@@sammiller1003No they are not built nothing like the runners of the mid 1980s and early 1990s lol. Although it is easier too tell on women than it is men.
Ah, different drugs, bro. I would say doping has become a lot more sophisticated from the 80s and 90s. I just think though more people are interested in the sport these days. There has always been super talented people for running, who preferred to be something else in life. I was into running at school, but in my own high school alone, one of the poorest high schools in the country, there were people I thought who had a natural talent for the sport. For example, a mate of mine at 14, who had never done any sport, was a bit of a brainiac, he liked studying and playing video games. We had house teams at school, each student was assigned a house in the first year at school, and that was your house until you graduated. Anyway this guy at 14 years of age, decided he would represent his house in the hundred metres, on the school athletics day. He came out with no training, no sports background whatsoever and ran a lighting quick 11.2 seconds. I was mind blown. I was telling him to give up his studies and just focus on becoming a 100m sprinter. Anywhere from 100m to 800m, I reckon he had the talent for. He was like why would I do that, I was like I don't know anyone who can run that fast with no training. Two weeks later he was made to represent the school at the local area Champs. He cleaned up in 11 seconds flat. I begged him to start training with me, or at least come down to the local track after school and to join the local sprinting group. He had no interest in doing so. Having won those Champs he was selected to represent at the national Champs, but he never turned up. I ended up going to a different school the following year, but I met up with him a few years later, and I was shocked at how overweight he had become. I felt sad for him, he wasted a talent, in something I thought he could have been great at. It was simply becuase all us came from disadvantaged backgrounds, most of us had very little direction in life and no role models to look up to outside of gang members, and total bums.
Being Canadian I pull for AROP but you have to admire Wanyonyi's reserve and finishing kick and the staying power of Sedjati! Marco Arop went 49.28 on the 1st lap and faded just a wee bit (only these other two 101.x second runners went by). So I suspect that for him it might be better to go a second slower (say 50.3 then IDEALLY a 50.5 or back to back 50.4s to break Rudishas WR! Obviously a pair of 49.9s to break the 100 second "barrier" would be fun to see, but that needs either couple of years or a FREAK race!
Given the conditions, a 1:42.70 is really like a 1:41 low in better weather. It's amazing how competitive this event (and a number of others!) has become in the past year. There has never been this much depth in the history of this event with more than 10 guys within 1 second of the world record.
Don’t forget Wilson Kipketer, still the smoothest striding 800 runner I have ever seen. His WR from 1997 is only marginally slower than Rudisha’s WR from 2012.
What Wanyonyi did was wild, he knew it was too late in the season to be breaking world records so he let the others kill themselves and then picked them apart at the end.
A crazy race! In my opinion the 1500 and 800 records were set by truly, truly legendary runners and will prove very hard to take down even with all the modern tech.
The 1500m is further away from being broken. But the 800m i definitely see going in the next couple years for sure and maybe being brolen more than once.
@@michellevey9608Just checked all time list in 800. How did Seb Coe run 1:41.72 42 years ago on a slower track surface, inferior spikes, andp supposedly less intelligent training methods and diet in the '80s. That performance really jumps off the page.
@Someone-hi1nt you have no idea.go to your local track and see if you can even run 69 seconds for two laps straight. 800m is a very brutal and gritty race and these elite athletes give everything to even claw out a time such as 1:42. What makes you think anyone is breaking 1:40 unless humans start to radically evolve biologically.
@@Kipchoge475 it depends on how old the person i replied to is, but using data and analysis its more likely than not that the barrier will be broken in the next 35 years... so unless the commenter has an underlying condition or is above the age of 45, theres a higher chance that the 1:40 barrier will be broken in their lifetime than not
@Someone-hi1nt I think we're approaching a point where improvements in times are almost near what is humanly possible. The only way forward to break past that physiological and biological/anatomical limitation being a significant leap in human evolution or some freak specimen of an athlete is born.
Arop: In Silesia, I had a weird collision with a pacer in the beginning of the second lap. How do I avoid that? Oh, I outrun the pacer still in the first lap!
You must see the 1980's 800m Olympic race. The Olympic champion Steve Ovett pushed violently at least two athletes in the beginning of the race. But, in those days sport was manly and tough unlike today's hypersensitivity.
@@RedouaneArabi-g4o Hicham El Guerrojj never behaved like this and dominated the 1500 for almost a decade. Sedjati is no where on El G level yet he has to rely on aggressive tactics. Glad to see him lose
He won that Diamond league last time before the Olympics because he got pushed forward by wanyoni because sedjati gave him no space forcing him to push him foward this race he got pushed back lol
11 of the 20 fastest times in history were run this yr which is just insane! Rudisha's WR to go next yr if Wanyonyi, Arop & Sedjati stay healthy?!
jsut means the equipment has improved enough and perhaps training idk
Drugs????

This would be a great headline
It’s crazy how the 800 really blew up as one of the most competitive events this year

Wanyoni must be signed to grand slam track
Such a great racer he don’t even need pace makers he always runs his own race
Running is now a contact sport.
brooooo WTF!
If your didn't throw elbows, did you really run an 800?
Him pushing the Sedjati at the end was such a d**k move. Shouldn't there be a penalty for that?
Love this coverage! Great channel
Congratulations Wanyonyi!!!🙌🏾🔥🇰🇪

Agree l guess. They're both tough ones!

I totally agree. He was amazing!
Another most anticipated race.
He deliberately ran into the 2 nd guy just before the line 😮
Winner deviates his line at finish
Great video, thanks.
Thanks.
Beaut race,thanks
Thanks!
Thanks a bunch! 💪
I don't know why people aren't talking about 1:40 as the next big barrier to break. I mean, it's literally a 100 second barrier!
Yeah ain’t no one breaking 1:40 in our lifetime …
@@abone2pickin our lifetime? Yes it will

Patiently waiting for the Ingebrigtsen half marathon video
Sedjati wanted that 30k badly....
Cheating MF! A fine should be imposed
Wanyonyi wanted it more😂😂
Off topic... give us the story is where Ms. Athing Mu's mind is. What's the rumpas?
800m starts at 2:36
Wanyonyi might actually take down the WR sooner or later
The times in Brussels have generally been slower than expected. Track or weather conditions or both?
The weather sucked
I'm beginning to think the typos in every video are intentional... Brussles at 0:11 was hard to overlook.
Speling is overrated.
Arop: In Silesia, I had a weird collision with a pacer in the beginning of the second lap. How do I avoid that? Oh, I outrun the pacer still in the first lap!
I was there and the atmosphere was great, unfortunately I sat at the Pole vault and Shot put,so I couldn't properly see the finish line
1:42 would’ve been a blazing fast time last year and now it’s just eh
Use of crazy as an adjective
The $30,000✅ is an 8ncentive for any Athlete
Djamel sedjati run 1 '41 '''46
Most athletes trained to peak at the olympics. Not enough time to rest, reset and peak again.
No pacesetter to get in Arop's way this time
Wanyonyi ni alikumbuka millioni tatu akasema💨💨💨🤣
upto now I don't know how they choose a pace maker and why they drop out of the race
I wonder if anyone can maintain 50s per lap for 800m?
Wanyoni needs to be DQ'd for his continual bumping at the finish line.
That track is slow.
Nah ppl already peaked for olympics , the post Olympic slump is very real

sub 1:40 seems impossible to me tbh, i dont think its going to be possible to go sub 50 twice in a row in a 400
Sedjati needs to be disqualified for pushing Wanyonyi
He got in front of him which is still legal for some reason but it adds to the competitiveness so im not complaining
Broooo! At the very least he has to be fined!
