What are you talking about? 6 of the 8 women in the 800 ran a PB by about 1 second each, and another 1 ran an SB. 2 teens ran 1:55 to set national records. That race was FAST!
A FAST race can be believable, like if someone told you the result of the race beforehand you wouldn't be astounded like Jacobs winning the 100 or Warholm running 45.94. I saw multiple people on here legitimately predicting that Mu would run a 1:54 to crush the field. The results of the women's 800m would sound reasonable to someone before the race. If someone predicted a 45.94 before the men's 400mH everyone would call them crazy.
The result of the women's 800 was amazing but not 45.94/46.17/46.72 holy sh!t what the f*ck happened?
Silver medalist Keely Hodgkinson and her "What the f##k!?!?" would disagree.
No, the women's 800 wasn't as incredible as the men's 400h. But the point is that there are too many really fast times on this track for it to be a coincidence.
