nonsense
no evidence of running start
at 8' in you can see small red cone at start & maloofi's L foot in shot in lane 2
maloofi already run 3.526m extra !!!
maloofi started from rest at 800
correction
maloofi started in lane 2 from standing start & quickly moved into lane 1
likely 10 - 20cm extra distance
however, some outside shots later on from bike, so his drafting is little
this reminds me of ludlow who ran 1'57+tt before peking but failed badly in prelims
she looked awesomely strong that workout, probably unrested, so likely a 1'56 talent if fully rested
she didn't crack 2'00 in peking & failed badly when she had as much, much more talent than bishop
maloofi, even with 1500 big gold is poor in 800s, not taking any control from gun & losing race from start
you can't start with 25++s & expect to win fast races even moreso when running 2m+ on 1st bend & maybe another 5m on last 2
the guys ahead are too damn quick & never come back enough...
