Arop wasn’t given enough credit for running <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="101">1:41</a>.20 at the Olympics for silver. A classy move to let Wanyonyi take a shot at the record by letting him pass on the inside.

[@Ougagagoubou]

Idk, when watching olympics run I thought his effort getting that time with his strategy of sticking behind early on made it super impressive. It's race for WR between those two.

[@Michaelkaydee]

I doubt that he had anything other than beating Wanyonyi on his mind

[@AW-kv8te]

Rudisha set the record in an Olympic final while front running the whole race, this current crop of 800m runners are amazing but still 0.2 away with both a human and light pacer. Just highlights how crazy Rudisha’s record is

[@parkerfleischman1852]

To be fair with how close they were to the WR despite the crazy pacing from Wanyoni there I still think he could break the WR without anything and I think the Olympic final showed the potential is there.

[@alansamuel2454]

The light pacing is a massive advantage especially in distances like the 800m where honestly you cannot do too much pacing or calculation or adjustments etc. Once the pacer is out it's all up to you. Seeing those lights really makes a world of a difference.

[@willienganga]

I think after the olympics Arop also mentioned something to do with the new track types as contributing to improvements towards WR. Better shoes plus better track. Otherwise, Rudisha's record would be out of reach for quite some time.

[@alansamuel2454]

@@willienganga It would explain the great performances in the 800, 1500 and 10000m this year. There were like some 9 or something runners under the previous 10000m OR which was no joke by any means. While this might be a reach and I don't want to undermine Hocker but the other three - Jakob, Nuguse and Kerr have proven prior to be fast runners while Hocker was still some distance behind. His 3:27.65 is really no joke. While I'm not a scientist, I doubt these benefits would really translate to any significance in the 400m or shorter events so both the 400m men and women's races were just plain fast.

[@alansamuel2454]

@@parkerfleischman1852 Good point. He's legit like a mini Rudisha at the age of 20 it's terrifying. Like 4 times under 1:42 in a single season with each race faster than the other and closing (as of now) at what's the second fastest race ever. And yes I also think he could run it solo. The light pacer is just an add on which I think can maybe add on to help him do some crazy time like 1:40.5 a few years down the line. I think he will reach very close to the human limit and I don't really see what else can be improved now considering shoes, track, human pacer, light pacer etc are already top notch. Maybe minute improvements can occur which will help some phenomenal athlete down the road to reach around 1:40.25. It will likely be another Kenyan. 😂

[@khalils9023]

I think Wanyonyi will clip Rudishas WR either later this year or in 2025 if he stays healthy!!!!

[@namne11]

pacer did his job. It was Arop who made the mistake. As a pacer, you have two options. You either jump to the inside of the track or you drift outside so the runners can stay on the inside and run the least amount. But when there's barriers like here, pacers dont jump in unless they're leading by a lot due to the risk of falling. This pacer chose to drift out and for some reason Arop followed. If Arop just stuck on the inside, this would all be a mute point

[@MarkB-vp9ki]

Just crazy to see multiple runners threatening a WR that is truly one of the craziest times I've ever seen. It's going to be exciting to watch the next couple of years

[@gonedisonance]

I think what makes it even crazier is Wanyoni is only 5'8. His height makes it clearer how fast the pace is at world record pace

[@unseenstalkr]

[@chillinstorm254]

Just got back from the meet. Knew TRP would have already cooked before getting home. Love that Lausanne always delivers a good meet. Shame the pacer fumbled the bag on this 800m. The javelin throws were awesome to watch. Tebogo is looking dominant this end of season. I doubt we'll see Lyles facing Tebogo this season again, Lyles will probably focus on retrieving his best shape before risking losing to Tebogo again. Hopefully, Tebogo runs a flat 400m this season so we can see how much of monster he can be. Goodnight fellas

[@unseenstalkr]

I really wanted to see Bolt take the 400m seriously a few times at his peak. That 19.19 200m speed and strength was insane

[@Faustin-ju5dx]

[@crosslink1493]

Lot of equipment on the inside of the turn, so I wonder if the original plan was to have him break off onto the infield but he had to go outside instead and he slowed too early for Aprop to avoid him. Tough break, but still some great times all around.

@@NarutoJK-jh7tr I also have tested them myself and the difference is enormous. If there was no difference literally no-one would wear shoes that perform the same but cost twice as much.

[@Neofolis]

Unbelievable that Emmanuel is only 20, he should still have years of improvement and only 0.2 seconds to go. When you think about the women's 800m, there's been talk of Athing and Keely possibly getting near the WR since they were running so fast at only 19, but they are 22 now and still have over a second to go. Respect to Marco, whilst also wondering how fast he could have gone without the pacer incident.

[@moneymaverickstv]

Wow. What a race.

[@hammymld9979]

I think there's a good chance it goes in the next 1-2 years, the 1500m record too. A whole crowd of runners have inched up on both records and are within just a second or two of surpassing both of them.

[@mikem3789]

[@AthleticsEditz]

I genuinely think Arop ran a faster race than Wanyonyi here. Going in to the *3rd lane* for a good 20m on the curve, then moving to the side to let Wanyonyi past AGAIN (really love that from him) makes it all the more impressive. Given that he was only a few meters back on Wanyonyi at the finish, I think he legitimately could have gotten close to 1.41.00, if not broken it here, had he not been forced/chosen (lmao) to go on the outside. David Rudisha’s 800m world record is on its last legs guys, I confirmed believe I’m saying that!
