Hot Events

I noticed today that the lovely Ms. Flanagan is now the 12th fastest female 10,000m runner ever, and 3rd fastest white chick (also ahead of her are three Asians and six Africans). But I also noticed that there were a lot of top performances this year at the women's 10,000. So I decided to look at the flat running events and see how many of the top 100 performances all time have come in the last three years for each event.
