Karsten says he can be competitive with Jakob in the 800m in this interview recently.

I don't think it is possible for a ~10.20 100m guy to run a 1:45-46 800

That may be true but since that doesn't apply to Warholm I'm not sure why you brought it up

Do the homework please before posting.

Warholm was a 10.50/21.0 guy in 2016, when he was a 46.10/48:5 guy. He did not race any 100/200 since then. Now that he ran faster in the 400h than he use to run the 400, what do you think he can run in the 100/200?

1:49?! This is a joke right? The dude ran 45.94 OVER HURDLES. I don't think you realize how close 800 and 400h training really is. Looks at Anna Hall, who can run about 2:02 just playing around with the event. AT WORST this guy is running 1:46-1:47. I would call within 2 seconds of Jakob competitive.

You would - but it isn't. Over that distance it is a gulf.

Also, what 400hurdler was ever competitive over 800? There's an obvious reason why no runners doubled over those events. They are completely unrelated in what they require. Being good at one has nothing to do with the other.

How do you do homework on a guess here? We cannot hand him a 10.2 is the answer.

I wrote "~10.2". Which means around 10.20, so something between 10.10 and 10.30. Is that ok for you? I think we can all agree that he is not a 10.50 guy anymore nor he his a sub 10 guy. Don't you think it's a reliable guess to say he is around 10.20 now? The 800 guess is a blind guess so it could be a big suprise on either side.

Why are you on this thread if not for arguing about meaningless stuff? That is what we all do all the time.

Armstronglivs sometimes you really show your ignorance. There are at least 3 men who were world class in both the 400m hurdles and the 800m.

3 is a very small number when there are dozens of 100/200, 200/400, 800/1500, 1500/5000 world class guys in history. It tends to prove that the correlation is weak. A few do well in both events but most 400/400h runners can't run two laps. Hard to say if it's the case for Warholm but given how powerfull his stride is, his ability in shorter sprints, and the rare occurence of the 400h guys able to run around 1:45, I would bet Warholm can't run this fast in the 800.

They were mostly over forty years ago. 3 of them. And how many 400hurdlers and 800 runners have competed since then and today? Thousands. The few exceptions prove the rule, that there is no consistent overlap between the two events.

Until Warholm runs 1.46 this is all hot air.

You are not very bright. You say categorically that most 400/400h runners cannot run 2 laps. We don’t know this because most do not try to be 2 lappers when they are OK with one lap.
