My God. The the greatest teen phenom our sport has every seen. Cooper MF Lutkenhaus 1:42.70 FTW in Stockholm!!

Holy crap,

first ever diamond league and he gets to win in fashion. that’s something you never see, I kind of thought he would run fast, but didn’t think you’d win.

Bravo.

Masterclass.

My God it's a joy to watch that guy run.

Incredible positioning throughout. Never ran wider than he needed to, stayed smooth. Excellent race.

Undefeated at 800m since he got the Letsrun flag at world xc

The kid is so easy to root for

He will go 1:41 low this year

I'm not american but I want to see him winning again and again until the end of times

....

I did think he had a SLIGHT chance to win but felt Arop was the favorite, WoW. Cooper won by almost a 1/2 second in a Diamond League meet. I'm not saying he will stay undefeated but he showing he is the REAL DEAL. I can't wait to see how much faster he runs in the next couple years, yeah you know what I mean...the AR is within his grasp this year. What can he do in 1-2 more years❓

He ran more distance than anyone else in that race (806.4m) so he basically ran 1:41.8 pace. He also went through in 50.9 and came back in 51.8 so damn near even splits. He's well into 1:41 shape right now.

How do u know he ran 806.4m?

Some awesome graphs and data

That’s quite fast, but I think the AR is in danger. The kid is poised and stronger than last year.

As long as we can all agree that he’s not capable of better than 21.8 FAT over the 200 though😂🤦‍♂️

Probably on here

LET'S GO BIG TEX YESSIR

there is a graphical race analysis released with the race results.

A 17-year-old running 1:42 is rewriting what we thought was possible in the 800m. He’s beating Olympic medalists, global finalists, seasoned professionals, former drug cheats, current athletes under constant scrutiny, and countless clean athletes who have devoted their lives to the sport. Whether you believe it or not, it’s a performance that deserves serious scrutiny, not blind acceptance. It’s hard to wrap your head around in more ways than one, but what can you really say?

CL is a class act. No taunting!

Good example to others. Let your running talk for you.
