You guys have been completely ignoring Hull and Muir all this time, saying that St. Pierre should be considered a favorite for bronze. Both Hull and Muir should be considered better contenders.
If one is suspicious the whole field must be because they were all flying. I'm tired of hearing selective claims of doping for some athlete's improvements but not others. Was Jess Hull doping too when she took 5 seconds off her PB?? I'm starting to think it's a case of sour grapes when someone other than an American improves. btw look at Erriyon Knighton, strolling into the Olympics like he didn't test positive for a banned substance when an Australian swimmer got a 2 year ban for accidental ingestion of a banned substance. There's no consistency.
Knowing that super shoes have been around for a bit, could it be that this year's super shoes are different OR that improvements could be due to the athletes getting accustomed to running/training in these shoes? Total newb track and field nut here, so feel free to destroy this comment!
For the 800m, the athletes have always complained that there is less of an advantage to wear super spikes in the 800m compared to the mile 5k etc. there is still room for improvement for the 800m super spikes, but yes. Athletes have learned how to properly utilize these spikes.
St Pierre has better than a 3:55 in her. She ran multiple races at trials and then let her teammate have 2nd place shutting it down. But ya I don’t know if she is at 3:50
Oh Weldon ... what a "sore loser" dig at Bulgarian high jumpers and eastern bloc athletics from the Cold War in general ... First of all, Kostadinova competed and dominated until 1997, well past the Ben Johnson/Carl Lewis/Linford Christie drug addled era. In addition, another Bulgarian, Yordanka Blagoeva, won silver in the 1972 Olympics, and bronze in the 1976 Olympics, and was the first Bulgarian woman to break the high jump world record back in 1972. How does USA high jumping compare? Can you name a single American high jumper?

No dummies ... 400m and 800m WRs are older.
