Elite 800m, some will I'm sure just depends on their background. It's a mixed bag at the 800. But the 800 is hardly 'distance' like the OP says.
Don't mention the 1500m. Farah is 9th All Time. You just saw him be obliterated by an 11.5.
In front of him are Iguider (endurance) Morceli (endurance) Lagat (endurance) El G (endurance).
The guys that could even begin to not embarrass themselves over 100m will be 800m guys that also run the 15, like Coe.
Case closed move on. If you lot still have something to say just watch the 3:28 man run a 12.9 flailing his skinny limbs about another 10 times or so and then remember that 3:28 is 56.5 400m pace (not fast).
