As much as this board rails against Trans athletes, which I'm not against, it's pretty funny that people who have run their whole lives have such a hard time defining what a sprint is. The peak velocity in any sprint event is going to ebb and flow depending on the athlete the specific race/day, they're still sprinting. Joseph fanbuellah circa 2021 is going to have a different moment of peak velocity compared to a Christian Coleman.
oh boy did Kerr/Nuguse/Hocker look awful at the GST Kingston 800m.
us scholars in this thread knew Wanyonyi was the only guy up for the 800/1500 double but everyone else can be surprised by the result 😼
This is exactly why I just can't see Arop being a 1500m runner. He is so much more likely to run 44 than he is to run 3:30. Obviously both are ambitious, but I find the former to be more realistic. Arop is a speedy 800 guy.
And yeah, those 1500 main guys got dusted in that 800m. I know times were slow all around, but it feels like half of them just kind of gave up.
Ever see an 800 guy on a 4x1, nope......not a sprint.
ok, so to be clear i am NOT saying 800m guys can run the 4x100, but as a FUN FACT, at 6h3m, you can see Erik Sowinski anchor a 4x100 with 3 sub-10 guys on it.
