I watched this performance live last night. This is easily the most impressive thing I’ve ever seen. Her form did not change at all throughout the race, she had not a single bad patch. I remember seeing her 15k split and also noticing her complete relaxation and thinking she would absolutely shatter the world record.
She’s on a different level to the rest of the world. Simply unbelievable.
@@Thegardener87 On a different level but keeps getting beaten head to head by Hassan on the track. Perhaps Gidey should move up to the marathon at major championships.
@@XDF745 I think that there's a distance beyond which no one catch up to her. Hassan's PB at 10,000 is only 5 seconds slower than Giday's, but you can't out-kick someone who's a minute ahead of you.
@@XDF745 her best distances so far have been 15k and half-marathon road races. Track is a little short and strategy-oriented for the way she runs (pacing over strategy, no kick, just adding a bit of pace every few kilometers).
I bet Hassan could beat Giday's 5000 WR and Giday could beat Hassan's 1 hour record.
Giday seems a little young to go up to Marathon, but I bet she'll do it eventually.
@@jkf9167 That's why I said she should move up to the marathon because at Worlds and Olympics there's nothing between 10000m and marathon.
Her running form is so strong it's amazing
The way she run, the form, balance, strides and grace looks like she abide in a magnetic spectrum of genius.
Letsenbet Gidey a true sporting icon.
Dropped the WR by a whole minute. 😮😮😮 That's insane!
on her first attempt at the distance
Too good to be true
She’s well on the way to becoming the greatest woman distance runner of all time.
@@larsrytter1052 I wouldn't count 100m, 200m, 400m or 800m distance running 🤣
@@larsrytter1052 don’t even know what that means.
Does she have to run WR for 5/8/10/12/15/16/20/21.1/25/30/42.2 to be the greatest female distance runner doofus?
🤣
@@RunForPeace-hk1cu Pretty obvious he means ultra distances
I see Hassan at present being the best distance runner with Olympic gold at 5,000m & 10,000m with a rare range of fast times from 800m to half marathon. Gidey got a bronze at 10,000m only in Olympics.
Gidey lacks finishing pace over the last few laps like we saw her run in the Olympics. I doubt she’ll beat Hassan at 5000m or 10,000m on the track. I see Gidey being a top class marathoner in the future.
@@APBCTechnique Hassan can't beat her WRs though , can she? And Gidey is only 23. Better than most people ever were at that age. She'll learn a lil bit more about championships racing but there's no doubt she's the greatest
She didn't smash it.
She destroyed it.
It was actually quite clear she'd break it. That distance gas been dominated by athletes that weren't exactly well known to be quick over distances like the 10 000m. And she already has the 15km record. So she was bound to wreck it. But not by that much!!!! Damn
Absolutely. Her performance was nothing short of legendary.
She **OBLITERATED** the WR
I have to say, her running form is just about the smoothest I have ever seen. Quite often, both for male and female runners, their hands, arms, legs, and feet are flailing around some much -- especially in the latter stages of the race -- that I can't believe they are going as fast as they end up going. In the case of Gidey, I *can* believe how fast she runs, because her form is just SO flawless and smooth. And, she seemed to be smiling in most of the shots near the end of this race. I think she was having a very special day, and she knew it. Congratulations to her for smashing that world record. I'd love to see her move up to the marathon some day. I bet she'd tear that up too.
Running with elite men.
Smashing world records.
A legend already at such a young age.
Great to be alive to witness such breathtaking talent. Who would've thought anyone greater than Bekele or Gabrselassie would come out of Ethiopia.
Slow down there. Haile and Kenensia are something else..
Letesenbet is too. On the women's shes up there. Now she needs to win championships nd olympics like tirunesh dibaba
“Running with elite men” lol 😂 uh, I think they’re called PACERS!

@@jefb2361 that channel is toxic
@@waterproof4403 58k subscribers don't think so, though I'm not one of them.
Ladies and gentlemen you are seeing the athlete of the year. CONGRATULATIONS Gidey. I really enjoy watching you . Best wishes.
