I think that was the most relaxed I've ever seen nearly everyone in that 800m.
They all looked like they had at least another 1.5-2 seconds had they really went for it.
Running relaxed is how these guys go fast. Meaning, if they "really go for it", the loss of that free flowing muscle firing could result in loss of velocity.
Rudisha gives great interviews.

Awesome 800m race with Amos the undisputed best this year. Loved Rudisha's tactics though, even if no one took the bait to chase the pace set by his own personal pacemaker Sammy Tangui. Seems every 800m runner wants David to be pacemaker.
Congrats and well deserved by Amos.
Harrison goes down! Mixed feelings when someone who goes from not being able to make US finals in 2013 to World beater in 2014. And looks very end of career flojo-like. That one's gonna leave a mark!
Nice one. Is that her right psoas popping up, or some sort of sports hernia? Or maybe leaning forward to take pic is causing that.
Rupp is doing the opposite of his last 5000. Taking it out easy. 136 for his first 600 - 2nd half of the pack.
1600 split
True - 416
Rupp - 417
Where is Levins?
For the record 64 each lap is 1320.
It's official. No sub 13 for any US runners this year
disappointing pace, true takes it
FAAAAAAACK.
