Saruni is the #2 performer ever. That was the third sub 1:44 indoors ever.

Brazier is now the 5th fastest man in indoor history and Jonny Gray's 1:45.00 AR which had stood since 1992 is history!!!

Here is the all time indoor 800 list according to TFN.

1. 1:42.67 Wilson Kipketer (Denmark) 3/09/97

1:43.96 ————Kipketer 3/07/97

2. 1:43.98 - Michael Saruni

3. 1:44.15 Yuriy Borzakovskiy (Russia) 1/27/01

4. 1:44.21 Emmanuel Korir (Kenya) 2/03/18

Okay. Nice job D. Brazier. Brazier racing 46.xx plus 400m no longer impresses me. Brazier, racing 1:44+ 800m indoors does not impress me. If Brazier told me he s going on ten mile runs three times a month, I will be happy to hear. He needs something extra in the tank to ensure he makes US team and something extra in the tank to make it to outdoor W.C. 800m final.

love free speech, but the above guy's comment and his kind, however, give a very strong convincing reason for the Nazis out there to ban free speech....

You stated no specific thought of mine that is in error. You sure have Third Reich on your mind. Are you running late for a klan rally?

It is great to see Donavan Brazier realizing more of his potential, and off of about six weeks of training apparently. Incredible.

That is a scary fast training duo down in El Paso with Saruni and Korir..

Brazier must be the most talented runner ever, from any country. It boggles the mind.

If his interviews are to be believed, he took march to december 2018 OFF.

Started treadmill jogs in December 2018.

Stepped on a track for the first time in early January.

Ran 1:45 3 weeks later.

Runs 1:44 AR 5 weeks later?!?? Are you kidding me? Insane talent.

If the above is true, there has probably never been a more talented athlete.

You are either a click bait moderator,

Or a deeply different dude.

I totally agree. With Saruni running this fast I wonder what Emmanuel Korir would have run here tonight especially considering that Korir was at least 1 second to 1.5 second faster than Saruni. That indicates he could be in shape for World indoor record. Saruni was asked if Korir is racing indoors this season but he declined to comment, said he is not speaking for Korir. So there is a chance we could see Korir do one race, maybe in Europe and if he does, it will at least be a world lead.

Can we please talk more about this?

Kid just got an AR after training for 5 weeks???!

Just do easy workouts and don't injure this kid for a year straight and he'll run 1:39???!

My mind is still boggled that someone took 9 mos OFF, started treadmill jogs in Dec, and runs 1:44 AR after a month. WTF?

Six weeks of track work, which is about all the speedwork any human needs to tune up. Definitely doesn’t demonstrate any degree of abnormal ‘talent’. He had his largest winter base ever, which is where the real work was done.

You love free speech until you disagree with what's being said. Got it.
