Also a weird race with Hoppel so far back in 148. But he tends to jog it in more lackadaisically than most once something has gone awry and he is out of it.
Wow! Hoey takes down Wanyonyi and Arop to WIN Lausanne Diamond League

Great race. I did think he looked too tight in the face early on and his coach needs to talk with him about relaxing. But then he won, so what do I know?
It looked to me like he had his game face on and also brought his A game.

Hoey looked good - and very determined.

its a tragedy that hoppel is on the team and not him
Yeah. Hoey has been the better athlete for almost all of the year. His performance even in the trials indicated better form compared to Hoppel.
Hoppel hasn't found his form this season.
Trials? You mean the rounds at USA?

Even if he is qualifier for the World championships, he is not "trustable".
We don't see machines like Kipketer and Rudisha every day.

That 142, when everyone in the field ran 1.5 or more off their best, is definitely a 141 low effort.
No it isn't. Its 1:42.

Isn't Hoey the first American to beat Wanyonyi and Arop in the same race? Wait he maybe the first athlete ever to beat both of them in the same race 😯.
Sedjati beat both in 2022 worlds
I forgot about Sedjati. Wonder why he didn’t race?

Superb race from Hoey in slow conditions. I wonder whether some of the runners were worried about sustaining an injury from pushing too hard. Wanyonyi was also a bit boxed. I am not sure that he pushed it all the way in after that but Hoey was certainly the best out there today and has a fine shot to make it to World's, albeit only around 20-30% with all the variables of a top-notch one-off final in the 800m against a field like Wanyonyi, Arop, and Attaoui.

Wow, 1:42 in the pouring rain!

If he ran 1:42 in a foot of snow, would it be hypothetically worth something faster?

Wanyonyi eased up in the last 50 to do enough to get 2nd but he didn’t try to max out for every millisecond.

I think on nights like these where it's miserable weather and the guys have been waiting around in rain, warming up in rain and having to race in the rain, there can be moments when you know it's not your night, and you have zero interest in fighting it. And once you mentally check out, even 1.41/2 guys like Hoppel can lay an egg and look like a HS runner. I wouldn't read much into it - had it been 75 and a typical Lausanne night and he dropped 1.48 I think it's a totally different situation.

you and so many others downvoted
why did a 141.1 guy who can negative split run so slow and off the win by a serious margin?
what kind of time would you run on a wet track in the steeple versus good conditions?
this is a fundamental in handicapping, for the horses, .... and peeps

100% on the mark.
Of course that won't satisfy the keyboard warriors thousands of miles away in their pajamas. Simply moving forward is incomprehensible to them.

You have any post you don’t like axed and then you complain about keyboard warriors. You need to learn to move forward.
And yes, the horrible weather cost the field some time. How much? Who knows? Certainly not you.

You do understand that the keyboard warriors in their pajamas is pretty much everyone here, including you?

1) As an athlete and as a fan I've never had that problem. There will always be another race. Move forward. You don't have any other choice.
2) I never speculated about it. It was 1:42. The clock doesn't lie.
Settle down.
