Yeah…Arop and Korir are incredible to watch, and Sedjati is completely smooth. Should be fun to see how far these guys dip down as the season progresses.
Yeah and everyone else has access to unlimited EPO's as well. Its like baseball back in the 90's with Barry Bonds. Sure, he was cheating, but so was everyone else and he was still the best. Don't hate the player hate the game

I only liked Sedjati out of these. Others are horrible to watch
Korir has weird head bobbing and aside from that is his form that bad? Good to see Kenya getting some medals on the penultimate day with Korir and then Chebet in the women’s 5000 m. I felt bad for McColgan in the women’s 5000 m. She had her big day in the Ethiopian trials in Hengelo, Holland, a few weeks ago when she went 3019. Did she arrive over cooked at these championships? I felt sad for Sifan Hassan in the 5000 m because I thought when the last lap bell rang that she would definitely get a medal but she came short in the final straight.

Ghost it’s been misfortune after misfortune for her I’ve heard. Illness than a hamstring injury. It’s a shame, but her destiny is the roads I think.
Korir’s form is actually quite good minus the head bob in the kick. You can see how he manages a sub-45 400 even with a subpar start.
Ghost. I knew your enthusiasm for Moula in the 800 was misplaced but didn't want to say anything. He can kick off a 1:45 pace, but the final was always going to be faster with Arop taking it out.
It’s unclear but from his last mixed zone interview it sounds like he’ll have a new sponsor soon.
Puma seems like a good bet. I thought his form was nice--smooth, still & relaxed on the rail through 500, then a well-measured drive for home. Beautiful, little wasted energy, and the head-bobbing just made me compare his rotational pattern to Gammouddi's!

If I’m not mistaken, THOUGHTSLEADER used “no form at all” in the thread title to mean, “Without prior races this season to indicate he was ready to win gold,” and that has led to some confusion.

Of course but you see your IQ is well above 100. Those other posters IQs are not. However, the reason I picked Korir to win is that 44.87 he ran in June 24. I knew he cannot do that without training. So to me he had shown some form.
Emmanuel Korir has poked a finger in the eye to those who say constantly 800m races cannot be split evenly or 800m cannot be negatively split. Emmanuel Korir won Olympic 800m gold eleven months racing his 2nd 400m faster than his 1st 400m. Today, Emmanuel Korir again raced second 400m faster than his 1st 400m.
