BBC said it was.

Presumably that is another bit of poor reporting then 

As said above, the original world record that Keeley broke yesterday was set on 3 March 2002, the day Keeley was born.  Not a great fan of the BBC but I don't they said Keeley set it on her own Birthday.

The previous world record holder was later banned as drug cheat, so not surprised it took 24 years to break it.

We've had a cracking day

Three gold medals in the last half hour or so

Isn't it funny that when the women win these golds there is no moaning that men can do it faster and better. But when the ladies win the euros the uneducated retards amongst us say it's rubbish football and they should be pushing a hoover around the living room.

In 1983 Seb Coe was nearly 11 seconds quicker than Hodgkinson was tonight. Fkn shit that Keely.

Tbf athletics financial rewards is largely driven from sponsorship which is more balanced so you don’t get the stupid calls for equal pay

Aye, I get that. But I'm not on about the financial aspect. The point I was lazily making was that most of us have accepted women in sport like with tennis and athletics because they had their own circuit or championships, so to speak, before our generation came along. There might have been at the time but now there are no ridiculous and misogynistic comparisons to the mens side. Unlike with the big 3 in England now, who are relatively new to bigger audiences. I'm not a golf fan but the women's game has grown massively from a similar sexist start.

I'll just point out that in 2003 Paula Ratcliffe ran the Marathon faster than any British man that year. And plenty men ran the distance.
