Is that the fastest ever 200m split in a 1500m race ?
Race was (very) slow and tactical, but the winner split 23 seconds from 1200-1400 and 24 seconds from 1300-1500 easing up on the final 100.

Do you have a link to the results? That doesnt sound right at all. Even off of a super pedestrian pace there is no shot they closed in 47-48. That would be a full 2+ seconds faster than the fastest 1500 close ever.
According to OP, the 1200-1400 was 23 and the 1300-1500 was 24. 1300-1400 is overlapped in both distances. so really it implies a ~36 final 300, which is a little more believable than a 47/48 final 400.
This post was removed.
So here are the results I found for the race from Race Results Weekly.
1500m:
Final (27):
1. Robert Farken, SC DHfK Leipzig, 1997, 3:50.70
2. Mohamed Mohumed, LG Olympia Dortmund, 1999, 3:52.34
3. Lukas Abele, SSC Hanau-Rodenbach, 1997, 3:53.78
4. Tim Assmann, TV Villingen, 2000, 3:53.98
5. Marco Sietmann, LG Brillux Münster, 2002, 3:56.27
6. Tim Kalies, Braunschweiger Laufclub, 2004, 3:56.77
7. Constantin Feist, LG Olympia Dortmund, 1999, 3:57.08
I then did a little research and have found race video!!!
He indeed did run a 23.63 from 1200 to 1400. His final 300 was 35.82. I had his final 400 in an unofficial 51.6-7 - the final 200 was 24.92.
If you want to see more of the race, I think you can find it below (The poster above found it but I moved it here as my video links to the end of the race directly. As I was typing, they were posting as well).HermenTheGermen wrote:

Not sure what the fastest 200 ever is but it's definitely not the fastest 400 ever. Ryun supposedly closed in 49 in Germany once.
Centrowitz closed in 50.6 to win in Rio.
Probably worth noting that Abel Kipsang absolutely smoked Farken and Mechaal in a 1500 in Birmingham a couple weeks back

Homie has the smoothest, most ideal running form ever for a 1500 guy. Thanks for the links.
Don't let Coevett or rekrunner or Deanouk see this as 1) they won't believe it; 2) they will list some advantage; 3) they will state timing error; 4) they will say it was a slow race
The guy is a farken beast...

36.82
Is it just not possible to give some correct numbers?
I usually avoid equating a kick in a 1500m race with 800m performance, but I will make an exception. R. Farken has a sub-1:45 outdoor 800m in him.
That was insane.

Sweet sassy molassy!
Oh that makes way more sense, I just read that wrong.

Deano was way off on his splits for Brazier’s 1500m close and ever since then I’ve disregarded his historical “splits” as tainted.
At Penn Relays in 2015 (maybe 2016?) Jordy Williamsz closed the last 200m in 22-high (can’t remember the exact split off the top of my head). Technically not a 1500m, though his last 1500m was a 4:00 or something like that.

For this one, I can definitively say you are looking at the wrong mark for his close. It's a weird track, but the correct spot is about 15 meters back. He ran more like 24-mid.
Just watched the vid. You guys find that impressive? A slow flying 200 at the end of a slow 1500?
Jeilan’s last lap when he won that 10,000m, now that was much better.
This? In all honesty, meh. Maybe I just don’t understand
