El G beats Jakob by hundredths, Kerr by seconds
If we're talking PR vs PR, under modern conditions, I'm giving El G at least 1.5 seconds over Jakob.
I.e. I'm putting Hicham at 3:25 flat at least, with today's advantages.
That said, Jakob has not yet reached his limit in 1,500m.
What could Jakob do with unlimited access to untraceable EPO? 3:23?
El G is already faster than them without having the super shoes, so yes, he would definitely beat them with the super shoes and other technological advancements (wavelights being the biggest ones, but there are undoubtedly others).
Greatest men's miler of all time. Only Faith on the women's side compares to his dominance.
What would David Rudisha run in 800m under ideal conditions, sitting behind and at the right shoulder of two other 1:40-1:41 runners, then kicking at 300m to go, with super shoes?
1:39.6?
thats my opin wrote:
Who you got?
Personally, I don't see El G losing to either of them.
ElG - 3:22.9 / 3:39.8
