i'm not a brazier hater i'm a pete hater
if i split 45 in HS and ended up doing fartleks with eric jenkins 6 years later i'd probably be dreaming about the 400 and playing wide receiver too
brazier achieving all that he has DESPITE being coached by pete is telling of how great he is
Thoughts on Nijel Amos? He ran 1:41 9 years ag. He's 27 so he could still be in his prime, he's also mentioned on his story about a 1:39 dream.
OP says Brazier is forgotten yet has Brazier on his mind to the point of getting on LetsRun to post about Brazier.
He's injured you dummy
Nijel Amos ran 1:41 in 2012 and in 2019 seven years apart. That's never been done before by anyone else. He still broke 1:43 in 2021. He's listed as 27. I'd guess he's several years older. No matter. He's still a threat at any Diamond League meet and maybe even at World's in his now home state.

What is wrong with you? Why is he forgotten? Because he got hurt? Maybe you forgot him (and you are?), but anyone with ANY knowledge of track knows this guy will be back and will run fast.
Timestamp and date this post so you can eat some serious crow either this indoor season or for sure the upcoming outdoor season.
Moron!

Where are all the posts about any 800m runners right now? What a dumb thread. Brazier got hurt - everyone knows this.
+1
Track doesn’t start for another 4-5 months for the talented runners.

This is such a dumb take. He hasn't been forgotten. Indoor season has barely even started yet. You're crazy if you don't think he will probably be back in top shape for Worlds. He doesn't even have to go to trials this year. He's got plenty of time to rest and be back in AR shape real soon. Don't be shocked when he breaks 1:42. Write off Brazier at your own risk. He's still the best middle-distance talent we've got and one of the best in the world. Y'all need to chill.
.....
FINALLY A real post and not a troll seeking attention. I still see Brazier running 1:41 and 3:29 before his career is over.
We all retired because Donovan is objectively the goat with a WB and two AR's indoor and outdoors in his primary event but whatever. No one's pushing him so we're gonna run again. It's been a snoooooooooozzzeeeeeeee fest watching the men's 800.
Also Me

THANK YOU. I'm gonna laugh at this thread when Brazier and Murphy go 1, 2 at Worlds. But, feel free to write them off because they got hurt in a crazy off Olympic year. The guys with actual medals and ARs at major championships suck so bad. Only on Letsrun.

At least have the balls to post under a registered handle if you want us to keep score at the worlds.
In case you're wondering who the next WR holder in the 800m will be, my money is on 17-year-old Noah Kibet who won bronze at the World U20s in Nairobi despite splitting 49 and getting knocked off his rhythm.

as i see it, defending pete is taking a shot at brazier's talent
Well, well. Guess it turns out the great hype was just that. Hype. The fanboys went home devastated.

Donavan Brazier ... getting a name correct is fundamental so right there you're a fail. Your post is a bulletin-board example of the nonsense that runs rampant on this board. The MO is to run a person or event down to make yourself look good. Too much on here reads like it comes from the bottom of a bird cage, piled high in excrement.
All the top Nike coaches are ruining or at best, stalling out 2 out of 3 athletes they get, it's not just Julian.
Notice the consistent theme whatever the event focus, of loss of joy for running and mood decline, whichever former Nike star is talking.
Kinda like that scene from Seabiscuit where the abuse is stopped and one day, if lucky, the fun and desire for velocity can return.

Eight-hundred metres is the event most nations in the world either are able to produce elite or near elite athletes. Jamaica can produce Olympic or World Champion 800m athletes from time to time, also Ethiopia and Norway. I believe we are near our human limits, 800m. There are not too many sub-45.50 400m men worldwide willing to train for 800m. I don't know if you follow elite swimming, due to swimmers swimming in lanes and unable to see all opponents, world records in semifinals at Olympics and World Championships occur. T&F, may need 800m to be raced four turn stagger, in their lanes the entire race in order to see world record 800m. All the bumping and tripping final 700m make one turn stagger inefficient.
