The IMPOSSIBLE World Record | Women’s 800m 

There is absolutely zero doubts that this woman was not extremely doped. A woman can not get this muscular without androgens it is just impossible. She has the body type of a male sprinter. You will never see a man this muscular setting a WR in any event longer than 400m because is not possible.

few years ago she said: ""If they took away my record, it would be complete nonsense. I have never taken banned substances"" :D we czechs and slovaks have a good sense of humor sometimes

Kratochvilova set an unbelievable World record aged 32 in the Women's 800m, in what was only her 2nd race at that distance. And she did that whilst being built like she could've won the outright men's World Middleweight Boxing Championship! Until she was 28, Kratochvilova was at best a 'Journey man' type of athlete, but in just a few years she obliterated the 800m record, and improved her 400m record by, wait for it, a full 5 seconds! So, how likely is it that she was using performance enhancing drugs? Answer- Virtually Certain

How did Roger Daltrey find the time?

Personally, I don't think that record is a clean one. Consider the upper body physique of world class 800 runners today (rather thin arms, understandably) compared with Kratochvilova and her striking deltoids, pecks, and triceps (I say the same of Flo Jo, btw). Unique training methods don't account for that upper body muscularity, especially when it's not vital to middle distance running.

That was a dope race!

keely has now run 1:54.61. she might never break it, but she might break 1:54 and may have the fastest probably clean time ever.

Caster Semenya would have probably broken it by now if it wasn’t for the new rule

The training you mentioned that she did really caught my attention. Today, everyone from middle distance to marathons only train a little in the gym and just run plain but I wonder if training with a higher resistance while running (weighted vest, restricted breathing, tire attached) would actually yield a greater gain then just plain running

Impossible to break cuz that’s a whole dude

Honestly, I was trying to figure out who this man was and what record he held.

Je pense que celle qui battra le record du monde de Kratochvilova sera Phoebe Gill qui vient de gagner le championnat d'Angleterre alors qu'elle n'a que 17 ans. Elle est qualifiée pour les jeux olympiques de Paris. Elle n'était pas essoufflée à l'arrivée et n'était pas fatiguée. Sa marge de progression est énorme. Elle pourrait courir deux tours en 56 secondes chacun et battre le record du monde en 1'52"". Je pense que Phoebe Gill va être la sensation des jeux olympiques.

Photographic evidence should be all that's needed in this instance.

THAT’S A DUDE

mate she'll be doped out of her mind lol

I might be wrong but i think I can see the outline of her entire hog in those shorts.

You mean "The most juiced up track world record there is!"

Definitely 100% steroids user. No woman middle distance runners have those types of arms, legs, deltoids, or built with lots of hair in the armpits. With the male jaw line features in her face, looks like a dude 800m record to me.

The only person that could possibly break it was Caster Semenya till seb coe derailed her career

Honestly… looks like she was sweating testosterone 😂😂

Finkel is einhorn

That’s a man

Roger Daltrey?

She ran at a track meet I competed at. People were shocked when she ran past. She ran like a linebacker. Nothing graceful in her stride.

Here’s a reason why I think Kratochvilova is not legit, the current men’s record holder in the 800 meters is David Rudishi of Kenya and he’s built the way a 800 meter runner should be. If Kratochvilova was a bit taller she could play opposite Aiden Hutchinson on the Lions.

Cheating is not confined to drug taking and was it ever the key issue? Drug taking within athletics is almost never fully understood by writers in forums, and see the issue as black and white and its far from it. How do you feel about athletes who have taken drugs outside of the testing 'Reveal time?' And are 100% clean when tested, albeit possess a body like tarzan? 1. Is drug taking the no. 1 issue? If a person competes in a women's event and 'she' has a massively high and not allowed testosterone level either occurring naturally or by injection how does such sit within your critical analysis? How do you feel about the level of track springiness (co-efficient of restitution) being unregulated and massively reducing records? How do you feel about modern shoe technology? Clothes technology and what is or should be banned (as in swimming) I know nothing about. Possibly not yet fully addressed? 2. How complicit are governing bodies in rule breaches? (a) For years (indeed until extremely recently) women in short distance events were allowed to compete notwithstanding illegal testosterone levels. (b) At at a not too long ago Olympics 96% of host competitors tested positive. There was only one disqualification based on such!!!!!!! So very rarely spoken of! I only ever saw it mentioned with credibility within a year of those Olympics. (c) Testing by blood / urine is only good for a few days after injestion. Taking a hair sample can be good for up to 30 days if the hair is long and has not been bleached, but a very rare test. There are many other things which I could list which support the notion that it's easy to cheat, or otherwise legally improve times without improvement and likely always will be, if one is that way disposed, and only careless fools get caught.

Seem to have forgotten Moraa - & is it for Semenya to have a go, if she's allowed? Think if she hadn't been far better than the rest at the time, she probably wouldn't have had a problem...now these three could be competitive against her.

bro was fast that's for sure

Take that record away from that guy ! It's totally unfair to the women !

That’s a dude, Adams apple was big as hell

The women's javelin WR of 80M is no less impressive and will probably exceed the 800M WR in length of duration, as will the women's discus WR of 76.8M; however, Bob Beamon has the oldest Olympic record which will be 56 years old in 2024. Flo Jo's records are in jeopardy, but seems unlikely. The women's 800M record could be the first to go down among the trans men of the 80s.

He was way ahead of *her time when it comes to transathletes competing with women

Looks like s(he) has the same condition as that caster semenya dude

We'd have to find another man with that physique to have a chance to break the record.

I thought we were talking about the 800 Woman record not men...

That is a dude, that record will never be broken. That is not a female. Look at her or him.

