Brazier who? Max Burgin 1:44.17

1:44? That's cute. Good enough to hype him up before choking again.

It is cute that he beat 1:42 guys here

Absolutely brilliant young runner; absolutely stupid post. Brazier ran 1:43.5 as a junior with more basic speed and is the world champion.

Burgin looks every bit a future 1:42 man but actually becoming number one is a totally different proposition and there's nothing to say either way what he'll be capable of. Similarly, Keely Hodgkinson runs a lot like a younger Ajee Wilson and wouldn't be shocked by her getting down to 1:55 and a national record, but world record territory takes something really freakish.

I could beat Nick Symmonds right now, and he's a 1:42 guy. Beating guys that used to run 1:42 in a 1:44 race before choking in important races is def adorbs.

42-43 on the way for sure. But I'm still gonna say that Amos is the man to beat if he's fit. 2x 1:41 speaks volumes

*googles*

LOL UK

Geezus. Please. As if there are not non-stop posts about certain young "prodigies" about to break the WR.

Burgin is 18, Brazier was 19 when running 1:43. This is Burgin's first race of the year in not ideal conditions. He'll run 1:43 flat this year for sure. This beating of a great field just gave him loads of confidence.

and that's 1:44.14, not 1:44.17 buddy.

He is 19. The same as Brazier was when he ran 1:43 in old spikes.

It's a good time. I need to be convinced that he won't continue to wilt when running in a pack or in big races, though.

He turns 19 tomorrow tomorrow. Doesn't matter. Brazier still bigger talent.

Alright you got me - he turns 19 tomorrow. So there is basically 8 weeks difference in age from when he ran 1:44.1 and Brazier ran 1:43.5.

Gives him two months to drop a little over half second. Based on how easy he ran this it should be no problem. 1:43.3 in the next couple of months. 1:42.7 in Tokyo.

Certainly possible. Or, like last year, he may get slower. If he runs 1:42.7 at Tokyo, I'll eat my words.

He's 18 years old, equal to a HS senior.

Brazier was 19 and actually only 2 months from turning 20 when he went 1:43.5x at Texas A&M.

With age and progression taken in to account, Brazier's pr @ 19yo is not more impressive than Burgin's pr @ 18yo.

In fact taken with Burgin's 17yo pr of 1:45xx ....or his 1:47xx @ 16yo

I'd say Burgin's trajectory is even better than Brazier.

If Hoppel can beat Brazier right now, then Burgin is in the conversation too now.

Of course, it's still Amos who's the actual #1 going into Tokyo.....he ran 1:41xx at 18 yo

timewaste of the day.

18 year old guy returns from injury, runs 144 early season.

comments

he'll choke soon

clean WR holder.

He's a great talent and a dark horse for a medal but Brazier is not under threat here. Burgin has never had to run rounds or experienced a major champs. Let's see how he works out closer to 2024. Hoppel is still the main threat to Brazier. If Adidas get their super spike sorted in time, then Brazier could be in trouble
