Re: t-and-f: Tourova breaks women's 3000 meter steeplechase record
Has anyone figured a conversion between men's and women's steeplechase? How much slower would a Tourova be over the higher men's barriors? Or a man faster over the lower? 10 seconds? 20? more or is it a function of hurdling ability or the athlete's height? How would that be figured since no one runs both events? I usually think that a man's steeple time would be about 40 seconds slower than his flat 3 km but it must be less for women? Is Tourova 8:36 in a flat 3 km? Tom - Original Message - From: Michael J.

Can't help on the conversions, but Turova is 5-10 3/4 and has run 8:32.89 for 3000. She also has the fastest time in the world this year in the 1500 (She beat Jacobs in Monaco-4:01.01 to 4:01.02).
