That's ridiculous. 53.85 last lap? |

Impressive. He should go for a WR if he wasn't already trying. |

yep, we need a billed world record attempt. make the whole meet about it. |

he actually started his sprint before the bell, maybe 20 - 30m ( have to recheck vid ) quite honestly it looked a mid-3'30 clocking at the bell & even middle of stretch-drive he moves so deceptively quickly... |

Not to sound like Clifford Calvin, but I though 3:29 washis ceiling. This is getting interesting! |

leave out morons he ran that high-3'29 off a derisory pace with a stumble in stretch he ran 3'30 in rieti last year with suicidal start from wabbit & little drafting he already was in mid-3'28 shape in a perfect race from last year his "ceiling", has moved to high, maybe mid-3'27 currently a 58s 2nd lap looked to have destroyed anything <3'30 |

The rabbit hit 400 in 53.xx, not sure where Kiprop was. |

That's not ridiculous. One should close faster on the last lap, and if you're average in teh 56's, 53.85 means you were going at a pretty good pace. This isn't a 4 flat miler closing in 53.85, he's a guy running only 3 second pace off of that. It does mean he probbly could have gone a tiny bit faster, but you should close a bit faster than your first 1100 pace if you went out right. |

the only guy in the race he mighta any marginal fear of was nixon, who also has gone 3'29 however, that move 20 - 30m from bell tells me he fears no one now they might even "team" the 1500, with each leading for a lap, with nixon taking it to the bell in hopefully ~ 2'34 they can race the last lap & sweep the medals |

not true i'm pretty sure komen went ~ 56 in his 3'29.4 these guys need to be going low-2'32 at bell to stand chance of even pace last lap, but the pacers can't take them there that fast |

I didn't say his last lap was ridiculous, I said the time was. I'm trying to figure out what his last lap actually was. |

official leader splits 53.69 1:52.23 2:49.43 3:28.89!! last 300 was 39.45 |

moves from 20th to 5th all-time probably where he shouda been 1y+ ago suppose, better late than never... |
| ventolin^3 |

get another gold & he really needs to target noah's 3'28.12 as late-season target ( albeit noah's 3'43.4 is worth more like ~ 3'26.7 & maybe couda got even the 3'26.00wr in rieti '99 if he'd run the 1500 that day ) morceli's 3'27.37 looks target for next year... |

confirms somewhat lines of fit i've had for him this year & i did think 3'27 was eminently possible some prelims, based on somewhat on shitty 1'43.1s where he was proverbial mile behind wabbit at bell - shouda gone sub-1'43 if he'd followed closer 47.0 / 1'42.8 -> 2'12.04 , 3'27.71 47.0 / 1'42.7 -> 2'11.88 , 3'27.36 47.1 / 1'42.8 -> 2'11.96 , 3'27.37 47.1 / 1'42.7 -> 2'11.80 , 3'27.02 forget the 1500 - he shouda get those sometime in the near future & usurp morceli's 3rd on list, but i don't see 3'25.99 ever however, he has a realistic chance of stealing noah's 1kwr, which is piss-weak i really think it's worth pursuing regularly, as it's only wr he can dream off |

I was in Monaco tonight and it really was a jog to the bell. Asbel looked so incredibly relaxed I have no doubt that he could have went 3:27 low off a faster pace. The rabbit got a little too far ahead and wasn't much use for drafting. Robby Andrews looked absolutely atrocious. |
