it is very hard to work out his line as his over-distance is rubbish ( ? 7'42pb years back )
his brace of 1'43.1s were nonsense as he ran them like a 1500 guy running his 1st ever 800 with split of 51+ in both - good for high-1'42 if he'd run it hard with a low-50 split & use his tremendous 1500 ability to hang on
his 1500 today has gotta be worth ~ ? 3'27.00 - 3'27.25 at even-pace
( ridiculous 53-flat he went thru !!!
& kicked before the bell !! )
his 400 is just this 48+ during training at iten on scuffy looking ancient dirt track

i'd start withs very wide prelims of maybe
46.9 / 1'42.50 -> 2'11.63 , 3'26.98 , 7'26.59
47.0 / 1'42.60 -> 2'11.71 , 3'27.00 , 7'26.25
( ignore the 3k as he's a 1500/800 guy & unlikely to crack 7'30 off it )
i do think he shoud be able to run mid-1'42 currently if he really does attack an 800 properly with a low-50 start
i actually don't think he's significantly any better than in his 3'28.8pb last year when he finished with ? 53
