First Symmonds is listed in the "B" race of the 800.
His manager, coach, meet directors, someone gets smart and puts him in the "A" heat.
He man's up and runs a sub 1:44 PR, takes 3rd.
Rudisha is on another planet.
For a squatty body like Symmonds, to continue to improve, set a PR. Good stuff.
Maybe Wheating's recent PR's threw down a little domestic challeng, and Nick responded.
He's a stud, whatever he tops out at PR wise, you can rest assured that Nick got the max out of his potential.
Congrats Nick, and Good on YA!
