The 800m is probably dirtier at the moment than at any point in history, even the full-throttle EPO era. Poor Max Burgin - finally overcome his injury problems and now he might have to run 1:40 just to win a global medal.
Guess he forgets results from London 2012. Had to run pretty fast there to medal. So far current crop hasn’t produced a similar final n
Except Paris 2024. Haha. Still, not too dissimilar from London 2012. Slightly faster sure, but if you were aiming to medal in 800 since 2012, should be aiming for 1:41
News-flash: former world junior medallist who ran 1:47 at 17 and was a top 10 NCAA XC runner at 19 is very talented. No way! During a break-out season he PR'd by under a second? He must be on all the sauce.
Good points in your sly smile reply. And, watching him run, his stride, gifted with a great stride. Rare to see one like his.
