No he didn't. He ran 1:44.3 and then stagnated for a couple of seasons, improving again in '84.

Its Brandon Miller that made the 1:43.7 not Hobbs.
And its the shoes ... there is nothing special.
Hobbs will be left in the wind at the Olympics.
Brandon Miller made the 1:43...but it also doesn't matter because of the shoes...but you can't give Hobbs any credit for being fit enough to maneuver this race because...well he stole it from the...uh...what did you call Miller before? Just curious cuz it sounded a little funny!
Miller and Kessler seemed pretty happy together after they finished, wholesome.
You American you are a too complexed segregative country. Your history tell of.
Isn't obvious that 99% of LRC threads talk about Cole Hocker, Jakob, Hobbs Kessler, Valby? What have these people in common? they are white and/or with yellow hair.
This is the 100% proof that your society is hyper-racist. So keep you lesson for yourself.
I called him black because I didn't know who he was and knowing that 95% of American Sport is dominated by blacks.
This is a fact or not?
Now go get some sleep (inventing stories about my supposed racism).
N.B.
Your medias dont talk about blacks (which is not an insult).
You call them negros and in countries like France "negros" is an insult that can get you to justice.

800m might be his best event. Can u imagine if he gets down to 1:42 for 800m what his potential is for the 1500m over the next few years. He is only 21!!
Bumped into my old buddy Nick Willis walking in last night and we talked briefly about Hobbs. He told me actually thinks the 800m is his best event right now which I was really surprised at - turns he is almost certainly right.
As a 1500 guy he obviously has the ability to hang on to a fast pace but isn't a great kicker (accelerator) even off a slower pace like a guy like Hocker. And he is not a threshold monster like Nuguse is that can just grind at that 55.5/56.0 pace.
But over 800m he has world class tools and we saw it in that L.A 800m he won and we saw it last night. His 1500m strength allows him to be comfortable at that 52.0 second tempo which is key for the modern 800m guy and it also allows him the strength to accelerate and change gears off that pace. Even last night I have no doubt he could have gone to another gear as they approached the final 60m and put 1-2m on Miller had he wanted to and run 1.43.5. Very Steve Cram'esque.
Wouldn't say he isn't a threshold monster like Nuguse, remember he ran 3:48 indoors and would have likely ran 3:47 at Pre. I haven't seen anything that indicates he can't run 56.0 pace, and on the contrary I think he's pretty similar to Nuguse in that regard.

WOAH
I think his best medal shot may actually be 800 this year. He looked like he was in his element tonight.
I was saying on here a couple of years back after I first saw him that he looked like Seb Coe 2.0 and that his most natural event would be 800m. The kid can easily do 1:42, without a doubt. Humble kid, well grounded, easy to support. That world Mile championships last year was a revelation for him and he has only risen since.
