The men's 800 final isn't until Sunday, but they don't even need to run the race - Nick Symmonds is a lock to win it, we might as well declare him the winner now.
The most logical question is - how many Olympic and World Championship gold medals will he earn before his career is over?
I think he'll get 4 World golds and maybe 2 Olympic golds in the 800 before he moves up to the 1500 and 5000 and earns another 2 medals in each.
The dude isn't even close to Kenah or Krum's fastest times. They were lucky to win anything at the world stage. But then again the 800m is a slow event these days. 1:43 gives a good chance to win nowadays.

Last time I checked Khadevis can go sub-1:44 in a Championship final. Has Symmonds even broken 1:44? Not counting him out yet but don't forget who dominated the year before in elite fashion.
JINX!

That's it? I think you're seriously underestimating Symmonds.
Psssshhhhhh, seriously underestimating Symmonds. He's so good that not only is he going to dominate track and field but also life itself. He's a lock for best selling books, CEO corporation, nobel prize, and being the first person on mars insn't out of the question if he could just lower his PR by that tiny bit...
