Another fantastic close for Sedjati. Wightman a bit of a clunker: squeezed backward on the break and then running wide the whole race to try to get back into position

I think Sedjati might have closed the gap to Arop and Wanyonyi. Not a clean race but destroyed everyone the last 100
I think so, but the concern is he’s going to leave himself a lot of work to do the last 150. He’s going to be giving ground to Arop and Wanyonyi who are pretty dang good at that last 100, too.
Exactly what I thought seeing him separate from the field. Didn’t look natural at all.
He ran 12.9/12.9 for the last 100m splits in an 800m. It’s really not so crazy. We are just basing off of underwhelming last 100s from Bryce (13.5) and really rough from Pattison (14.0)

I used to race and have watched guys in the 800m for a long time now, and I've seen a lot of stuff. I'll you right now - the guys that can "out muscle" the fatigue of the final 80m of an 800m like that - no chance.
Something, something, being the most obvious something of all time.
Ingebrigtsen was only 0.14s away from losing last year's 5000 gold to the previous thread's subject. Imagine what a travesty that would've been. Not that I take Grijalva losing his bronze lightly either.

Hoppel at LA ran 1:43.6 coming through in about 1:17.4/1:30.5(13.1)/1:43.6(13.1). Sedjati is obviously in sick shape, but this was a step down in performance from Bryce that accentuated it. He should be closing in low 13s in this sort of race.