Sorry but the athlete of the year will be someone that won atleast one gold medal at Tokyo. As great of a performance as it was the half marathon get you exactly zero street cred in the long term.
Another mindblowing detail is that she blew passed Hassan's one hour world record en route to her finish as her 20k split was 59:45 (Hassan reached a bit less than 19k for the full hour)
The track time is less good than the road time, compare with men also
@@jojolords4523 Do not discuss it. Letesenbet in some weeks can smash the Sifan record becoming in the first woman over 20 kilometers in one hour!
@@cbaron1234 Look, the track one hour run is not executed that often, Mo Farah holds it on the men side, it's not an optimized record like the half marathon, because there is way less competition, that's all
@@jojolords4523 absolutely
I still believe she can’t beat Sifan Hassan in any competition. Some athletes strive in Solo missions like Geday.
Simply awesome. Without doubt she is the most fluid, relaxed (even under stress) and stylish female runner I have ever seen in my 65 years of avidly watching athletics. If I was still coaching, I would make it absolutely compulsory viewing for any aspiring female distance runner to study her running style. Simply perfection.
True, looks incredibly smooth. What do you tynk of her arm swing though?
@@yaksofirst2154 Personally I think it's fine and not as exaggerated as you may first think - if you watch her run over all her races you will notice that the swing of her arms varies considerably depending upon how quick she is travelling and how much effort she is putting it. Her arm swing is far less pronounced in the early stages of her races but as she ups the tempo or is under pressure in a race she will exaggerate her arm movement in line with that increase in effort - this is normal for almost every runner. It's worth looking at her across a variety of races to observe this. But I must say that even when her arm swing is at its most pronounced it is still very rhythmic and smooth. Beautiful to watch.
@@oldmanbanksia you sound like a great coach. Intereseting inputs.
The extremely high heel kick and perfect balance remind me so much of Bekele. What an astonishing, exciting athlete Giday is, I can't wait to watch her break the impenetrable barriers of 14:00 for 5K and 29:00 for 10K.
She will indeed.
Gidey has quickly become my favorite athlete. Absolutely stunning stuff
I was in this race yesterday too and while running I had the opportunity to see the head runners and their pace seen live is completly amazing
i did the Lisbon half couple of years back , and i had the exact same feeling.the elites were freaking flying it looked surreal. I Felt like a midget next to giants … i finished @1:45 , but was turtlesh compared to them
@@stalin1909 great time bro!!
What elegance! which class!
I have the impression of seeing Hailé Gebrselassié again
Congratulations Letesenbet!! that was an outstanding and very impressive race. So glad you put a smile on our face and to be hopeful in the future.
I hope she doesn’t quit track yet. She still has a lot to give there, especially in meets where pacers are allowed.
Unfortunately those meets with pacers give you zero street cred. Its at championship level where it counts. Just think. Hassan blew past Gidey in both popularity and credibility in Tokyo. Gidey belongs on the roads and now being part of the NN running team she will be encouraged to moved in that direction.
Great video. She's my favourite female athlete by quite some margin. Her blend of strength, endurance and sheer grace is unrivaled, in my opinion. And this performance was just insane. Has anyone here ever tried to run just one sub-3-minute 1k? Unless you're 18 and a college athlete, it's really not that easy.
I run 19 mins 5k practically dying at the end, she does 5k of half marathon in less than 15 and I’m a man it’s crazy how fast pros are
Her first half marathon ! This is absolutely insane wow
Oh my Goodness💜
Nati? You got tired of saying her track record shouldn’t count?
@@mdavidom5903 😂
Fun fact: the score Gidey got for this performance is the same as a male athlete running a 12:29 5000m or a 25:59 10000m. To run a time like this in her debut half marathon is the stuff of legends.
Do you know what the marathon equivalent it.
That is mental
@@AlexM-hm2wb insane
The scoring tables don’t take into account the effect of the super shoes .
@@AlexM-hm2wb The equivalent in the men's marathon is 2:01:11 and in the women's marathon it's 2:11:17, both of which are ahead of the current world records.
