no
name is calculo & i am never generous
analyse better
he is running wide before camera moves away briefly & running wide again when it moves back
to suggest he pulled in suddenly then pulled out again during that brief absence means extra distance run from change in trajectory & also loss of momentum
learn geometry/physics
is this a joke ???
- 2nd bend is run entirely outter part of lane & at 38.1s his L foot is on lane line !!!
that is easily 2.5m extra there
- 3rd bend is entered wide & still running wide when camera returns
to believe he zig-zaged in/out during those brief seconds only adds extra trajectory + loss of momentum
again ~ 2.5m extra run there
- 3rd bend he is running wider & wider & running briefly in lane 2 towards the end !!!
he even gets pushed wider in the stretch & running in lane 3 at the finish !!!
that is easily ~ 2.25m
total of
7.25m
no
~ 1'42.2
this run has shocked you & from now one it will be always stated that Asbel at 19y had 1'42-low ability just from extra distance run without consideration of non-ideal splits & being boxed in
that ->
~ 1'41.7 / 1'41.8
at 19y !!!
Asbel was bona-fide contenda to break 800WR in '09 onwards & perhaps even as early as '09 as doha was very early season & 1st serious 800 of year for him
to detriment of athletics history he didn't take 800 seriously
is this a joke ???
learn to watch
from being 2nd behind kaki, he suddenly gets passed by Big-Man & another guy, blocking his path & unable to launch his sprint to match kaki's
Asbel showed incredible sprint which he coudn't launch until homestretch instead of going with kaki on backstretch
similar lament as ovett had in euro-'78 when he cursed that he sat on coe too long & shoud have kicked on backstretch & not waited until homestretch
is this a joke ???
he gets virtually 0 drafting from 200 - 400 as running wide thru-out !!!
he never gets paid back 200m of drafting in 2nd lap
i wasn't even generous enough to offer him drafting, but he is owed upto 2 tenths in race, which absolutely solidifies
~ 1'41.7 / 1'41.8
& perhaps quicker with a 6'5 pacer for him to bell only
no
he gets coupla tenths for lack of drafting
is this a joke ???
he has listed 30th june '89 birthday not some 1st january birthday which is usually an unknown birthdate & inevitably listed as start of year
he rose to world prominence just 2y before
if he was 19/20y in '07 why didn't he run on circuit in '06 or even '05 when he couda made X100 more $$$ than buffalo-herding back in Kenya ???!!!
bottom line :
as a pup, of 19y, he showed 800 WR threatening ability but not interested much in secondary event & much more interested in glory event of 1500
