We guess the 800 finals in Moscow were pretty special. But this one, which I talk about in another thread, is pretty special.

That was INSANE. With 200 to go, I was thinking, "He loses to 2 or 3 guys." With 100 to go, I was like the whole field is coming by him.
I've never seen someone tie up in a 800 but find another gear.
Great video.
There was a whole thread on this:

The winner split about 48.x-59.x. If he goes out in 52.5 maybe he runs 1:46
Entertaining? Yes. Most entertaining ever? Come on, have some respect for the past, not a chance.
Youth runners?
Yeah right.
Do a close background check and you shall find that they are in their 20's.
So much age cheating going on in Africa.
This is the most entertaining 800 ever run:
It's really sad this city is now a war zone. A year ago World Juniors was there, and now it won't be a remote possibility for probably 20 years or more.
