Almaz Ayana destroyed the 10,000m World record to kick off Olympic finals action this morning in Rio. Ayana's time of 29:17.46 shaved 14 seconds off Wang Junxia's 1993 mark. 

Social media exploded, and not everything was positive. For some reference, Junxia later admitted to being a part of Chinese state-sponsored doping. Her previous record was 22-seconds ahead of the next best all-time mark, until today.

TiruneshDibaba, lost a 10k for the first time ever in her career in June. And just got beat by a half lap. hmmm

Ayana runs 29:17 crushes the Chinese (drug) World Record(29:31) from the 1990's.....

Splits for Ayana--- 14:46 and 14:31.... laughable.

Please stop using the terms "extraordinary" or unusual in this championship. It's unreal, truly.

Since when would @MollyHuddle run of 30:13 be out of medal contention? #never

Now not to go all soft, but you can't definitively condemn as doper based on performance alone. There's alway context (eg: testing quality)

— Ross Tucker (@Scienceofsport) August 12, 2016

So what context inform here? There's little to no testing in ETH, we know this. We know the WR was super doped before. That adds suspicion

Not sure everybody is getting the sarcasm here. https://t.co/SYFyEvTKaY

Ayana ran a 14:30 second half - quicker than Olympic 5000m record & the first half would have won 3 of the 5 previous Olympic 5000m finals

This race is a clear example of what happens when you play with EPO kids #Rio2016

Of course, there some were positive reactions, too.

In my opinion, @MollyHuddle American record should be celebrated SO MUCH MORE than that world record.

Hats off to Molly.
