    I wonder how many of the top 20 M400H times Edwin Moses would have had at one point. 16? SML probably hasn't run enough W400H races in the last few years to have as many of the top 20 times.

    Good question. That info is available on the World Athletics Stats Zone all-time lists. On this date in 1988, Moses held the top 12 times in the world. He also had #16 and two marks tied for 18, giving him 15 of the top 20. But he didn't stop there. He also had a bunch of times in the 20s and 30s. He had 22 of the top 30 and 27 of the top 40! Super GOAT.

    Nuguse is also 1, 2, 4, and 6 in the mile!

    One of my favorite features of the World Athletics Stats Zone is it lets users look at all-time lists as they stood at a particular point in time. I just went through the lists to see if I could find years since Jim Ryun's era when an American miler/1500 guy dominated the all-time list like Nuguse now. Here are the best examples I found, in chronological order starting with Ryun:

    • 1972: Jim Ryun was 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 9, & 10 in the mile.
    • 1981: Steve Scott was 1, 4, 6, 8, & 10 in the 1500.
    • 1985: Sydney Maree was 1, 2, 5, 6, 9, 10, & 11 in the 1500 (Scott was 3, 4, 7, & 8).
    • 1986: Steve Scott was 1, 2, 3, 6, 8, 9, & 10 in the mile (Maree was 4, 5, 7, & 11).
    • 1997: Steve Holman was 4, 5, 8, 9, & 11 in the 1500.
    • 2006: Bernard Lagat was 1, 2, 4, 6, 7, & 9 in the 1500.

    Updating this after Nuguse’s world record at Millrose. In the indoor mile, Nuguse now has the 1st, 4th, and 7th fastest times on the *world* all-time list! In the U.S., he’s now 1, 3, and 4 indoors .
