[@stephenrivera4706]

@mpgrewaI00 The fact that he ran nearly even splits makes this world record much more meaningful, as you have to maintain a certain pace for such a long time, to the extent that the brain starts to do anything to make running more appealing. That is why Bekele was able to run the time he could, his brain was focused enough to at least let Bekele give an amazing last lap, to break the world record, but Joshua's brain was taking a beating as it had to withstand the constant boredoms of running at an even pace. Now yes there is better shoe and track technology, but there is also better technology to find out if an athlete is doping, and I am not saying Bekele is doping, but it is more likely that he was doping than if Joshua Cheptigei was doping. As to the weather, yes I agree that Cheptigei had an advantage, but if you notice, Kenenisa Bekele had way more people come, obviously because of COVID-19, but still there is an advantage in having people as you have more things to stimulate your mind, and as I stated before running at a same rythmn is boring and if there no crowd, your brain has even less things to "entertain" it's self. Even in their prime I still think Dibaba and Bekele would have not been able to attack this record.

[@Professional_Dirtbag_Hippie]

I think he was watching his watch to be able to break his record again. I believe he is capable of breaking 26.maybe not this year. But nobody can doubt him now. Just think. He ran over 1 second faster, per 400m lap. ... Than his pace from the road 10k WR

[@orepus2021]

I think Kenenisa bekele would have matched this in his prime with equally good pacers, light pacing and shoe technology.

[@moswak9216]

Maybe yes...maybe not

[@NamiseSports]

Probably, but he once said that he doesn't care if his records get broken in the future, because at his time with the current technology he was the best, and he knows in the future better technologies and trainings will come

[@justinstephenson9360]

No he would not...he would have been 10-15 seconds faster at a minimum (and that assumes that the shoes give no more than a 1% advantage). After saying that, Joshua looked so smooth that in a real race I think he can go faster than this. Sub 26 mins is a definite possibility

The amazing thing about Gidey's performance that I just heard this morning is that, apparently, she hadn't won a 5000m since 2016!!

This man looks like he's just jogging.

[@idontsignin]

The lights at the side of the track are a genius idea. Why they never thought of it before this season is unreal. It gives the athlete something to focus on, and it gives the people watching a guiline to how close the run he is to the world record time.

I can’t wait for Mo Farah versus Cheptegei in 10000m at 2021Tokyo Olympic Games.

Wow Cheptegei if he can manage to break the half marathon it would be a a great benchmark 2 world records this year maybe 3!

[@triathlontimmy]

Why is anyone surprised by even pacing when he's got the lights right by his feet keeping him on pace lol?!

[@officerearl1543]

Yo those are so op. I wanna run with those lights sooo bad

why don't to try out the same and then tell us?

The lights undermine this wr since he basically had a pacer the whole time. If this is legal then so should kipchoges 1:59:40 🤷‍♂️

4:34 "Talk about consistency" Well, as there are lights on the floor indicating the pace, that is not impressive anymore.

[@NamiseSports]

Right now, I don't think there is another athlete that can keep up with those lights, it's amazing that Joshua never fell off the pace at any time, the lights helped him to not run faster, but anyone else would have just seen the lights go farther and farther

[@canopybreezesoutdoors4916]

I totally agree, why in the world are not half the comments in this thread griping about the pacing lights (LED Rabbit). We might as well put a laser light across the football field to let the ball carriers know how far they need to go to get the first down. Total BS
