It looks like Baddeley with his new found 3:49 mile speed will be in the finals these Olympic games. Webb will be home on the couch. Webb is the world's worst sub 3:50 miler.

Actually until Baddeley runs 3:46, 3:30, and places higher than Webb in a Outdoor final than he is not better. Perhaps he is better than 2008 Webb, but not 2007 Webb.
Even Webb has won European races against top competition.
Yeap, You are right about that.
Right now Webb is Micheal Stember.
don't any of you jackasses have a bad stretch? the kid ran 346 last year and won european races against awesome comp. get over yourselves. let webb get back into it and get a life.
Webb is like Apollo Creed in Rocky IV. He completely underestimated his opponent.
No, Webb is still better than Baddeley, but Baddeley remains the "Great White Hope" until Webb or Mottram beats him.
you brits are just dying for a good runner aren't you?
Webb would crush Badds.
Yeah we are. Oh wait. Hello Paula.

So he's not anymore?
Osaka 2007
8 1154 Alan Webb [UNITED STATES] USA 3:35.69 .
9 583 Andrew Baddeley [GREAT BRITAIN & N.I.] GBR 3:35.95
to those saying that "webb has won a big european race and badds hasn't"...
....he won the friggin dream mile. that is a pretty big deal
yeah the dream mile was weak field. webb is better hands down.
If they raced today, I think Baddeley would win. So in that way I guess you could say he's "now" better.
Better at what?
Badds is clearly better at running 1500 metres right now.
Badds, with a first from Cambridge, is intellectually superiour.
But Webb has more hair.
On current from Baddeley is better but he still isnt as good as the Webb of old.
2008 Baddeley is better than Webb
2007 Webb is better than Baddeley
2006 Webb is balder than Baddeley
What does this mean? Perhaps that nothing lasts forever
And we both know hearts can change.
Baddeley is living in COE's shadow, while Webb is living in Scott and Ryuns shadow.
Both are under pressure to resurrect their nation’s miling prestige

7 Kevin SULLIVAN CAN 3:55.87
Alan WEBB USA DNS
Maybe it's wrong to award the "Great White Hope" belt on a DNS, but that's how I understand the rules.
