Wottle in Munich 72? If not negative this was exactly evenly split I think.
Was Ereng in 1988 negative split?
He was 2nd to last for most of the race.

No, they were positive: - 51.1, 52.3
His 200m splits were: - 24.8, 26.3, 25.9, 26.4......... so after the initial 200m, which is almost always the fastest, mainly due to anaerobic systems not kicking in for first 10-15 secs, the remaining last 600m was remarkably even splits; with a differential of only 0.5secs.
Cruz, who went off probably too fast, in 23.6, had a 1.4secs differential in his remaining 3 x 200m splits (26.2, 26.4, 27.6)
Aouita's were : - 24.8, 26.0, 26.0, 27.2; so a differential of 1.2 secs.
I think this shows that even pacing after the initial 200m is the key to running best race/fastest time, for a lot of 800m specialists. Even laps were always advocated as ideal for Cram in running his best 800m races.

Just came across the video of the 1977 World Cup.
Terrific race between Juantorena and Boit.

Fantastic race.

Juantorena's stride length is ridiculous.
His legs are as tall as some people lol.

Rudisha - 1:41.01 / 49.1 and 52.0 / 6% difference.
Kipketer - 1:41.11 / 49.3 and 51.8 / 5% difference
Cruz - 1:41.77 / 49.7 and 52.0 / 4% difference
Coe - 1:41.73 / 49.7 and 52.0 / 4% difference
These men have the fastest 800m times and were the most successful in competition races.
It appears that running a negative split is not as effective to run a WR time or be a consistent race winner in races.
Is Borzakovskiy the best negative split 800m runner ever?
Borzakovskiy must be the only even/negative split runner with consistent results.
Did Wottle always run an even split?
