During the later part of indoor season Josh's coach confidently said he could run 1:41 outdoors right now. It's time to see how close his coaches prediction is in a few hours. Josh is a front runner and with Arop in the field there is no reason Josh shouldn't run extremely fast.
Who do you predict to place in the top three 800m and their times?
The only thing that gives me pause is it being his season opener. It he picks up where he left off in indoor, we could see something special. Or this might turn into a rust buster.
I think where he's going to turn the most heads is coming back for the 1500. I can't quite shake that Josh out kicking Grant in indoors in a 1500 was the start of something.
I feel like Hobbs took people by surprise last year showing up as a dual threat by dropping down to the 800m. This might be the year we're watching Josh put in a real good double at US champs this year.
If only DMRs, 4x800s and 4xmile were a thing at an international level, US would be killing it right now.
I'm loving the buzz GST is stirring up on the message boards this morning!
Oh yeah, I'm going Marco, Josh, and Hobbs for 1,2,3 in the 800 and Marco, Hobbs, and Josh for the overall slam. The 1500m specialists will be fighting for points at the bottom in the 800, and I think the 800 guys are gonna make some waves in the 1500.

So this is the acid test of that statement? Grand Slam track Philly with no pacers, no wavelight? Does he get a chance maybe in a months time in Monaco? Maybe Zurich or Brussels later in the year?
I would expect this race to be similar to Miami - in the mid to high 1.43's at best. They are trying to win this race expending the least amount of energy - they are running a 1500m almost exactly 24 hours later which actually changes the dynamic of the race even compared to Miami where the 800m was the second event.
Arop, Hoey, Kessler top 3 in that order. Winning time 1.43.91

He said that close to a championships, it doesn't mean he will be in 1:41 shape in the middle of the outdoor season when USAs is in 2 months. But let's see

I would think that Arop is the most guilty of doping - and also still feel he’s got to be careful about peaking too early, although the chemists got it right for him in Paris - the massive jump in exhibited ability between Monaco and Paris was amazing, his tactics cost him the gold.

Yeah, he’s too friendly to dope, surSi
So regarding the five guys who ran 1:41 last year, I personally only feel 2 are possibly clean. Wanyonyi and Hoppel and of the 10 fastest of 2024 it's sad 😳 but I feel half them dope, which is terrible to feel concerning the sport I love.
