5000 metre world record set tonight by Joshua Cheptegei, took 1.99 aeconds off Kenenisa Bekele's time which stood for 16 years.
4 minutes 3 seconds per mile pace.
Superhuman.

Massive achievement but it should have an asterisk next to it in the record books because pacemakers and fucking pace lights are a massive help. It shouldn't count. Much like Liverpool's title win. Champions*.
*Not really champions.

I scored a birdie on the 2nd hole at Studley Wood. I'm surprised you lot haven't mentioned it.

If you're predicting that Lewis Hamilton could drive 5000m faster than the bloke ran it then yeah, I think you're probably on safe ground.

It isn't over yet.
Could be West Ham's 100% record from the start of the 20-21 season until the end of the year.
There's a slight chance it won't be.

Let's see if he can do it in a proper race without the trick shoes.
Lewis Hamilton could eclipse him this year.
Still think David Rudisha and Mike Powell have the current best records, nobody has got close and Usain Bolt was an an absolute freak of nature. His records will stand for a long time.

Yeah i hated that marathon one where he was surrounded and protected from all the elements etc, so fair play to this chap.
Guessing due to social distancing he couldn't have help anyway!
Poor cunt probabpy should have been breaking it at the olympics a few weeks ago instead for proper glory.

Some quick running about .... but it’s hardly the equivalent of Michail Antonio scoring 4 times at Norwich

He had an artificial pacemaker, a light running round the track at world record pace. Is that cheating? I'm honestly not sure, the bloke still had to beat the clock to get the time.
