Does anyone think before they make predictions or do they just pick a number that sounds nice?
We all (should) know he doesn't have the 800 speed of wheating, or manzano for that matter.
We all know?
Horsespit!
It is a mystery, as Cento has not run many 800's, nor has he focused on running one at any specific time, for time.
Additionally, Centro has always run his PR's off of racing. Racing to win. Not just being in the race, and getting pulled along without trying to be a factor in the race.
The only possible exception to this was WC's, where he smartly ran for Bronze... He knew he was out classed, and he knew he had had a monstrously long season.
We also don't know how much fitness he lost and how much he's regained.
The way he runs such a measured, paced 1500, I am not even sure it is smart for him to race an 800 at this point.
Jetlag could determine a lot.
It's a mystery.
When fit, he is certainly capable of 1:44.5+
His 1500 times indicate he is in the fitness range of guys who have done his 1500 times and 1:44.'s
I guess I don't have to say I told you so.
PS...just a hunch...were you also one of those geniuses who tried to argue with me that Primm would beat Solomon and Mulder at the trials? Either way, we should all stick to predicting what we know...

Ahhh, finally some direction on these predictions. coach d predicts 1:47point. So, if you want to make some money on Centro's race, pick him for 1:45point. coach d is the most consistently inconsistent one on this board relative to Centro (and pretty much any other subject) and cutting off about 2 seconds will be pretty close to what he will actually do.
Fools like coach d do come in handy sometimes.
Looks like he called it pretty close. The Oregon fan crowd is the biggest group of losers on the internet. They just got put in their place again.
Don't forget that he should be on a heavy training week this week.

Good job!
So who are all these people on here who call us all idiots when we post Centro will only go 1:48 or even 1:50 in this race? They cancel their posts, disappear and slither away. I think 90% of posters are young tough guy kids, scammers and some that just come on here to cause crap because their girlfriend did some other guy. Makes it hard to identify the 10% who are runners for 30 years or coaches and greats that give something to the discussion.

1:48...... but could medal the Olympic final as he's more of a strength runner.
You and jetlag won!

Anyone else notice that Flagpole deleted his own prediction on this thread so that nobody would notice had absurd it was after the results came in?
???
I made no prediction on the 800 and didn't delete any thread.
