I think running tracks should return to using the colour red for their tracks.
Covered in rain, Blue coloured tracks look so drab and depressing.
Look at that photo, I can not believe that this track blue wet, visually appeals to most casual fans
It was the water and the blue which set it off, with the beautiful women as a backdrop. And how ironically fitting was the ‘dive’ at the finish line by the gal finishing 2nd?!
You do realize Mu went from 2:01 to 1:55.04 in 2021? Now Keely's got to compete with Athing, who just unlocked her obvious 1500 potential. No, she ain't got this easy no way.
Right. I hear 1500m training improves your 800m Speed.

Okay, maybe ‘quite shapely’ is more appropriate than ‘beautiful’, although KH is gorgeous, and let her hair down at the end for her adoring fans.

The strength one can get from 1500 meter training can improve your 800 speed, especially for someone with Mu's sprint based background.
Mu will only do one more 800m (final) in 2023. Next year with a bye she will just do the OG and we won't drug test her oops I meant see her the rest of the season.

The fact that you don’t know there are no Byes for the defending champ at OGs invalidates your opinion immediately due to ignorance.

It is interesting to her and those who follow her. She is working to improve her 400m time to help in going out faster in a 800m, that is all. She has no ambitions to be a "400m" runner. I thought that would be completely self-evident to anyone who understands the sport.
It is evident that most 800m runners would need to be in sub-51 400m condition to race sub-1:53 800m. Since K H will not race sub-1:53 800m this summer and most likely ever, her 400m time is no big deal. Did you read my first post? Even though correlation: 400m to 800m is stronger than 1500m to 800m, 400m to 800m correlation is not strong. My last post on this thread. Go ahead and continue to spam this site with K H's greatness.
No one runs sub-1.53 without a sh*tload of drugs. So your argument doesn't stand.

Actually I knew many who could run 1:53 without drugs. Are you that out of touch?

* Every 800m runner, my college team;
* Every 1500m runner, my college team;
* Some 3000m/5000m/10000m runners, my college team.
I would fall on my sword saying my teammates were clean.
O.P., I just looked at 400m female time standard. K H isn't even close. K H and her 400m ability isn't interesting at the moment.
It's interesting in that it is a half second PB and she was already a 1:55 woman. She's improving, as shown by her other results this year. Whether that's enough for gold is hard to say. But I'm confident that she's better than she was in 2021 and 2022. Her loss to Moraa isn't concerning, Hodgkinson said before that race she was planning to use her races up to Budapest to try out different tactics (she also did the same at British champs). Mu looks ominous, not because of her 1500 result, but the ease of that win in Ney York. A 1:58 shouldn't look that comfortable

Yep good to know KH's time in a 400m. A 1:55 - 1:56 woman who gave the 400m an honest go, on a wet track, would be expected to run a as she did, so good to know she ran and performed as expected in a 400m.

It’s probably a reference to female runners.
I like Hodgkinson a lot and am looking forward to the WC 800. It’s one of the events I am most looking forward to. I am more curious about what she can do in 1500, though. Her PR from her WA profile lists a 4:30 from when she was 15 or 16 years old. I would think she is significantly faster than that now.
I don’t see Hodgkinson beating Mu but if she does, great. I’m fine with whoever wins and just want to see a great race.
