Ahaaaaaaa, just noticed that PELA posted something about this already...sorry.

well,

if a equal 271 performance all-time got it's own thread (Webb's 800m), a equal 108 can also have it's own!

Great depth in women's 3000m sc

First time with 17 runners sub-10:00

(old record was same meet last year with 15 sub 10:00)

Dare I mention that it's 66 or 67th performance without MrBowie doing a Yosemite Sam!!

Excuse me, why is a European record of 8:05.75 (even if the runner is not truly European by birth/ancestry?) so IRRELEVANT as to warrant NO response?!

Great result by Mustafa, he could well take a medal in Osaka.

It is not a European record, but it is indeed 2nd all time. Pretty good indeed.

Huesden 3000m Steeplechase

The results from both the mens and womens races where very interesting with the large number of big PB. Sure the weather and the competition was conducive, but are there other reasons so many can hit it big in the same race. In most International Races this does not happen. I know that in many situation promoters set up races to be fast and many run times they never ran before and can not run again. Also after these race many runner are placed under pressure to run these times again in championship races and can not. Does anyone have any opinions on how we should translate these results.
