Top ten women all better than 2:26. WTF was in the water? Usually 1 or 2 chicks beat 2:25. 9 of them broke it. 3 better than 2:20. Has that happened before? Dude.

I read this yesterday on Runner's World (yes, I go to that sight but it's usually for the racing news) and thought the same thing. The Ethiopians sure are pouring it on. It'll be interesting in London this summer at that distance.
It's just sick watching Athletics Kenya try to decide which of their plethora of sub-2:06 (sub-2:05??) guys will get to go.
