so you're saying that theres a much larger sample size for the 200, so wouldn't it make sense that there are more females that can run faster times?
It makes sense that the top performers are more closely clustered, less likely that they are anomalous. But the problem is comparing it to an event that may be anomalous in either direction, so I don't think the precision of a detailed table is possible. But looking at the top elites still makes it plain that 1:57 is a tougher barrier.

I've heard that the 800m is the most participated track event outside of the 100m.

re: Subway Surfers Addiction

I'd say the mile is the 2nd most popular race. Also the sub 2:05 is much better than the sub 24. It takes much more training and is hard for people to hold that type of pace for so long. I know many people that train 800 and run sub 2:05 and can break 24 if they try. On the other hand, I don't know many 200 meter guys that run sub 24 that can break 2:05. Definitely the 800 time

i know a lot of guys that can run 2:05 but don't have the speed to run under 24

re: the freeze

Sub 2:05 is very difficult for a top collegiate sprinter. Sub 24 is easy for decent collegiate mid distance runner.

iaaf tables are good for comparing 100/200/400 but rubbish for longer distances

i use some "mathematical tables" which are absolute based on math not stats & will remain unchanged until doomsday unlike iaaf tables which get reviled ( or is that revised ? ) every few years

this is my favorite line of mathematical equivalents :

9.875

19.75

44.00

1'42.00

2'11.52

3'28.25

4'45.23

7'22.11

12'41.75

26'20.07

on this basis :

24.00 = 1'59.00

2'05.00 = 25.50

This is almost correct only the 1000m time is out, but doesn't this make Seb Coe the best all round athlete because he was the first to better you line of equivalence at sea level?
