Mo Attaoui is getting the 800m WR tomorrow

What are you smoking? Absurd prediction.

Indeed, they will both break the 100 second barrier. Roger Bannister will be proud.

I don't know about the WR but he looked great in that semi. He ran a well-paced race, was way back, and came on like a locomotive train the last 150 meters.

Does it matter? Who isn't? Do you have proof? What difference does it make to us as fans and spectators?

Go juice yourself into oblivion, run 1:39 and post a video for us to watch.

No its not what you think of every poster.
They never post about the runners they are focused on.

You're sick.

Arop will sit on Wangyoni and time his kick better this year than the Olympics, winning by 0.01 this time…

You will see tomorrow CoeVett spaming LRC boards with harsh boasts (and bashing people) of all sorts of names if one of his "baby" medal. Be ready.

Sick are people who always complain about stuff they don't know about nor understand.

I.E. you - see a fast brown athlete and instantly proclaim them as cheaters. THAT is sick.

THE ONLY THING you achieve is rob yourself, and more importantly, others of joy and enjoyment of athletics.

We are gonna see the first sub 1:40 800 metres tomorrow night.

Here are the 5 second breakthroughs in athletics history for the 800 metres and its 880 yard equivalants. As you can see, we are overdue!

2.04.0y - Wiliam Way (GBR) - Oxford - 1859/11/25

1.59.8y - Arthur Pelham (GBR) - Cambridge - 1873/03/26

1.54.6y - Francis Cross (GBR) - Oxford - 1888/03/09

1:49.8 - Tommy Hampson (GBR) - Los Angeles - 1932/08/02

1:44.3 - Peter Snell (NZL) - Christchurch - 1962-02-03

1:39.94 - Emmanuel Wanyonyi (KEN) - Tokyo - 2025/09/19

I was shocked by how slowly Attaoui started. He appeared to be trying to keep up but just lacked the acceleration to do it. He lacks the great speed to break 1:41, it seems. He is an even or negative split runner; his 2:12 1k shows that he has outstanding endurance for an 800m guy. I'd think he could also hammer the 1500m right now.

Turns out Attaoui has only a 48.80 400m pr from 2022. Also, he had run 3:36 1500m a few years, but this year ran 3:32 in a 3:31.5 race won by Pihlstrom. That is solid but not wr-threatening. Surely he would go faster in a quicker race.

(Wrong thread. Edited)

I'm also to know what can do a runner like Attaoui in the 1500m after his last 1000m performance.

If the 800 slows down a tint bit and bunches up, it's anybody's race. Highly doubt we see a WR. Arop can't maneuver in a tight pack but he could launch one from 300m out and pray. Sedjati always has the 90s rocket fuel speed over the home stretch. Attoui looked great. Positioning is going to be the name of the game.

No WR for Attaoui tomorrow.

However, I think Wanyoni will make it a 1:41 race because of Attaoui's finishing kick today.

The 3 medals will go between 6 men: Wanyoni, Arop, Sedjati, Attaoui, McPhillips, Burgin.

Wanyonyi FTW, Arop 2nd again, then one of the other 4 for bronze.

Mo Attaoui has about as much chance of getting the 800m WR as Azeddine Habz did of getting the 1500m WR.

And I’ll leave it at that, moran.

Wanyonyi didn't look strong this year as the last year.

Arop case was even worse this whole season.

A miracle should happen if they repeat the scenario of the Olympic finale.

My tosse
1. Wanyonyi (70% chance but he need to be in his game A)

2. Attaoui, Burgin

3. Arop, Sedjati

conveniently leaving out that earlier this month he just went 3rd AT at 1000m - 2:12.25, quicker than Cram, Makhloufi, Lagat, Arop, Morcelli etc and now behind only Coe (2:12.18) & Ngeny (2:11.96)
