These 800 heats will be a jogfest with 27 out of 32 qualifying.
Don't quite understand the point of this round with 27/32 going through. Either add more heats and expand the field, or eliminate this round entirely. I prefer the former because 3 round structure matches Worlds.
Did they add another semifinal in the 800 just in the last couple days, so that it's much easier to qualify out of the first round? I could have sworn that when I checked a couple days ago, there were only 2 semis and so far fewer getting through.

Unclear but 32->27 is silly. Just do 24 or better yet 18.
He went from 5th to 2nd.. 2nd fastest time I ever I believe for him
With Josh Hoey trying to front run a 1:41 in the final, if he just makes it to the final he can turn his brain off and just run from the back and trust his kick.
