IT IS NOT SUPERSPIKES, It is the result of a generation of runners finally improving to Rudishas level with proper training. No Drugs or super spikes!!
I'm not that worried, didn't Hoppel just run a 1:42 after 2 prelims? These guys were all completely fresh. Definitely a crazy 800m no doubt, but you can't write off Hoppel based on this.
Tual hadn't broken 1:44 before this year and he's 26. Can wavelights/pacing really account for THAT much of a jump? (Especially since he had them last year)
Of course pacing lights don’t make a difference. If they had run a few tenths of a second faster, or slower, during the first lap, it wouldn’t have made a distance. WRs have been run with a positive split, so would whoever programs light try to guess the perfect splits for a record? Runners don’t even use them and they’re just for the fans.
Woke up to check the results. Eyes were dry, kind of hurt to read the screen. I was surprised when I saw the Wanyoni didn't even win but I almost just rolled over went back to sleep after I saw the times because man I wanted to pass out.
Most insane thing i've ever seen. Was this what it was like to see the results roll in for London 2012? Also I refuse to believe all 3 of those guys are clean lmao
