It just means they were the ones selected. Countries have a cap on who can run so by no means are some of these guys the top in the world.

800m race is the toughest I think from my experience😅..

[@nativeson1559]

@John K, It is and for various reasons: 1. It is neither a sprint nor a distance race. 2. It is for sprinters, mid distance runners and long distance runners. It is for everyone. The polish guy as well as Kerri are sprinters. Obiri is a 5000m runner (Helen). 3. You start each person in his own lane…..sometimes two runners in a lane. 4. You don’t finish in your lane. 5. It is very short …so short,that if you miscalculate or fail un terms of strategy, it is over. You can correct it in a 1500m race because it is long(er) but in the 800, the bell goes very fast when you are way behind if you don’t position yourself correctly. Working your way through with 300m to go is never easy. You also don't start from the blocks.
