A lot of the posters don't realize that you don't need to run huge positive splits in the 1500m to be successful.

nick symmonds is a 1500 runner! i've been saying this forever. doesn't have enough speed for the 800.
yeah, if you can only run 1:42 and win 5 US champs in a row you're definitely not an 800 guy.

Symmonds said in an interview that he believes he will be the best miler in the 800 final. I really doubt that this will be true. There is a very good chance that Makloufi and Kaki will be in that final. Both are more proven milers than Symmonds.
I think you misheard the quote. I hear "I'm probably one of the faster 1500 guys in the final every year."
