Don't worry, Brazier will run faster than Korir in the end. Korir is older than Boris Berian by a year or two. The usual suspects to choose to ignore this.

Kipketer allegedly split 52.3/50.5 in a 1:42.8 in Monaco 97
Who started that bs story about Kipketer? Calculo? Reverse his splits and you have what he really ran.

IAAF doesn't even list his age, so the Kenyan Federation will claim he's 18. Or maybe they'll do the same thing they did with Ereng and claim he's 21. Then like Ereng he'll taper off because he's really 29 as Ereng was in Seoul. : o
Well, he's certainly no teen like Berian was. And he's definitely older than the USA's top three good 800 men:

He's great. And he'll burn out quick. He's maybe a couple of years younger than Rudisha. He'll be gone many years before Brazier even thinks about retiring to spend more time at home with the wife and kids.

I dunno, man. Looks young enough to me. From just those pics, I could believe he's anywhere from 18-25.
Just stop with the stuff about his age, most Kenyans born after the 70s have birth certificates and virtually all born in the nineties know the exact day they were born. If someone decides to deliberately mislead, that's something else. But there would be school records and authenticated national documents required for him to get into uni in the US.
The fact is, we have here a young US-trained talent that likely has reached his full potential unlike his American peers.

Don't forget Rudisha's 1:43.35 from just last year ...

Douglas Burke ... Anybody: Do we have the UTEP 400m split for either Manny Korrir or Michael Saruni?
- Surprised that they ran a 3:14 w/strong 400m performances by 4 of their athletes last week at UTEP.

Much easier for him to make the 400m team. He's ranked #1 in the 400m.
- Absoultely!
Where were you when I needed you last week? Hopefully, someone looks into a potential conflict of interest! :

Rudisha gets a by to the worlds but still, making the Kenyan team with Rotich, Kipketer, Kitilit, Kipkoech, Bett, Tarbei and whichever new kids decide to break out this year, would be a tough ask.

- That's what we're saying .... UTEP Coach Laaksonen has a serious decision point before moving into Conference USA finals ... is Manny a sprinter or middle distance runner? He'll be taking heat from Coach Ereng on keeping him at 800 since that's what he was recruited for ... way more opportuntiy for points in 200/400 & relays. Coach Laaksonen is in a "What's best for team versus Manny verus Ereng?"

1:43.73 2nd place was 1:51 the leader was 52.3 at 400, Korir about 52.6 (estimate) at 400, so negative split.
52.6 / 51.1 or 1.5s -ve split
formula i use to convert to 2s +ve split assuming even pace both laps is :
( 2nd lap - 1st - 2 ) * ( 1/3 )
-> ( - 1.5 - 2 ) * ( 1/3 ) = - 1.2s
his run with 2s + ve splits woud -> 1'43.7 - 1.2
=
1'42.5
& if he was speeding up in last 200 & therefore not even pace, we are talking 1'42-low
apparently pacer was supposed to go 49+, so this 52-low rubbish didn't help, especially when Kid has 44+ speed to burn !!!
