Women also do remarkably well in ultrarunning. See Courtney Dauwalter who just took 2nd place overall at Tahoe 200 miler and legends like Ann Trason
Much more amazing to me is that this 10% performance difference holds remarkably steady for men and women's performance in a great range of distances, both running and swimming[0].

Yes, a world record is always remarkable in the general sense.
But in this specific context (discussing the coach's claim that women are "more capable of long-distance peak performance"), I wanted to point out that women's ultrarunning world records are not particularly better or worse than women's world records at other distances, even sprints.
