As far as times go, she did it in 1:55, the fifth fastest for a woman in historyMen's world record is 1:41, most men do it in around 1:45

That is slightly misleading though out of context.It isn't so much her speed as her almost overnight improvement. From one tournament to another she improved by nearly 10 seconds didn't she?

Last year she was running about 2:04, beginning of this year at the African juniors' she ran 1:56 which was a PB by about 4 secondsSo yeah, a marked improvement in a year.

When were the African Juniors?There is definitely something abnormal about her, being serious.
However, I suspect it may be a case of a natural imbalance rather than an attempt at usurping the rules.

OK, it was over 10 months,but 10 seconds is pretty amazing from someone so young.
