Some turkey made a big thread about the greatest Monaco ever, partly because Brazier and Korir would be facing off there
These guys have a long time to recover. This helps Brazier especially. Final is wide open. Bosse is not at his best. Amos, well...another doper who is always let slide. Bett, the 23 yr old teen has potential but will have to race without teammates running blocker, "accidentally" bumping and stepping on people, etc. Final is wide open. As for McBride, after hearing him interviewed, I'm not sure... well, never mind.
I see what you did there with Brazier, Bonnie Prince. : ) Very funny but it will be lost on the LR crowd.
Yes, especially as Calculo stated that with 44 flat 400 speed, no one would be able to touch Korir in a slowish 1:45 race, over the last 200m!
So it looks like that's another supposition discredited.

some guys either are not trained for rounds or cannot handle rounds, and then there is something called the bad day at the office, and then there is peaking too early in the season, and losing it come championship time.
these are the factors.
in the case of a 400 guy running the 8 for the first year, you suspect that rounds later in the season would be an issue, as it was for kerley in the 400.
Don't worry guys,
Kipyegon has this one covered.
I've called it!
Aman surprised me.

100% correct if fit
he picked up a hip injury after 1st round
a hugely easing qualifying the commentator said didn't look "out of 2nd gear"
So it looks like that's another supposition discredited
is this a joke ???
he at least managed to run here in much better shape than expected after starting with a 1'14WR in january !!!, until unfortunate injury
impress us the total number of times coe made an excuse to never run in world championships ???

I'm staggered that someone who apparently can theoretically run sub-1:40 struggled at a pace that was so much slower. Better call Renato and tell him to halt building the new gym in Iten.
While not trying to defend that calculo guy or anyone for that matter, 400m speed will be obsolete if there is either an injury or said athlete gets blocked/boxed in against others of similar value.
After that 1:43 negative split I can only imagine how much the betting sites have made on Korir... And how angry those gambling losers are as well!

ZERO!
Also Korir injured himself while just cruising? OK.

Oh please! Excuses, excuses, always excuses.
He was fine in round 1 and has had lots of rest recently. He just doesn't have the endurance to run multiple rounds close together, so any basic speed advantage is nullified.
You said he had the fastest last 100/200 finishing speed of any 800 guy from last 40+ years. You talk nonsense. Korir is fit and he was in a slow race. Anyone with the 'best kick' ever would have extricated himself from the curb easily and sprint past everyone with ease. He failed miserably. He has supposedly been planning for these Champs all year, had a slowish 1st round heat, only had to run 3 rounds, as opposed to 4 in much harder Olympic competitions, yet ran something like 27 for last 200 in a 1:46.
You offer nonsense. Come back when he's actually run a 24 sec last 200 in a Championship race during a 1:45 or faster. Otherwise, your fanciful speculations have nothing to back them up.
what excuses ???
he said he had injury in back/hip region & coudn't sprint
can't you understand his youtube interview after ???
yes
he wasn't injured then
learn to listen
he said he picked up injury in that race
utter nonsense
he won ncaa indoor & out & Kenyan trials
were those 1-off runs ???
tell us those prelims he ran for those were a mirage ???
he has
you think 44.53 & 43.34 relay leg were hallucinations ???
that is quantum better speed than anyone including caballo or everett
43.34 relay leg !!!
he has best 400 speed & that logically means 100/200 speed of anyone of past 40+y providing he stays injury free
if you'd bothered to follow Korir this year which you either haven't deliberately or incapable of doing so, you wouda known he had a similar back injury in january soon after his 600iWR which kept him out for some weeks
he didn't run for some weeks but came back for ncaa indoors unprepared but which he of course, won
so there was a back injury in his background all season
more rubbish
you think any guy you care to name in last 40+y running elite 800 had 43.34 relay speed ???!!!
name 1 guy who couda run 43.34 relay ???
can't you read or listen ???
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8GD17Wsy6wwere you there & qualified to examine him & confirm there was no injury ???
what do you know about musculoskeletal injuries ???
because of a back injury which has been lurking in background all year & kept him out for weeks early season
is this a joke ???
do you know anything about Korir ???
he was running x-country end of last year & came to US with 1'46+ pb !!!
there was no plan to run these championships at all at start of this year !!!
his plan/Ereng's plan was to win ncaa indoors & out & probably call it quits for year
he just happened to run such stunning 400s & incredible 1'43.7 with last lap with 51-mid finish that after ncaa finals he thought he might just have enough energy left to have shot at top-3 at Kenyan trials which he managed
there was absolutely no plan whatsoever to run in Kenyan trials at start of year
there woudn't have likely been such a plan until final year of ncaa career in 2y time but he ran so fast so quick that changed
cruising in 2nd gear
but got injured
is this a joke ???
less entry for these meant tougher qualifications for 1st round to semis whereas in OG it is virtually impossible for an elite to not advance in 1st round
is this a joke ???
they don't give you a medal for prelim
the idea if you didn't know, is to advance with least energy expenditure
your usual rubbish
is this a joke ???
only likes of Big-Man/Kipketer have run such undrafted last 200
you surely don't allude to that nonsense '86 euros where coe limpeted cram so much it was pathetic !!!
it was most abominable piece of 800 running ever, absolutely terrified of cram & just hope to get huge drafting off cram
he barely edged mckean at finish who was a 1'44-mid guy at best in '86 !!!
what does that say about coe's finish when he coud barely edge a 1'44-mid guy ???
coe didn't even run in a world championships 800 !!!
again, you have offered nothing
Korir in his 1'43.7 ran last lap like a maniac in ~ 51.4 & looked to be speeding up thruout last lap which is typical in huge -ve split 800s
it is likely his last 200 in a 1'43.7 was 24-high/25-flat, a finish only Big-Man or Kip wouda been capable of in last 40+y
Korir sucked in this. Kenya should have sent someone else. What embarrassment.
