Pretty awesome to see. I think he’s gonna lower his own indoor American record (1:44.21) in the near future.
I tell you what I’d really like to see - someone finally taking down Johnny Gray’s 1:12.81 outdoor World’s Best. 36 years that mark has stood up, with Rudisha (1:13.10) the only man to come within four tenths. You’d think, though, that if Bosse could run 1:13.21 and Solomon 1:13.28, the record can’t be that strong. You’d think Brazier, Korir, and Amos would all have a legitimate shot at it.
It’s be fun if one of the European DL meets (not Monaco) put this on. Korir it seems was somewhat held back racing-wise last year. Kenya’s 800m team is such a gauntlet I could see why. He’s my best bet for it outdoors. Brazier is definitely capable but Petes comments about time trials indicate to me he won’t be doing record attempts.

Well known that Juantoreno ran 1:12 flat in practice prior to 76 Oly. Unofficial World best split 47 I'd like to see someone officially break 1:12, but until then - Juantoreno was faster than Johnny
I suppose I could be showing some ignorance but I do not think that’s well known, at all. Could you please provide a source?
It really isn't well known- I just wanted to say that. There is an old video out there with his coach talking about training and a 600 at world record pace. Hard to find like Johnny Gray's 600m WR video.
