Wanyoni, however, is good value in the 800m. Giving 4 times more return than Sedjati, who in my view, is only slight favourite.

Sedjati has shown zero tactics and has just outrun everyone in lane 2 through sheer PED usage willpower and fitness. I haven't watched Wanyoni race much, but it's hard to imagine many people being tactically worse than Sedjati who runs in lane 2 the whole time. If it gets rough and tumble, I think a few people have very good odds. Hoppel is definitely one of the best tacticians in the field. Arop's big stride makes him more prone to tangling up with others, but he's also got the most mass and can "bully" others, and if it comes down to a slow pace and a kick, the man I'd be most afraid of is Marco barrelling down the home stretch, assuming he gets a clean run.

Maybe I'll eat my words, but I think guys like Tuall, who have run very fast times but don't have much experience with being at the top of the sport, don't have the best chances. I wouldn't be surprised if some of these newly minted 1:41/1:42 low guys don't make it out of the semis.

I won't take any of these odds too seriously until I watch the rounds and semis. For last years world champs they didn't adjust the odds after the rounds or semis even though Arop was clearly a man among children, obvious and easy money was won.
