no
you don't know he has a crappy start
he has evidence of just 2 open 400s this year in each of which he was quantum leap better than anyone in the field & didn't need to blast it from the gun
each time he cruised it to 200 & blasted the last 200
he knows racing against a Fred or Lashawn he coudn't do that & woud have to blast it from the gun
He will lose over a second out of the blocks
is this a joke ???
what possessor of a 43+ relay leg you know was 1+s slower for open 400 ???
Still, he could go maybe 44.4x
no
try 44-flat, as all are entitled to 0.7s conversion from their relay leg

The other guy is right. Relays are notoriously inflating.

Rolling starts for non sprinters disguise the slowest part of their race - the gun to 10.

And it doesn't count. So wait for him to run it legitimately

re: HardLoper

re: Rubar

He should probably go ahead and move up to the 1500/5k - just think how easy he could jog sub 53" repeat 400s on his way to world records in every distance event. I wish he would stop wasting his time in the silly sprint events!

re: Distance Guru

so where are all the experts who were telling me korir wouldnt break 45 at sea level now? you guys are 15:50's best 5k tools who suck at all things in life and how now comprehension of sprinting.

if you saw how smooth and fluid he was on his 1:43 and his 44.6 you would know all he needed was some competition. i will tell you again and again 43.7ish by worlds if he was to run the 400. i would even go as far as saying if he takes off fast he could do it at nationals and take 2nd.

but what do i know? i only predicted van running a WR at the olympics, and i had all your morons and vent talking sh*t that im an idiot and merrit would win and van would never sniff the WR.

korir can run 43.7 in a 400m. i dont have some moronic calculator to figure this out. i have been in track and field my whole life and i understand and comprehend running. if you run a 44.6 ALONE in april, you will only get faster. wow some people on here are so fu

re: i agree with spencer

I agree that Korir is CAPABLE of 43.7, I just don't think he will do so this year, and if his 800 goes where I think it will, he will never focus 100% on the 400. So this will likely forever be an open question. He is much better off as a 44/1:41 guy than a 43.7/1:42 guy.

re: level up

that all depends. if he can run 43.7s this year, thats medal contender any year

1:42 might get him 4th if all the players run fast, or worse.

say he can do a 43.7, that puts him 7th all time.

1:41 has only been run by 5 people. so i really cant see him running that fast, i see him as the black Jeremy Wariner. they look very similar in build and stride, very very smooth and fast. like i said korir can drop a 20.5 guarantee, no one who has run 1:41 has ever had that speed
