Chances he'll be able to run under 1:41 in 4 years? Pretty high. He's only 23, and within the next year or 2 I can foresee him lowering his WR by at least .8 with rabbiting and ideal conditions. No one is close to sub 1:41, and I doubt anyone but him will be able to touch sub 1:41 for a long time to come. The only reason the field was so good this year was because they had the greatest 800m of all time rabbit them the full 800 meters. Don't expect Amos to break 1:41 anytime soon by himself. Why do you need to run a "tactical" race? Are you just saying you want it to play out slowly and make it sit and kick? That's the entire reason Rudisha frontruns. It's because in Berlin the conditions sucked and he found himself in a tactical race, and he swore to never let it be like that ever again. Why make it tactical when you have the raw ability to run the kicks everyone and remove any luck or chance? If he ran tactically I'm sure he would do excellently too. How many runners can split 49.x/51.x right now? None. If he the first lap was slow, like 51 or higher, what's the stop him from just splitting 50 or lower 2nd lap? Since you bring up the fact that he is young now and will be unlikely to run sub 1:41 in 4 years, then that just affirms why he should frontrun: if you can run as fast as you can now, why not? Daegu was a tactical race: slow for Rudisha (1:43.5 (or .7, something like that). He stretched everyone out first 200 by going out in 23.x, slowed them down next 200 and split 27, kept it even for the next 320, then turned the jets on last 80 and pulled away from everyone.
This is the gayest thread title ever.
