We have a new player in the 800!
And a new great white hope!!!
i have promulgated coupla theories for long time that
- 800pbs for lotta elites are p!ss-weak as most all 1'43pb guys don't attack 400 - 600
you gotta shoot for 76-flat to chase 1'42+
still, bosse's drop from 1'43.7 to 1'42.5 was mild surprise
- talent pool of 800 is much inferior to 1500
tables based only on maths
( no stats lists comparison/physiology/etc - just maths worth of numbers )
indicate
1'44.00 = 3'32.00
1'43.50 = 3'31.06
1'43.00 = 3'30.13
1'42.93 = 3'30.00
...
1'42.75 = 3'29.66
1'42.50 = 3'29.19
1'42.25 = 3'28.72
1'42.00 = 3'28.25
800 needs better talent & that talent has to run better race
