Yeah this is all fair. I think he just hadn’t had a breakthrough race. He ran Paris (1:44.23) right after 1:44.30 at Paavo Nurmi. I guess your PB is your PB. I’ve always regarded him slightly higher than the PBs. Monaco 800m is interesting. I wonder if there’s a shakeup in the entries. If I were their coaches, I’d pull Sedjati and Wanyonyi back.
Kidali and Hoppel would benefit from a start in Monaco IMO.
