I was in Laaparanta, Finland when my first son was born, 2 weeks early. 20 miles from then then Soviet border. Took me 2 1/2 days to get home - and I left at 2am in the morning. Our son was "boy Spivey" for about 2 days, and they kept coming back to my wife and asked her if she had named the baby yet. She was trying to wait for me, but I flew from Helsinki to Stockholm, to London, to Glasgow and then to Chiocago. My wife was the one who named him Sebastian. Have to admit, we both had thought of the name when she was expecting.
For Abdi's race, I timed it while watching TV. Best I can do.

Thanks for answering my questions!
I hope your failure to answer this poster Jim, doesn't mean you're keeping quiet because you do suspect!?
Thanks for that, Jim. You're contributions are invaluable when you weigh in on a subject. I wish more former elites would follow your example. Thanks again.

Actually EL Guerrouj hasn't "officially" beaten any of those 800m times, with a personal best of 1:47.
So you're wrong.
El guerrouj ran low 143 in a workout
so actually you're wrong
next please
and next for the idiot that was wrong

Lol!
No evidence to corroborate a "paced time trial"
I'm certain he was capable of a lot faster than his official pb, but even if he did run 1:43 in training, that's not the same as 1:43 in an Olympic arena, when it represents your 4th race in 4 days.
Really? At which event did El Gerrouj double in the 800m and 1500M? Notice he said best SERIES of races.
