I have just questioned the nonsense you have written.
It is "nonsense" when your skills of comprehension are limited. If 1.46 was not a significant achievement the Dutch runner would be of no special interest. But he is faster than Rudisha was at the same age - and, as I said, he has recorded a faster time than Amos and Murphy achieved in the last Olympic final. That must put him the the ball-park of running at an international level. And at 17 he will only get faster.
I've exactly used your argumentation you used to "prove" 1:46 is a world class 800m time to "prove" 3:50 is a world class 1500m time. For sure these argumentation is completely nonsense.
1:46.3 is not a world class 800m time. More than 130 runners have run faster just in this season.
No, you haven't used my argument. You haven't got it. But keep telling me how pedestrian 1.46 is. And at a global and thus international level, is 130 a lot of runners against the thousands competing in that event on the track, who are only at a local, provincial, regional and maybe national level ?
Yes I have. You never will accept this easy fact but this will not change the truth.
1:46.3 is not pedestrian, what are you talking. It's a great time for a 17 yo . Especially someone with this sort of range. But not world class.

That comparison with Amos' and Murphy's times in Tokyo is irrelevant.
Amos went through 400m in 54.0, Murphy in 54.5. Korir won in 1:45.06. Compare that to this year's 1:43.71 It was, by all standards, a "slow" race for those runners because of the first 400m. No wonder the best 400m runner won and Dobek, a former 400m hurdler came 3rd. While Amos is no slouch at 400m his last 150m were very poor in Tokyo. As for Murphy, go back and watch the race. He never even once ran in lane 1. He ran 1:46 but covered a lot of extra distance. He ran well under 1:46 that day for 800m

Good post.
Even Army should now understand. But let's wait...

You continue to seek to make excuses for established internationals who ran slower in an Olympic final than a 17 year old Dutch kid. If 1.46 is being run by international athletes then it is still world class. It isn't local, provincial, or even state level - and certainly not schoolboy level. If his performance was not a stand-out we wouldn't be discussing him, or even know about him.

OK, you still haven't understood. Or - more likely - you just can't agree that you have been wrong, because of your strange personality.
Is it important that the "kid" is Dutch?
1:46.3 is not a world class 800m time. It was in 1960, yes. But not today.

It isn't important that he is "Dutch". It's a change from a Kenyan. I don't agree with you as to what you believe is "world-class". I also believe that one of the differences between 1960 (and 1972, with Wottle) is doping. We will not agree about that either.
