http://www.iaaf.org/records/toplists/middle-long/800-metres/outdoor/men/senior/2016The 800 in Kenya trials is going to be incredible !!!
Rudisha will have to be in top shape at their trials as it's possible upto 1/2 dozen guys coud be in sea-level 1'42+ shape in 3 months or so...
( Rudy + the top 2 here, add in ferguson, kitum & possibly some 1500 guys dropping down to 800 + always some improving 800 guys as we have nearly 3 months to go !!! )
This really is the greatest season i can ever remember for depth in kenyan athletics & these marks were done before May !!!
The guys are on absolute fire !!!
