Master tactician.

Teach them to use King David as a rabbit.
Rudisha is probably tired of a guy who's older than him being referred to as being 21.
Aman disqualified, so no Amos or Aman in the final.

I wonder if Symmonds regrets his decision to run in Worlds?

King David has to be having a good night after dispensing with his season-long nemesis like that.
Rudisha will win this.
Yes, he tactically knocked out Amos.
Amos has too much faith in his flailing arms but today, his legs flailed more and let him down.
I say that with a light touch.
Amos needs to change tact. Rudisha is at 90-95% and when he is good, he is good. No one can touch him.
NOw he'll haev to deal with Tuka but that will be taken care of.
We have three guys in the finals and four in the steeple. Awesome!

I want Rudisha to win, but after seeing Tuka run a 45.1 relay the other week and running a last 100 in the heat in 12.4, looking easy, I think he'll take gold. If he doesn't hang too far back off the pace and is within 6m of Rudisha at 600m, I will take Tuka for the win. Hope he's clean!

That sounds like gangster talk. Is Rotich gonna tackle him or something?
Ksczot is who to watch out for anyhow
Rudisha jogged across the line, doing just enough to win, while those guys were all out. Only an injury keeps him from gold.

Yeah cause nijel amos is really 35...
Is it just me, or does Rudisha let on a very slight smile upon hearing the result at 3:14:

This is about right. Amel Tuka was the anchor man for Bosnia in the Baku games. Using a watch, I timed his split in 45.05--hard to get it exactly. He's starting from several lanes in because he got the stick way behind and he passes almost everyone to get 2nd. Along the way he has a major collision with one of the guys he is passing, maybe around 200m. He has to pass a bunch of guys, so he is not running your normal 400m. His 400m pr is much slower but this race does indicate he is among the fastest 400m runners of all time among upper echelon 800m guys. That's hard to beat, an even split, "fast" finisher with a 1:42.5 this year and legitimate 45 low to mid speed, even for Rudisha. I was looking up sub 45 guys who could have possibly come close to sub 4 in the mile, and in fact there were very, very few even to go sub 1:45 in the 800m (almost all pure 400m or 200/400m guys)--I think the list was maybe just Mark Everett (1:43.20), Alberto Juantorena (44.26/1:43.xx), and Harald Schmid (high 44, 1:44.83). Tuka just might be able to make a fourth.

Right...because that's how gangsters 'take care of' someone: by tackling them. Sure. You're so soft and stuffy you wouldn't last 1 minute in the inner city.
