Berian was never in it. I expected him to do better.

Murphy is not clean. Get out of here people. His PR was 1:50 2 years ago and now he runs 1:42 for silver at the Olympics? You're all blind.
Yeah, he was only 19.. A lot happens to a guy's body between 19 and 21.
Murphy looked like he eased up a bit once he locked the bronze...it looked like he might have been able to pip Mak for silver if he had finished through the line.
Hhahahahahahaha lol at Murphy causally dropping 12 seconds in 2 years for 800m. These Olympics are so juiced.
Bosse died badly. He had it in the bag for a moment.
Centro ran stride for stride with Murphy over 1000m last month. Gotta be a good sign for him.

Rudisha seems to like Murph
Hah, noticed that too! Rudisha is just a really happy guy. Always seems to be in a good mood and seems happy for others as well.

Heat 1
D’Hoedt had 5 meters on the pack in 2:48.22 as Hillary Bor was in 5th. Just before 2k, Uganda’s Benjamin Kiplagat has injected some pace (5:42.82) with Bor in third.
Remember, it's just top 3 and next 6 and this heat is slow as hell.
One learns to spell from extensive reading. Do you have no interest in reading? Do you read books/editorials? Or do you just read running-related stuff? Do you have any interest in improving yourself? Or are you contented with being a slacker?
It is a damn poor mind indeed which can't think of at least two ways to spell any word.

Agreed. 19-21 is the first time that a guy can get his hands on PEDs without his mom and dad helping so the body changes a lot during those years.
Makh daddy impeded Murphy on the turn after 400!

Yeah, it's not that he didn't medal, it's that he collapsed so early on the backstretch of the second lap. I would expect something more like Bosse, where he was in position and had a shot, but just lost it down the homestretch.

lol no.
Murph was coasting in that race. Centro ain't running no 800 in 142. And he will get DESTROYED in the 1500.
MAKH WILL BE 1500 CHAMP
If Symmonds had taken his spot in world's last year, Murphy doesn't get to go get that valuable experience. Without Nick Symmonds, the USA has no metal in the 800.
That first lap from Kipketer was mad! I'd love to see the splits, he slowed right up at the bell and still did 49.23.

yeah....as a 19 year old. jesus you're a moron. he may be doping, but letsrun doesn't criticize young runners as much, given that a jump at that age is more normal
