Let her throw with things and she 's fine, but running - especially an 800 - is a hell. I predict Hall/KJT and Vidts, Weissenberg or Oosterwegel for bronze. The point is Vetter would likely still be 3rd if taking her 800m into account, as one would do in multi-events 2:20 is awful for Hall or Johnson-Thompson, but perfectly fine for Vetter, for example. And when taking a 2:20-2:22 or so into account, she would probably still be 3rd, unless those behind her really have one of their best ever runs.

Grassmarket 2,826 Posted August 20, 2023 #532 Share Posted August 20, 2023 800m in an heptathlon is like a time trial in cycling. Unless an athlete has a strong incentive to go 100%, they never go 100%. So past form doesn’t mean much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless an athlete has a strong incentive to go 100%, they never go 100%. So past form doesn’t mean much. Depends what you look at. A local heptathlon, no, not really, but the top level athletes in big events are usually placed high enough to have an incentive. If you look at that, anywhere between 2:02 and 2:04 is realistic for Hall, anywhere between 2:07 (if in mega shape) or 2:12 or so for KJT and 2:19-2:22 or so for Vetter. Like in time trials in cycling, one can definitely get a bit of a sense of what athletes are capable of.

I dont know if he Will repeat Tokyo performance, but of he stays healthy he can runfor sure around 9.90 and he Will be in finale next year. One hit wonder no, last year he ran 6.41 winning the 60 world title and the 100 europea title beating the Brits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
