Keep in mind the 400 is run without a draft since the guys stay in their own lanes. Rudisha ran his 800 PR on the front the entire time, no draft. Symmonds ran his PR while drafting the last 700. Big BIG difference. Has Symmonds ever broken 1:45 leading the entire way?
I'm not knocking Nick for racing smart, but to think he's going to beat Rudisha in a 1500 if Rudisha is serious about it is just asinine.
You seem to know everything.
Or at least a great deal more than you actually do.