Flawless running form, so beautiful to watch!
her running action is so beautiful to watch - absolutely metronomic and smooth .. amazing to watch on track or road ... was robbed by backrunners at Tokyo ..
She'll get her redemption in Paris 2024
Athletics world is not a safe place more. One day you can awake up and the astonishing Letesenbet Gidey has smashed another world record...
She looks so relaxed that she seems hardly to be breaking a sweat. Great female runners all seem to be very settled into their hips, relaxed into the foundation of their bodies, while their legs keep up a calm rhythm. It is fascinating to watch the way they cover the ground. Flo Jo was like that in a full sprint.
The insane thing is when you consider how special a sub-30 10k still is for is women - less than 20 women have achieved the feat across track & road - and yet she splits 59:45 for 20k! It would be like a man running consecutive sub 27s.
Congratulations!! The most beautiful running -style i have EVER seen !! really PERFECT !!!!
Beautiful - ✅
Powerful - ✅
Smooth - ✅
OMG - ✅
A doper. E-P-O. OMG.
@@icarus8471 shut up
She runs alright, too!
Gidey probably has the most beautiful form of any female runner ever. Just perfect rhythm, composure.
Better than Tirunesh Dibaba?
It’s absolutely insane to see how much this female athlete has been able to accomplish in such a short span of time. She is extraordinary on and off the track, and I can’t wait to see her smash even more records in the future!
Still couldn’t beat the top guys times.
@@kovy689 yeah no shit, so? Does it make you feel better about yourself?
@@stevenlobby4119 Chill out, little man. She’s not gonna jump thru your screen to bang you. Relax.
@@kovy689 Not a single soul asked about that.
That would be borderline impossible and not nesicary to acomplish male runner times as a female dumbass🤦♂️
@@kovy689 i am a woman but go off
Gidey has ushered in a new form of racing - the time trial. Similar to time trialist of cycling, Gidey can pace herself extremely well and like them she doesn’t have the kick like Hassan. Nevertheless, it is fantastic to see a person pushing the boundary of what is possible!
She had world class competitors in this race. It would have been head to head if they'd been able to keep up. It only seems like a time trial because she put them away early.. I understand that on the track/at shorter distances, that she has liabilities related to kick and strategy, and that something like her 5000m record hasn't been accompanied by the kind of wins you'd expect from a world record holder. But her most dominant wins have been on the road at 15k plus. At the 1/2 Marathon, if someone's gonna have to run around 63 minutes, she'll win head to head. Her reputation as a time trial-er is partly because the distances she runs on the track are shorter than her strongest distances. For instance, if her 10,000 meter time is 5 seconds faster than Sifan Hassan's PB, then Hassan can take advantage of her superior kick to win races. But if her half marathon time is more than a minute faster than her closest competitor, they'll have to catch her first. And the way she runs consistent, incremental negative splits, it could feel to her competitors as if she's making a move against them every couple of kilometers.
I hope she can eventually extend her distance to marathons.
@@jkf9167 appreciate the comment Josh. I think you are on to something particularly with longer distance. However, if Hassan tucks in and hang on to dear life, I can’t help but think Hassan can pip Gidey at the line regardless of distance. Sort of like a sprinting cyclist sitting on the wheels entire race and just crank it up in last 200m. I believe the pace that they are running drafting do matter albeit not as much as in cycling but enough to be decisive.
@@demultiplexdfunc177 Hassan wouldn't be able to keep up. Hassan's WR hour run was 18.93 km. Gidey's 20 KM split today was under an hour, so Hassan would be over a KM behind. Hassan's PB half marathon is 105:15 to Gidey's 102:52. That's a huge differential compared the the 5 or 10 second gaps between their PBs in track events.
Gidey's main problem as a track competitor is that she's a road racer. A competitive track event doesn't lend itself to the kind of obsessive pacing that Gidey likes to do (did you see how often she checked her watch?). And as you mentioned, Gidey doesn't have a strong kick. However road events are generally won by someone pulling away significantly before the last few hundred meters, and by running negative splits that grind down their competitors. And in a road race, Gidey can draft men if she's leading the women.
Gidey is a drug cheat and a disgrace.
