1:42.77 SINCERELY Thank You Bryce MF Hoppel

Wow! I didn't realize that, great running and smart move.

Is they tested your reading and writing comprehension yet?

Yep I’m not gonna lie I’ve never been a huge hoppel fan but the dude just works and doesn’t raise any controversy. Seems like a good lad

Nice to see Hoppel and the kids make the team.

Did he officially join? Earlier in the year I thought he clarified in an interview that he was just running with Hobbs because they were in the same location, so Hoppel was more or less tagging along but still had his own coach. Maybe it changed or I misunderstood.

hoppel has a great shot at silver or bronze. a real shot anyway.

I don't get it- I thought this board decided that Warhurst (VNTC) didn't know how to coach, that he was a dinosaur. Kessler and Hoppel wouldn't agree.

I thought maybe Miller surged too early and might not make the team. I thought the one or two runners behind him were closing a bit on part of the homestretch. Hoppel deserves his accolades, Kessler as well - his prospects are just crazy, and Miller too. Two sub 1:44s back to back for Miller after never having done it. Great team.

Hoppel ran 1:46.4 pace in the 400m between 200-600m to finish in 1:42.77.

Kessler (1:43.64) ran 1:45.5 in that same stretch.

Miller (1:43.97), like Hoppel, also ran 1:46.4 pace from 200-600m.

A faster start from Kessler and a similar attack mid-race can see him even lower 1:43.

EXACTLY what I said. Miller went too early, I thought, but he hung on. When he moved, I thought it cost him a spot. His move kind of made the race because it caused Hoppel to take off earlier than he would have. Great race by all three guys!!

Agree, very impressive performance, and I'm glad for him.

Anyone know how rare that kind of even splits are in a sub-1:43 race?

THE 800 IS BACK BABY!!!!!

I though Kessler might have been on dead legs , young and Pr twice in 5 races

omg

and I know I am a shameless shill lol I do

on his 6th race

PR Ed in three

Respect to both. But I think Rick’s 1:43.5 back then is worth saying he would have been fighting for the win today.

It’s those crummy uniforms. Look at Jewitt etc. The style and colors make runners look like 1920s beach-goers.

....

Hoppel clearly has more in his tank THIS YEAR if he stays healthy, I wouldn't be shocked if he ran 1:41.9 to 1:42.1 AR and thar would give him a shot at GOLD. Anything can happen to the Kenyan favorite. IF BRYCE CAN BREAK THE AR I don't see more than one person beating him, if that remember.anytging can happen to the FAVORITE.

Those splits must be wrong. I've been told over and over again on this site by "experts" that the only way to run your fastest and best 800m is to have a rather big positive split. Like 2 seconds. Some since Hoppel ran his best race of his life, i highly question those splits. But if it is true, then that means Hoppel could have run 140 today with the correct scientific pacing. 🙄

Wohlhuter is one of my favorite runners from that era (and I think he’s posted in a few threads on here?)

Maybe Kessler will be the one to finally take down Rick’s ancient US 1000m record. It’s really mind boggling that he ran 2:13 way back then

Wanyonyi and Arop are tough. I agree we might see something amazing in Paris. And before that Paris and Monaco might see 4 athletes scare 1:42.
