Ok new title, Makh is the first man sub 1:43 and sub 3:29.
Ahead of Cram if I remember correctly
your late to the show
i already stated maloofi was 1st
1'42+ / 3'28+
guy ~ 12 hours ago on another thread
maloofi albeit probably "morally" deserves combined points record as his 800pb was in biggest race of a quadrennial & inevitably "tactical"
this was tactical, but unlike 99% of them, it started off at suicidal pace with no paid pacer in field, but still "tactical" when position only important, not clocking
anyhows, Asbel, if he'd bothered to chase the clock in '14 race when he smashed nijel in 1'43.3 when he ran ~ 7m extra on bends & eased off at the end woud have buried the points total
the whole vid of '14-paris meet had it early on, but the 2 hour vid has now gone
Asbel was in ~ 1'42-flat that day if he'd run flat-out, ideal split, route- race
he was only a 3'28+ guy that year...