@@icarus8471troll
Few words...4:47 per mile is amazing! I believe we'll see sub 1hr soon, as she already skipped 63 min! Well paced, she could run a 2:10 marathon or better. BTW, her stride is a running 'master class.'
Maybe 2:11-2:12, but they will not run a sub 1 hour because they will need to run at 2:50min/km which is almost the same pace for her 5000m we but in a half marathon
@@davidwatched935 maybe she will not be the one, but it feels like she will be the one that starts the dream. Like there was the 2h marathon by men
@@TheChessRunner I have a feeling Letesenbet will absolutely destroy the marathon world record soon
One thing is left for her, World marathon record. I like her, she is strong relaxed and consistent.
I can feel she can break 2h10m for the full marathon...
@@r.a.6459 I can't see her breaking 2:10, but 2:12 maybe. That would still be huge.
She said that her ultimate goals were a world marathon record and an Olympic gold medal. I wonder if the marathon would be her best shot at gold, considering that they don't have 15k, 20k or half-marathon in the Olympics. I don't imagine that she knows yet.
Letesenbet‘s Performance is stunning - and this video presents it with so much information and appreciation 👍👍👍 great 👏👏👏
This analysis always amazes me! You made many important but difficult to comprehend easy to digest and appreciate this Half Marathon race and how Gidey really performed!
She's amazing,I'm sure she can break the marathon world recod anytime soon!
Gidey and Cheptegei are in their own class. They come promising to break records and smash them to bits. My two favorite athlets of today doing me proud.
Your commentary is, as always, informative, captivating and entertaining. Thank you.
Totally agree
Massive congratulations to Gidey, what an achievement - her running form looking glassy smooth!
Looking forward to her first full marathon !!!
Truly epic. Such smooth form!
I love to see her over the marathon, just like Kipchoge she has a flawless running gate.
Dropping the WR by more than a minute. I knew she was going to break it but by that much???? Omg wow what a legendary runner
EPO does wonders.
5:10 ....I am running out of words......😀 NOOOO TRP!!.....KEEP TALKING!! Your commentary is my "safe place"👍👍👍
Bloody amazing! Great video as always
And as always... Another amazingly well done video. 👏
Poetry in motion! Congratulations!
She isn’t the future of women’s running, she is already the GOAT of women’s running!
She is must my favourite athletes! You’re impressive 💗 We proud of you!
Was waiting for this video. Took quite a while going by TRP standards.
The greatest long distance runner of all time - period. It is not just her fast time but her consistency and relaxed form of running in all of her long distance records. No body else will break her world records in her era - except herself.
Only problem is she has zero kick on the track so she will never win a championship level track gold. She will move to the roads permanently quite soon.
The greatest is tirunesh dibaba
Incredible. Can't wait to see what she does next!
_🇲🇱 Letesenbet Giday - Thank You! - Ethiopia 🇲🇱_
She is a phenomenal woman and her running style is smooth and interesting to watch. Congratulations Gidey.
I want to mention that Valencia was a fantastic race by her, but the 15k time 2019 was achieved on a more hilly track in Nijmegen/NL. The weather conditions were very good for both races. I took part at them both.
Perfect form, long stride and fast turnover. She is incredible.
Not easy to manage all those three parameters for an hour.
Wow I watched your documentary on her yesterday about her possibly breaking the record today and to see that she has done it is absolutely insane. Congratulations to her. And as always, thanks for sharing your superb content.
Spectacular! What an absolute goddess!
That's an insane performance.
Just stupidly impressive. I have no words. Her 5k WR vs this shows that she has incredible depth
Just now I remembered watching your video on Gidey's 15k wr and predicting her to break both 10k and half-marathon records
Beautiful running! Stunning
Congrats Gidey!
I simply LOVE her running form.
Wow. Insane. Unbelievable.
&
Congrats.
What an Athlete Gidey is. With her style of running, she will smash the full marathon soon
I knew she was brilliant what a beautiful runner.
