Let's give the Let's Run folks a hand.
In the Poll on Braziers time 77 percent selected SB, not PB and the mark was exactly half way between.

Lets persiste on the anti-formatage of LRC.

That’s a fair point. I just think as it’s his 1st major 800 in years, he’s definitely got the most room for growth in the coming weeks and think he’ll have got a lot out of today.
He also looked super strong at the finish which is only a good sign going forward. Maybe he hung back at the start as didn’t think he was in WR shape (which is essentially what they were going for). If this race was re-run in a week I think he’d be under 1:43.151 -

I'm not VERY confidnet.
While Brazier ran faster today than the PRs of Jonah Koech (1:43.32) and Brandon Miller (1:43.52) , I'm wondering if Miller is ready for a big one atUSAs after his recent 3:35 1500 pb.
As a former coach, I will say I find it wild that Miller will enter USAs with only 1 outdoor 800 race on his CV this year. He PRd in Rabat on May 25th and hasn't run an 800 since.
Brandon Miller's 3:35 is seriously being slept on. He's a 4x400m NCAA champion that was regularly running down guys with 44.X PRs and now he has a 3:35 where he led the race from ~900m.
I think there is a solid chance Brazier and Hoppel are fighting for 3rd.

Amazing race! I wonder how much a wet track slows the runners down.

Miller has slightly worse tactics

It doesn't really they have these new shoes these days that have little spikes in them

He’s obviously in the top 3 as it stands going into the trials but man this year is stacked

Amazing run from Burgin. If he hadn't been blocked by Attoui, he might have won. Coe's British record on borrowed time.
No way MB wins - he was eyeballs out down the straight and not gaining anything.

Brazier is going to medal at worlds
I sure hope so but I wouldn’t bet on it. I think we will see 3 guys around 1:41.5 and I don’t know that Brazier will be capable of that this season. I could see him getting to 1:42 low to mid, maybe run a PB, which would be awesome.
Im getting excited to see if Mike Smith can get him on top of the world again by the time he’s 30.

Excellent from Brazier. Very confident about him making the team now. Great to see him back on the world stage and think he’ll keep improving.
Awesome! He comes back from three years of zip! He must be clean! lololololol

No marks on WA profile since the 1:43.32 in Nairobi on May 31. Perhaps a really long block of training? You'd think he would get one more shakeout before USAs
I fear that Koech is either injured or something even worse has transpired.

JG covered Koech worries extensively in podcast last week. Indeed, seems worrying, but all explanations of lost race opportunity and focus on training seemed reasonable. Still, I’m surprised not at least running some smaller US race, of which there have been some.
As for Brazier vs. Miller. It’s not fair to Miller, but I’m so rooting for Brazier because of his past and his coming back. Miller’s 3:35 is great for an 800 guy, but remember Brazier’s seemingly effortless 3:34 some years ago
OK… also not fair, as that was years ago and Brazier may not have had time (likely has not!) to build up that strength again. So this 1500 talk is really all about who has the strength to navigate the rounds. And then there is also… who has the savvy to do it without hitting trouble and without overextending in the rounds.
Miller must have the edge on strength. Maybe Brazier on savvy?? We really don’t know. It’s going to be fascinating and awesome to watch. Whoever pulls through for top three, they will have earned it.
Just an awesome year for this.

No he wouldn't.
I just saw the race, Attaoui didn't block Burgin. He started accelerated a bit soon and paid at the finish.

Still wondering if Attoui will announce a mysterious injury just before Sept. meaning he doesn't go to Tokyo...

Nah. They just realize you’re an obsessed, racist idiot who can’t speak English.

Brazier is doped. He’s way over in the too good to be true column. Somone made made a big behind the scenes deal with Nike etc.
