    Did anyone see her run in Doha this year? She ran a WR in the hurdles of 52.20, and a 4 x 400 relay split of 49.4. I never broke 50.00 in any 400, either relay or open yet easily ran faster than 2:00 in the 800 during college. I even broke 2:00 once in High School with a best of 52.xx 440 yd. I don't doubt with specific training that she or Sydney McLaughplin could run under 2:00.

    So Usain Bolt can probably break 1:40 for the 800?

    I don't think you understand track that well. There is a world of difference in going from a 100 m to an 800 m race. Going from a hurdle or flat 400 m is easier. I also said "with specific training I don't doubt she ... could run under 2:00.

    In Jack Daniels book he lists a 54.0 second 400 m as equivalent to a 1:58.8 800 m run. I agree with his assessment.

    2:01 was enough to get Hanna Green into Pre where she finished 4th in around 1:59. I'd say that's world class. Green went on to finish 2nd at USA Nationals and make the World Championships team. IAAF World Championships standard for women was 2:00.60 btw.

    Ok so the world stage would be the IAAF world championships. Not a random diamond league race.

    Hannha Green finished last in her 800m heat. Of the 41 competitors invited to the event she finished 35th.

    I'm going to repeat my earlier statement which was; '1:59 won't get you very far on the world stage'.

    ex-runner:

    Hanna hurt her hamstring just before Doha:

    Hanna ran 1:58.19 this year.

    Hanna is ranked 10th by the IAAF this year and was ranked as high as 7th earlier this year:

    Still not "world class"?

    It would be more accurate to say that Jack Daniels suggests a 54.0 400 is the prerequisite speed needed to run a 1:58.8 for a well trained 800 runner.
