Ah, time to eat some crow as a superb new women's world record was set today by Brigid Kosgei besting a 16 year old record by Paula Radcliffe by a smashing 81 seconds. And she looked great at mile 18 behind two pacers.
Still, Berlin owns the men's world records.
Sorry, @NYTimes: my Chicago home pride is very touched but this misses
a) last seven (!!) WRs set in Berlin (as flat, fewer turns)
b) the last time Chicago had (male) WR was 20 years ago
