THE BEST WOMEN FROM ADDIS ABABA..ETHIOPIA....QUEENS OF ETHIOPIA

No 53 second lap. It was 57+ seconds. Pay closer attention to the clock because it stopped early.

@limjay29 If fun or interesting happened all the time, we could never appreciate it.

.....Cont. on Barmasai,
The cameras caught him saying something to Kosgei and when the media asked him what it was that he had said to Kosgei, Barmasai said that he asked him to slow down in order to let him win his share of the jackpot. Barmasai was excluded from the share of the jackpot for bringing the sport into disrepute. What Defar did was good for her and even more importantly, good for the sport.
On another note, we now have Dibaba, Defar and the small Vivian Cheruiyot.

Wow!
Ethiopia, that was a race!
Defar was perfectly within her rights to win the race. Colluding can be very dangerous and could even lead to disqualification. I am Kenyan and I remember that in 1999, Bernard Barmasai was about to win the golden league jackpot. In the final turn, at just about 150m, he was flying home neck and neck with his countryman Christopher Kosgei "Jogoo" when he asked him to slow down in order to let him (Barmasai) win. Cont........

It is such a shame that these two are possibly the greatest female track distance runners ever and they almost barely race each other. That is why track is such a dying sport.

If they raced each other all the time it wouldn't be nearly as interesting as when they do now. In 2007, the single most exciting event at the World Championships was the Mens 100m because it was the only meeting between Powell and Gay. This is the case when Defar and Dibaba race. One non-championship clash a year is probably enough (and probably all the circuit can afford).

Because they're athletes and they're competitors. They don't make deals to cheapen their sport.
