Why didn't that rabbit finish?? He looked fine at 800m!!

1000m was ~3 sec off WR. Not surprised since they came through 200 in 24.56. 800 was 1:48 and change, putting last 200 ~31 sec.

Sorry ~29 sec for last 200.
I think Abubaker Kaki might be on track to set a career WR in failed WR attempts.
I bet he'll get it eventually. The thing is though he doesn't have to announce every time he wants the World Record. Every major 800m outdoors always is paced to the very minimum a sub 50 400m, but that doesn't mean every 800m run is a world record attempt. He could just always have 1000's paced to 1:46-1:48 but that doesn't always mean it will be a world record attempt just because the pace-setter goes that fast. Every single diamond league 800m isn't a world record attempt even though the pace-setter goes through sub 50 and the athletes follow
Pretty please upload and post race videos of the IAAF Indoor Permit Meeting XL Galan in Stockholm today. Links to race videos much appreciated.
Thank you so much!
They went out way too quickly. Should have gone through 400 in at least 53 and preferably 54. It seems he could have gotten or been near the wr in this race if the pacing was right

I doubt it. I just don't think he's good enough to break Kip's WR at the moment. Anyone who can only manage a last 200m of 29.2 in a 2:17 isn't going to run 2:14, whatever the pace.
Yes, the first rabbit went off too fast, but there was another one drafting Kaki, and his splits weren't that fast.
I had Kaki at c. 25.2 for 200m (yes, too fast), 52.2 for 400m (maybe half a second off optimum), 1:20.3 for 600m (about spot on for this indoor record) then 1:48.43. He should have been able to run a 27 off this, but was outside 29 flat!
25.2, 27.0, 28.1, 28.1, 29.2.

Are you an F'tard? Why should he have been able to run a 27 off of a pace too fast? Going out in 52, and him "should" being able to close in a 27 to finish in 2:15? Um, no. That's basically saying if he ran the correct pace, he should have broken the WR. Why is that a "should"?
And "whatever teh pace"? Again are you an f'tard? Do you not know how these races work?

No, but you are clearly an idiot.
Anyone with pretensions of running 2:14 should be able to go through 800 in 1:48 and hang on for 27.**, meaning they would still miss the WR, even if the early pace was too fast; which when compared to Kipketer's corresponding splits in his WR, were not.
Kipketer went through 200m in 25.3 (only 0.1 difference) & 400m in 50.9 (over a second faster than Kaki), which was too fast. He went through 600 in 1:17.8 (26.9); now 2.5 secs up on Kaki's split that you consider too fast!
Kipketer then slowed to 28.5 (1:46.3) & finally 28.7; still faster than Kaki's last 200m off much slower initial 400 and 600 splits.
I think I know how these races work a bit better than someone who thinks 52.2 and 1:20.3 are too fast for someone claiming to be trying to run 2:14.
+1
Sometimes you can't win bro (assuming male). Yes to me it is common sense and also physics/science that you use the least amount of energy running a consistent pace. Therefore it makes perfect that someone who wants to break the wr and goes out way to fast is at 2:17 which is still only 2 or so seconds off the world record. That shows me he is definitely in shape to get close to it or get it if the pacing is perfect.
Ok I'm starting it out with the 1500m women's video I just found at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFqekZpIRUo and 3000 men http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pySzK5mODO8
Sorry those videos aren't really worth your time
