Ain't no one in that field gonna match the kick of a 1:42 800 silver medalist. Kiprop is doomed. Centro will be a complete non-factor. MAKH DADDY FTMFW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Gonna pull a Coe on their asses!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Agreed. Prepare for a 3:29.
I thought it was official that was gonna win the 800. hmmmm
Kiprop has zero chance, especially if he dropped that Rosa juice.
Normally I'd say that running three rounds of the 800 would deplete someone enough to be at a big disadvantage for the 15. But Makhloufi is so doped that it probably doesn't matter.
Still think that Kiprop will find a way to pull it off. He doesn't want to have to wait over a year again to get his gold.
Kiprop crapping his pants
Just got back from running and was about to post this! Totally agree no one can mess with Makhloufi's speed. Is it me or does he look leaner than 2012. Haters will say he's JUICED up and I'll have to agree. Nonetheless incredible strength to take down these 800 guys who all they have is speed. Clayton also has nice strength but not like MF MAKHLOUFI
It's only official if Metric Miler says it is, as he's never wrong.
not a bad flyer at 6/1
Really? Makh beats Murphy by a stride over 800m, watches Rudisha pull away from himself down the final straight and you think Makh is now favored over Kiprop? Another 25m and Makh woulda won bronze. I don't imagine Murphy would be closing on Kiprop over the final 150m like he did on Makh, so I can't imagine who in their right mind might think this race positions Makh as a favorite in the 1500m.
It was interesting to watch that clown try to embrace Rudisha, who was gracious but turned to Murphy and embraced him and did his lap with the American.
Makh is a bufoon who leaves chemical contrails everywhere he goes. Ramzi 2005 v.2.0

maloofi ran this training primarily for the 1500 :http://sports.ndtv.com/olympics-2016/news/261887-rio-2016-kenya-s-david-rudisha-defends-olympic-800m-title
"It gives me great hope for the 1500, it's like a bonus," said Makhloufi
my interpretation of that is that he trained primarily for the 1500 but entered the 800 as doubling possible & the silver was a "bonus" to main aim
so that is, after rounds, 1'42.61, & he wasn't even training for 800 !!!
further evidence for this in that he has run no 800s in diamond league & had plenty of opportunities, although he ran 1'43.9/1'44-low in 2 small meets in france which are virtualy home-town meets for him

Are you serious? Murphy would be closing on Kiprop even more than he closed on Makh. Kiprop might not even have made it in front of Murphy at all in the final 150.

Mak beat Murphy be less than half a second but you say he's dirty but Murphy is clean? Talk about a double standard.
i assume maloofi is in something like 3'27/3'28 shape ( nowhere as quick as london '12 )
i assume Asbel will be in 3'26+ shape as his 3'29-low in windy birmingham was already a 3'27+ calibre run if 0 wind & paced to bell
this gives some strong evidence, that if a primary 1500 runner in maloofi who is in likely 3'27/3'28 shape can run 1'42.61 after rounds, what on earth 800 shape were actual 3'26 or 3'43 guys like hicham/bernie/asbel/noah ???!!!

True .. Murphy would obliterate Kiprop; 3:26+ is clearly not an indicator of speed.
