McBride - the best rabbit in the 800 world
Bosse was 25/1 before the race started.
Now THAT'S value!
Bett and Amos aren't gonna become best friends, no? I'm glad Bett held on to Bronze.
Gotta say it though. Bosse ran like a boss.

Love to see the BBC masturbate over their British 800 guy who wasn't even cracked 1:45 yet...kinda a fluke that he even made this wide-open final. Good luck to Langford though, I guess.
Fluke? You mean he executed well enough in the first two rounds to qualify for the final and just finished fourth in the world
someone should tell him wrote:

I'm not so sure he know he won.
Normally when Frenchie's running in front it means he lost a fight
I picked Bosse for Silver, Kszchot for gold.
Amos is the biggest idiot to ever put in a pair of spikes. Just a straight retarded move at the merge.
Murphy must have puked on his stats sheets watching that debacle.

Kszcot deserving as well.
LOL, Brit fourth again. Cheers!
Example of erratic running in Amos. Spend so much energy flailing around. McBride, leading it out might work for a one off race, but not three successive rounds while everyone else relaxes.
Also, Amos was running almost as if he were trying to throw that race...he's such a panicked tactician
No doubt

BOSSE! He's had so many heartbreaks over the years.
I'm watching France TV Sport and they've gone NUTS! So happy for the French because it's a country that I've known and loved since my student days.
Bravo Pierre-Ambroise. Allez et vive la France.
Lisek banned doper, anabolics, boooooo
duh....after all this WC is showing, it makes perfect sense. this WC is such a farce sh*t show
Finnish TV interviewed Jager and he said that he was shooting for gold and is feeling really disappointed now but he's going to feel better tomorrow. Didn't see anything wrong with his race tactics.
Interesting how much slower the track is on a non-olympic year....
I'd want to see the replay a couple times before I make final judgment, but man I wish Langford ran Bett down. It looked like at least twice Bett was flinging his arms out, partly to keep from falling but it looked like he was trying to shove people around. Very annoying to watch, especially since I favored Amos and Amos couldn't get around.
That aside, I'm actually happy with how this turned out. Without any dominant force like Rudisha, the race played out unexpectedly and it was a mess, but it was such a guts race at certain points. I'm excited to see Bosse and Kszczot medal and take it to the Africans like in Beijing.
Bosse knew you get one match to light in the 800m. Kszczot too. Bett had a big enough flame when he passed Mcbride to get third.
The only reason Amos ran so fast so long ago is he didn't have to pass anybody; it was strung out from the beginning and he could run the rail. Put him next to somebody, and he runs like a high schooler
Yes, kind of a fluke when you've got the home crowd in your favor, Rudisha isn't in the field, Korir lost his form, Amos becomes a headcase, and the more-talented Americans still don't know how to handle tactics in the rounds yet. Kudos to Kyle for running well in the final, but let me know when he breaks 1:45.
