what a steal by Bowie. Looked like Ta-Lou took it easy in the end. Didn't lean in at all.

Both SL marathon runners (men & women) haven't finished the race. Anuruddha Cooray had run only 10km in the 40km men's race while Hiruni Wijayaratne has abandoned her race at the half marathon stage in the women's race. Both Cooray (UK) and Wijayaratne (US) are stationed overseas but run for SL.

I suppose that's true in a way but would be interesting to see if other best times during this period and see if they have at least improved. It's a 30 year period so you should have pretty much gotten close by now. 08-08-2017, 01:03 AM
Quote:American Carmelita Jeter has come the closest to matching Griffith-Joyner's best efforts (as of 2016), with a 10.64-second performance in Shanghai in 2009. Even the Women's 200 meters world record still stands in the name of Griffith-Joyner in 1998....timing of 21.34 Dafne Schippers timing of 21.63 in Beijing 2015 is the closest anyone has come to the 200 meters WR. 08-08-2017, 02:21 AM