More than a year ago, I predicted Gidey would become the greatest female long distance runner ever just by watching her smooth, super efficient running style, not to mention the Indian guru like concentration she displays. Even more impressive is the fact that Gidey is still mastering the colossal power, understanding the potential and talent she possesses. In 3 years, she will pass all competition and she will already be collecting medals and world titles.
That was epic performance
Gidey is just taking down records everywhere! She’s amazing! Love that she praises God at the end of races too!
Mind-boggling! I'd love to see some kind of comparison of the men's and women's WRs in different events to see how the gap compares at different distances. 62mins seems extremely close to the men's standard.
Exactly what I was thinking.
I think it's even more impressive that she used male pacers for this race. You can actually see that she was aiming at breaking the 1hr barrier. This lady is not joking around
why would they use female pacers that makes no sense.
1 hour? C'mon man! I like and respect her but 1 hour, that's not gonna happen any time soon.
@@Vivungisport Yes that won't going to happen ever. There is limit in every sport for both male and female athletes. The women can't go under 1 hour. This is physically impossible.
@@milenivanov5436 Tirunesh Dibaba could have in her prime. I have a feeling we will see it soon. Insane
@@Vivungisport it will bro
So relaxed yet fast. She is above the curve. Goat👌
We knew she was special from the start. What a legend!
Gidey is awesome, great performance
Trp we need a tribute video for Agnes Tirop 🙏🙏
Incredible 🤯👏
and she does made look like shes comfortable. his run style seems so great and smooth idk if shes flying or having springs on the feet
She’s truly something else 🔥🔥🔥
She has almost every major long distance record. There is only one missing
The Marathon 🔥
@@alenajzeli6401 no doubt she'll get that too wow
10k roads.
Clearly she's going to rewrite the marathon record books but I think she has plenty unfinished business at 5000/10000m so in my opinion not just yet..
@@jamesparker5666 her track records shouldn't be official
Can’t wait to see her go after that 2:14 in the marathon!
LETESENBETE GEDAY YOU ARE IN THE HISTORY BOOKS AS THE RECORD HOLDER OF THREE DISTANCE WORLD RECORDS SIMULTANEOUSLY. YOU STAND ABOVE EVERY BODY ELSE.
Proud of you my dear sister, u have a lot of success ahead of u, God bless you! And peace to our beloved country, 🇪🇹!!!!!
Nice running technique. I would watch it for hours.
Her form is absolutely beautiful and so is she.
She has such a mesmerizing running form that the ground rolls beneath her with every step.
she looks so comfortable and makes it look easy - that's how the best do it
the fastes half marathon of the word... simply amazing!!!
Ethiopia simply is shining right now with athletes like Adola, Selemon Barega and Gidey both last named athletes are even still pretty young.
I wish them all best and btw does anyone know what happened with Samuel Tefera the man was such a promising prospect still somehow just went by 🤔
Was waiting for this upload
Same , been waiting for someone to talk about it.
Thank you. Ethiopia
Awesome and incredible performance
"running out of words" haha well played!
oh wow. I just learned about her time right here. Below 63 minutes for a female runner. That's really incredible. 20 years ago a male runner would have been happy with such a time.
Gidey holds world records in the 5000, 10000 and half marathon??? That's unprecedented. This was her first half marathon??? She's also only 23 years old, born March 20, 1998. Wikipedia gets her height wrong though. She's around the same height as Sifaan Hassan, maybe 5' 7" or 5' 71/2".
Congratulations my legendary, Letesembet.
She’s not only the future Of women’s running, she the now of women’s running
A whole minute wow!
She's PHENOMENAL 💯
You did her justice. Well done.
This is video gave me goosebumps
She is great
I like Letesenbet Gidey eversince her World Junior Cross-country wins. Watching her lovely strides is a joy to watch. I believe she is destined to become the greatest female marathon runner (yes 42.195 kms) of the decade aside from her half-marathon, 15k run and others.
Can we get a INEOS 0:59 for the women
I doubt it .. but I and others feel she is capable of a sub 2:10 Full
At first I thought “oh no, she had men pacers.” But then I saw the time and realized she probably was genuinely racing those men.
Good lord!
