He was in perfect position today, might've even taken out Kipsang inadvertently to remove any potential box. The last 200m finish was terrible...he just disappeared.
His year has gone from bad to worse. But it's stupid to say that a talent like Hobbs is washed at 22.

Dude is mentally weak and its clear from interviews his training is all over the place. He has trouble switching gears, but also isn't as good aerobically as the top guys either.
He did look terrible. There is no way around it, he needs to change coaching. Whatever bump he got last year can’t be replicated. There needs to be a change in stimulus. The same applies for Hoppel. Hobbs is young enough to change.
His face showed strain with 700 to go that I’m not used to seeing from him. Who is writing his training program now that he’s in Arizona and no longer coached by Warhurst?
