Not the best positioning. Running extra distance

If that's right, it makes him a danger. He's got a race under his belt and not many in the field are capable of a 2:23 final km. Gold might be tough but there's medal potential there imo

Solid 1:56.86 for Odira not too shabby

Odira very impressive.

Werro through too.

Jess Hull AR 1:57:15, she'll go through with that.

Not sure why Hull gave up so much ground off the start

Nice Sage

that might do it. Of 1:57.6 doesn’t make the final that’s brutal

Great run by Hull, pretty sure to advance with small q.

Great kick by Sage. Hopefully she makes it through

That was awesome from Sage. May snag 2nd little q

800m runner on strength not speed.

She needs to build into her running when the pace is fast.

Werro looked quite labored there imo. Sage did just about everything she could to make the final, hopefully the time stands.

Really good run from SHK. 1:57.62 SB and closed well to finish 4th and give herself a decent chance of making the final.

W 800 heat 2 sneakily one of the most impressive races of the meet

lol sure didn't hurt her. Oceanian record

Yeah we saw the same thing in every grand slam 800 she was in.

I think she only has so much leg speed to she runs more even pace for first lap. Seems to do it every 800.

1:57.62 may look safe but must remember Brazier and 1:43.8 yst

By nature of making the final with either a 224 final k or a 225-6 final k in a much faster race, I suspect a dozen or more of the other 15 are in fact capable of a 223 in that situation

I'd rather Kipyegon did 800m than 5km.

Especially seeing that Jess Hull time.

Keely v Kipyegon would be a great battle.
