Thank you sincerely for posting this phenomenal performance by Kipketer! There is another version of this same race online but it is so blurry and poor quality that you can only see a blotch of smudged runners and can't really make out details. However this clip brings out the full living color of the flowing animal of Kipketer - and his modest big smiles just after the race - thank you!
Such an amazing runner. As of May, 2023 only five men have run in the 1:41 zone: David Rudisha (only man to go in 1:40 zone), Wilson Kipketer, Sebastian Coe, Joaquim Cruz, and Nijel Amos. It has happened only fifteen times that a man has run sub 1:42. That should give you an idea of how hard and rare it is.
Wilsons running form is the GREATEST in history beautiful to watch incredible guy best 800m runner ever dominating indoors and outdoors running fast and breave and aswell great kick in tactical races. he mentioned he would have like to do 800m/1500m double imagine he had run sub 3:30 which he claimed to be capable of if he had not gotten malaria) Insane guy almost the best middle distance runner
Couple of thoughts - 1) What a great meet Koln was, such a shame it disappeared and 2) You have to wonder what Kipketer could have run had he run closer to these splits in Zurich instead of the suicidal 48.2 opening 400 there. My favorite 800m runner ever with the best form in history

I can only agree he is brave like amos but his form is by FAR the best he almost won 3 olympic golds
such a beautiful runner.
Smoothest man in the field. If you didn't know he was you could pick him as the winner after 200m.
He is a traitor
