Grandma comes out of nowhere and improves her PB by 20 seconds over 1500 m in one year, becoming the 11th fastest athlete ever. Even Johann Mühlegg’s performances were infinitely more believable. I absolutely have no words for how disgusting her performance was. If she doesn’t get banned within the next 7 days, they should absolutely get rid of doping tests altogether.

 

 

Progression in the 800 is almost as outrageous.

And that's O'Keefe done and dusted after roughly 400 meters. Must be sick or something..
