He is not a top quality 800m athlete. Surprising, considering he is part of probably the best training group in North America alongside OAC and Mike smith elite. He had a poor outing at sound running yesterday. The only moment I remember was his 2021 diamond league win, but that was against a pretty mediocre field. I can’t help but notice that his form really tightens up the last 200m. This will get a bunch of dislikes, but I’m just stating my opinion.
I'd say he is clearly at or near his absolute best fitness. He's getting a little long in the tooth for the 800m, but hasn't shown a significant decline. Maybe he retires in '26/'27.
His mom is about to be President, so he'll be able to retire comfortably.
I agree with you. Too bad, I really thought he was going to bust out this year and had a lot of potential. Who knows, hope he sticks with it.
He’s past his prime… he was always cutting people off, pushing them and getting away with it. Graceless as hell. Besides, he runs on his heels.
If he can remove the big stick from his *** then he could improve again.

God made sure that North Africa is the land of your nightmares concerning anything related to middle distances. Keep crying about EPO.
Do study and find out why NA are so strong in middle distances.
Aouita wasn't in the EPO era and you still invented doping for him.
Yeah that result seemed bad to me.
Hes certainly having a rough year - just wasn't there at the Trials or at Indoor Worlds.
Kessler, Miller, Hoey, even Murphy are just a tier above him at the moment.
Going into the Trials, wouldn't have been shocked if you told me both him and Jewett made it alongside Hoppel.
Both of them are just rapidly regressing, but it seems fixable.
I would probably consider him to be a slightly dirty racer yes. And his form I just can’t get over it. He runs like his feet are in mud.
Yeah because sedjati DEFINITELY is clean.😂😂 you people amaze me at how gullible you are.

Someone on here once described him as running like he "just woke up hung over and is late for the bus" and I think that's the perfect description.
wow
