She looks more buffed-out in that photo than a young Alan Webb. Wonder what she could have ran in today’s super-shoes.

Keely was a "shoe in for a gold medal" in Eugene???
Ever heard of Athing Mu? Ajee Wilson? Oh, and Mary Moraa?
And where does Raevyn ROGERS fit in?
I don’t think Roger’s is a threat for gold. she’s always a threat for a medal.

The earliest times for Kratochvílová at the IAAF site are from 1976 when she was 25.
Here is her 400m progression to when she set the current-standing 800m WR at the age of 31:
400m Progression
1976…53.39
1978…51.09
1979…52.31
1980…49.46
1981…48.61
1982…48.85
1983….47.9941 -

No not really.
You will in a few weeks' time.
You have to be pretty uneducated about the sport to consider her a favorite or co-favorite. She was very clearly a second tier athlete to Mu and probably a consensus favorite for a silver.
Wanting something else to be so does not make it so.

But look at the frantic first 200m (it took Billings that long to get in front of Moraa) compared with the US champs:
Moraa 26.6, Keely 26.8
Mu 27.21 AJ 27.48
That's a mental pace to recover from. Maybe chalk that one up to the new 50s one-lapper.
Yes Moraa likes to go out ** harder ** the first 200 than Athing. This will be very interesting because could we see Athing running in second place after the break?
I think that will be the key to the women's 800 in the World Championships final. If Mu ends up in second place at 200, she will be boxed in. And Mu doesn't have experience running boxed in, so that will throw her off.
Plus she has a very long stride and being stuck in the middle of the pack means she might end up tangling legs with another runner.
Whatever ends up happening, it will be a very interesting race to watch.

Let it sink it that Jarmila Kratochvilova was on a massive amount of steroids!

Take a look at that photo and then try to name a current male 800 runner with bigger muscles than Jarmila Kratochvilova. I bet you can't.

1983….47.99Kratochvilova had a massive drop in her PR at age 28, the same age that FloJo had a massive drop in her PR's.
Is it possible that women don't peak until age 28?
Nope. It was just lots of drugs.
