nick symmonds 1:44 flat 800m split

Mo Aman 1:45-high??? And Lagat with his slowest mile ever.

REspect as well to KD 1.44.9

Lagat looked old for the first time

no he didn't. He just had to lead the whole race for one.

Don't worry, Lagat will go through his EPO cycle in time for the trials and outkick the 20 year olds again

Damn that is a good split, what was his final time?

Symmonds 1:44 and Robinson 1:44.9 - there are your first 2 spots on the USA olympic team for 800m.

And for the second year in a row it will take a sub-1.44 time to win the U.S. Championships in the men's 800.

As it should . . . as it will take at least that to medal at the olympics.

I'd be more comfortable saying "it will take a runner in sub-1:44 shape" as who knows what tactics might do to the times.

On second thought if Jock is in the field maybe they'll get out and run 1:43

From Nick's twitter feed:

"I was told that my official 800m split was 1:43.90."

True. Once he was let off so as not to tarnish the image of a poor, third world nation, officials were forced into letting the ruse continue.

Wow, thats impressive!

It was crazy cause Symmonds ran so fast, he made KD's split look slow when in fact it was still great. I hear 1:43.9 in the stadium for Symmonds

Webb is still faster

No--Webb was faster.

whether your going by all-time bests or current shape, Symmonds is faster.

Great.

Just...........Great!

Why was he wearing adidas spikes? New sponsor?
