And people say Arop is clean
And people say Arop is clean
Beat by one of the most obvious dopers in the the last decade
Another amazingly fast event in the 800m. Can’t remember another meet this fast, hard to believe.
1:41.67 for Hoppel !!! who could have imagined that wouldn’t get a medal ??
Insane for Hoppel to run that fast and not medal
Wanted Arop to close. Appreciated that the French runner made a move for the crowd. Hoppel seemed well-positioned but just sort of stagnated once in that position - but it was super fast, so it makes sense.

Marco Arop first lap 51.1.
He just even split a 1:41.2
That had to be the best 800 ever, even better than 2012
all time mark #5, #6, #9, #15
Wowwowwow
Deepest Third, Fourth, tied-Fifth (paris DL), sixth, seventh place marks EVER
FOUR 1:41s and THREE 1:42s
Hoppel for bronze after Sedjati gets popped
Hoppel will end up with bronze 🥉

Sedjati must have thought they would slow down some off that really fast pace. They didn't. 1:41.19. Damn
Yeah…relying on the greatest field ever to slow down probably wasn’t the best strategy. You can’t spot 1:41 guys that much ground with 300m to go.
Fantastic 800..brutal pace by Wanyonyi for a nice win

I mean he ran 1:41.67. He PR’d by like a second. Yeah, I would think he might stagnate a bit.
Sedjati with a consistent time to his DL runs, but why did he start from so far back there? It seems like he could've genuinely run 1:41 flat there.
1:41.67 doesn’t medal is sickening
Sedjati needs to get caught ASAP so Hoppel can get the medal he deserves.

AROP WITH A HUGE PB, SEDJATI GETS 3RD HOPPEL GOES HOME DEVASTATED
You are hands down one of the biggest idiots on this board. Hoppel just set a new American record and ran a great race. If anyone should be devastated, I'd say it would be your parents for raising such a tool.
Wanyonyi delivers gun to tape Rudisha style
Great from Arop peaking when it mattered but just fell short
Sedjati's first defeat of the season
Hoppel might be disappointed but huge PR and I think he should be pretty proud of that
The German shot put winner is a bigger religious nut than SML. Singing a full gospel song in the press conference. 💀

Yep!
Sedjati under investigation. L'Equippe says searches were conducted by police in Olympic Village.
USA 400m Trials winner Kendal Ellis pulled from women's 4x400m only minutes before the race.
