they used to, until Seb Coe changed the event forever.
Wilson Kipketer was insanely smooth. An absolutely remarkable runner. Sadly missed i think it was the 1996 oly’s and a sure fire Gold.
Rudisha you can tell looking at him, has been doing the sprints, weights and plyro’s that is Mandatory to run that fast in a 800m event. And looking at him finish, i bet he could break 30min for 10km also!
