And I don't want to hear how they'd run 3 rounds. Rudisha ran a WR at the end of 3 rounds.
Yes, and that's one of the reasons that 2012 800 WR is considered the greatest race of the 21st century. It's silly to use that as a point of comparison.
In a championship 800, I'll take the experienced racer who knows how to run a 2:00 in a final over the newbie who ran 1:58high in a time trial every single time. Edwards ran a smart race and deserves nothing but praise.
