You don't normally see someone talking so big after finishing 5th, and that was just in his heat. Two guys ran faster in the other heat.

PS. I've started another thread about Wanyoni. Is the the favorite for Worlds? 17 year old is LEGIT.

LetsRun.com Forum Thread

Kenya's 17-yr old sensation Emmanuel Wanyoni wins his European debut in 1:44.15. Might he be a player at Worlds?

rojo05/31/2022 11:57pm EDT1 year ago

The kid is unreal. Won World jrs last year, undefeated this year. This is the #2 time in the world this year and he beat the Doha winner Noah Kibet who also won world indoor silver this year (as well as bronze at World Jrs la...

re: rojo

I've always liked Nijel Amos. But there's no brushing over the fact that:

1. He ran his PB as an 18-year-old. He will not be attacking the WR like many had projected.

2. He's blown multiple chances over the years to become a global champion. Hard to believe that the kid who finished a strong second in the greatest 800m race ever run has only won the Commonwealth Games gold in the 10 years since. Granted, bad luck played its part, but I really believe Tokyo was his last chance.

re: rojo

He will drop a big time in a DL race before Worlds, then will fail to qualify for the finals.

re: Botswana Lingo

Bit brazen if you ask me - putting a rocket emoji with fuel flying out of it, while stating it's going to be a 'hot summer'...after a miserable 1:44.9 and 5th place. Guess he'll be supercharged for Rome in 7 days time and will run 1:41, then pull out of his next race or pull up with a 'hamstring injury' after 10 meters.

Max Burgin running in 1'44" is far more news tha Amos' debut, after the winner of course

This is very true. The lad has had zero racing for exactly 12 months. He had one race last year (the same Ostrava meet), just 3 races in 2020, and 5 races in 2019. So he's hardly raced since he was 16 four years ago, and yet runs 1:44.5 on his return still only 20, despite almost being sent flying in the first 100m and going with the pacer alone at sub 50 seconds. If he stays injury free he'll surely establish himself as the best in Europe this season, at age 20.

Covett turning Burgin into the new Kyle Langford. Jinxed from the start.

El K turning Wyonyi into the new George Manangoi/Edward Zakayo. Jinxed from the start to compare him to those other two Kenyan 30 year old 'teen sensations'.

re: rojo

Olympic silver, Commonwealth gold, National record....not too shabby of a career if the accolades end there. I'm sure Burgin would be happy to end up with those credentials.