Barry Bonds thinks this record is obviously tainted.

Yeah so she was almost certainly taking performance enhancing substances, but so were most athletes at the time... and there's no definite proof, so you can't erase the record !

lot of muscle for an accountant

Faith kipyegon requests a chance to challenge the 800m record.

no ladt schik bck in those days?

I'm not so sure she wasn't drug-free. I have seen some women who are ripped just as some men through insane training. When she trained at 4 a.m. on ice in winter, dragged the tyres, and ran on a cinder track, wearing a respirator to increase her lung capacity was just mad, but having worn a respirator I can tell you it does increase your VO2 max massively. What I see from the pictures and videos is a ripped body ahead of her time. Now if she did, then she did the same as all the Russian and American athletes were doing at the time, so her record should still stand. I hope Keely is the one to break the record, but she will have to take a leaf out of Kratochvilova's book and try some of these insane training methods to see if it improves her physique, stamina and times.

“She”

Let me just remind you all "smart people" that Men's world record for 800 meters is 1:40:91 from year 2012...thats whole 12 second faster....Jarmila's time is not even in mens list so no....she is not a dude....

Til this day im not sure how they allowed this grown man to run this race against woman, set a record n keep said record.

THAT'S A MAN!!! LOOK AT HIS CROTCH AND THROAT!!! NO WONDER "HE SET THE RECORD. 😮

They were all on steroids back then, both East and Western athletes. What set her apart was the unbelievable hard training, 8 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Lady looks like Roger Daltrey from The Who! hahahah

Imagine if they had the Nike shoes of today ...

Women? I thought it was Sebastian Coe.

NOCRACKCRUTCHILOVA.😂😂

See the close up of her jaw. The dope may have caused this overgrowth and misalignment. So sad this "record" is still the record.

I had the opportunity to meet Kratochvilová. I was not able to handle her training doses. Be aware of a few things. She is a very tough and talented woman. In her time in the Czechoslovakia, it looked like she trained every day. No family, no friends, no fun, no personal time off. Just hard training. It's similar to Viktor Tikhonov's base in hockey. This was the time. Today, no one would want to live like this and train for one thing. Maybe she was taking drugs unknowingly. I think not. That kind of person just isn't born often. To this day, he has no health consequences from the drugs and still runs. If she took drugs a lot, she wouldn't be able to live like this anymore.

Ella tenía una historia de récords antes de estos en 800 no salió de un año para otro como FLO FLO

Very hard working..... on tons of PEDs, basically a man.

DRUGS REALLY DO MAKE A DIFFERENCE. ERASE ANY WR S BEFORE 1985

The records will come eventually, when they are due. Athletes will always focus on getting better, and on winning. It's what they can and should do. The good thing is, it will be true talent and real progression of training, technique and the human body developing with time. Without the use of harmful substances. When it happens, it will be amazing. And I'm sure it will surprise everyone. And it would be wonderful even if it's someone completely new and unknown that does it.

Cute as a button... remines me of the sisters Irina and Tamara Press.... Lovely gals

No on ten Jarmil Kratochvíl dokázal věci.

Drugs5

To suggest that Jarmila wasn't using steroids is total rubbish and reckless. It does disservice to Sport. If you look at her physical features between then and now you can clesrly see the marked difference.

Faith Kipyegon can do it

Was this person an actual female?

Thats a dude 😮

« She » also holds the 400m as well. This was in the peak steroid era.

This is a man!

Kids don't use drugs

How do we know that wasn't a trans male running the female events? The muscle tone is just too jacked... something ain't right.

That woman who set the 800m record......I would swear is a man!

They check to make sure she female.

She's a man baby YEA

If Kratochkilova DID run a fair race and won on merit she has had to survive 40 years of finger pointing, verbal allegations and abuse simply for the period in which she ran AND due to her country and others similar having a record of " WIN, WIN, WIN. No matter how you do it, that isn't important, just win.

That is a guy.

This is the most doped race in the history of the human species

Thats defo a dude !!

Nothing feminine about her but if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck then it is a 🦆

*That’s either a dude, a roided-up dude, or a roided-up woman.*

This is a man

Is 1:53:28 really that fast? I mean the world record is 1:40:91

Thats a male or a transgender

Everyone---ladies---in the Communist East Block (East Germany, Czechoslovakia, Russia) were taking steroids, various enhancement drugs---all towards increasing testosterone (for women---there are no records by men at this time of any significance). Marita Koch, Jarmila Kratochvilova, Tatyana Kazankina, were all world-record holders, aided by drugs---and, yes, tough unorthodox training. Flo Jo, also was drug-aided. She nearly grew a moustache. She knew she would never win gold or break the world record without it. So, why did they do it? Ambition makes people do dishonest things, and cheat, anything to win, and run a world-record. There a fewer drugs for men---I think---as there are for women, so, it is not exactly to a man's advantage. Hicham El Guerrouge, I believe, did not take any enhancements, medical aids, at all. He was born with a spry, light frame, the perfect physique, and he trained unquestionably HARD---to the point of tears (sobbing) it has been said. It was willpower that got him to the top. Look at Jacob Ingebrigtsen. Sheer willpower, courage, and strength. And good, if not great, genes. Clean. Let them keep their records. Someone will break them---cleanly (more advanced training techniques, faster tracks, better spikes, etc..). I believe that Kelly Hodgkinson, and Athing Mu, either, can do it, in time.

She's a man

most obviously cheated record

Hodgkinson does not have any comment because she will NEVER EVER be that good!!!

if that is a woman then my cat is donkey

She’s obviously on steroids !

She is more of a man than a woman. I don't believe she is clean looking at her physique. The muscles are like a man physique
