"According to Australia's new queen of the athletics track, the world record holder Pechonkina virtually stalked her before the race."

That tactic obviously didn't work. WR or not, Jana Pittman will rank number 1 in this event, hands down. And Sandra Glover is almost certain to steal number 2 from Pechonkina.

Re: Big win for Glover at Rieti

How often has a WR setter in a given year not ended up being ranked # 1, and what's the lowest such a WR breaker has been ranked ? I sure am not going to research it, and do not expect anyone else to either, I'm just thinking about the issue. I believe it has hapened with a fair amount of irregularity.

I remember there being a couple of men's 10k world recordbreakers in last decade who've not cracked the number one spot. I suspect Patrick Boden didn't when he broke JT record.
