    This season, Korir is 83rd in the world in 800m. Not even the best Korir, as Robert Kimutai Korir has run 1:45.52.

    The only way Emanuel Korir will make it to the final is if it's a 1:48 heat off a slow first lap. This way he could even win the final. I don't get how he trains though. What is this 44.87 for, if it doesn't translate to 800m? Focus on the 400m then and try to get under 44s.

    Max Burgan will win, with all 3 medallists under 1:43.

    Meanwhile Korir ran another underwhelming 1:48 last night in France.

    He looked great in the semi. Good chance to become the only World and Olympic champ besides Rudisha.

    I don't know who he is, but from the performances in the semi-final he is the most legitimate contender to the title. He the shape and physics for this distance.

    From Khartoum? I always said that the Sudan is the gold mine for 800m talents.

    re: L'innoculateur

    This thread is funny to revisit seeing people burying Korir. Guy is absurdly talented…he doesn’t need the perfect buildup just health and a few races. He’s also running for a contract, so the motivation is very high. This is such an evenly matched up final outside of maybe Tual and Wanyonyi. Not sure there’s anyone to push a 50-second first lap which will make it a crazy finish as all these guys are kickers.

    I'm expecting Kenyan to out past themselves, they always have this edge in the final.

    @techno

    We know Canada is a country built from immigration.


    The Arop family fled Sudan during the civil war of the 1990s, when Marco was a toddler.
