Why People Are Wrong About Hellen Obiri

How many times did commentators mention Hellen Obiri’s ungainly form before and during the 2023 New York City Marathon? Despite her win in Boston and her record on the track, people seem to think there’s something wrong with how she runs. But the opposite is true.

Using slow-motion 120fps and 240 fps footage filmed at the NYC marathon, it’s possible to see how Obiri’s form works and why it was the key to beating Letesenbet Gidey and Sharon Lokedi in the final mile.
