Most world-class 800 runners could probably break 12, some of the heavy endurance-based ones like Symmonds might not.
Last year it argued by some that Farah could not sprint sub 12 FAT...because he lacks the necessary power- to- weight ratio. I found that hard believe, but perhaps he could not?
Now, some are arguing that Rudisha can't go sub 12 FAT! Come on, the guy has 45.xx 400 speed. Sub 12 is good for HS and is certainly within the range of MD guy with 1:40.9 and 45.x speed. Does anyone really believe he can't do 200 repeats at 23.x? If he can do that, sub 12 is not a big deal.
