Yes Jarmilla the 800m WR waste rod class at 200m to 800m and on steroids; however Athing My as an 18 yr old is world class at 400m and 800m and one of the collegiate best at 1500m. Her 400m collegiate record came the first year she targeted the 400m collegiately and her 1500m ov came in a blowout and just outside of the TOP 10 marks collegiately. She seldom runs the 1500m and probably have less then 10 1500m/mile races lifetime in a 4 year period. She is much better at 1500m right now then we think.
Athletes of today have 30 years of evolution to overcome Jarmilla's tainted 800m record. ATHING MU is a once in a lifetime athlete, not even 1:54.30 18 year old Pamela Jelimo could match Athing times from 200m tov1500m. I. fact not since Mary Decker-Slaney have we ever seen a teenager with such potential from 200m to 1500m. GMary Decker end up being WR holder at 800m to 3000m and ELITE world class at 5000m)10000m. Yes I see Athing being able to be world class up to 5000m, so stop it the young lady has the talent to break the WR but have develop her potential and stay focused and healthy to accomplish the momential feat
