Because she was the person to break the 23 YEARS OLD world record that was set in 1993 here in Rio2016, Note; without wave light technology, without the new spike shoes that was introduced recently, and without a pacesetter...She set her own pace from the early start of the race and was able to maintain the pace till the finish without retreating...She is a GOAT...I admire her courage and endurance, I hope she comes back better, improving her speed for sprint finish...other athletes know this as her weakness that's why they beat her at the end of the race.

[@semansco]

5:19 Interesting that the commentator pointed this out. Japanese runners do this (leading from the start) because they have to "appear to be trying hard" for the only people that count to them in the world, other Japanese. Their second responsibility is to fall back and wait until it is time to pick off struggling runners in the last few hundred meters. This also plays well in Japan, "look how perseverant we Japanese are!". Japanese runners follow this pattern in all international distance events. Yuki Kawauchi actually won with this strategy in the 2018 Boston Marathon as all the top runners had already dropped out. His winning time was the slowest time Boston had seen in over 30 years.

Japanese tend to keep the race honest. Races during the Mo Farah era were ridiculously slow and tactical, boring.

When asked about doping, Diamant Ayana said: “I praise the lord, the lord gives me everything,” she said through an interpreter. “My doping is my training, my doping is Jesus -- otherwise I’m crystal clear.” What a beautiful victory under the giant blessing statue of the Savior in Rio. The same I think applies to another silver and gold medalist Vivian Cheruiyot, who is also very beautiful.\\\As for current record holder Letesenbet Gidey, which possesses a deadly combination of several virtues to break the hearts of many male athletic fans, I would very much like her to be pure as well, and I hope so on the basis of her Christian piety. Because if an athlete occasionally improves himself slightly with banned substances, it is unfair to other athletes. At the same time, it spins a sad hopeless spiral that athletes could start doping only because other athletes are doping. And I place my hopes in this Abyssinian star that she would rather accept an unjust defeat from the doping athlete than do the doping herself. I'm not naming anyone and I hope everyone is clean. God bless Africa, greetings from Europe!
