1:26.80 at 600 so 30.91. I say credit to her for going for something special, particularly since she must’ve known she could win after seeing Moraa’s form last week.
Ferdinand Omanyala beats Jacobs…who says Kenyans don’t show up for indoors?
I think that was me, but I was referring to their distance guys since Mr Ndiku.
I also think she needs a bit more even pace 57 - 58.x
Almost all of her best performances have come when she's split 58 for the first lap. She's total class, but she looks like she's trying to run someone else's race when she goes out in 56
World Athletics sells the rights but maybe we should bid on them. If they are bidding a ton of money great. But it not, let's open it up.
I was thinking the same. How much money does FloTrack pay them? Not that long ago it was on the cable station Bein. No more. A few commercials should pay for the cost. Its limiting the audience.
Oh I get it 100%, but going out too fast is not how you PB in the 800.
No, but indoors you also don't want to have two people between you and the pacer who you'll have to navigate your way around while you're trying do your fastest ever run.
But it's a race, so of course you can't expect your competitors to care about that.
Hodgkinson's current British indoor record was actually run off an even 58.6 / 58.6 split.
I watch Belgian race mountain bikes on beaches, live, on YouTube, and STILL have to fark around picking VPN countries to watch An Important Track Meet.
Not to mention everyone who isn't there, and how boring the meet is.
And you wonder why nobody cares about running any more.

The worst part is we got Jenny Meadows who is in her camp and there seems to be no self-awareness about it on the commentary. She’s talking about Keely struggling the last 300 and thinking it’s due to lack of competition and not just running her ideal strategy for her attributes.
She wasn't concerned about winning the race. She wanted to set a new British record.

Last week she ran more conservatively and was disappointed. This week she committed to running aggressively, and 56-high isn’t crazy for someone with a 1:55 outdoor PR…now, she was probably more like ~56.4, and could have run faster off 57.4, but it’s infinitely easier for us to sit back and say what are the ideal 800 splits to run super fast versus having to go out and do it, don’t forget that.

I think Moraa was the real danger. Yarigo I guess you’re implying but she didn’t look quite up for it. Going by 1 is OK indoors.
This is so lame, American Fisher may be going for record and as a fan in the USA I can't watch it without VPN or flotrack, so dumb.
If you were an actual fan, you would be paying for Flotrack instead of complaining about it. Track "fans" are the worst, they cry about it not being on TV but do nothing to show the actual people that make the decisions, that it's popular enough to warrant being on TV.

Her outdoor PB is 1:55.88, and it’s more the first lap that was the issue. She went out sprinting. I agree it’s easier said than done but to me she’s keying too much off Moraa in any case.
