Both the women’s 800m and men’s 1500m look like being utter box office in Paris.

Keely looked majestic today, much better tactics against Mora.

So many great match ups coming up in Paris. Just look at both men ‘s and women’s 400 hurdles too with Warholm v Benjamin v McMaster v Dos Santos on the men’s side and Bol v McLaughlin on the women’s side. Can’t wait

In the 800m, it looked like Keely's team had finally figured out the code for Moraa - that she will sprint to the front, lead out a fast 300, then start mucking up her rivals momentum with stop/starts to create a 300m final race. Today, Kellet showed how to beat that - stay well away from Moraa, and don't challenge her - you keep your momentum and avoid the damage to the kick of all the stop/starting - then pile it on with 5-600 to go  from a distance behind Moraa.

 

Now the question is how will that play with Mu

 

The 1500 was epic, and psychologically important between Josh and Jakob; it will disuade Jakob somewhat from the assumption that his own race plan suits him uniquely.

Moraa's tactics worked when they had an element of surprise to them but now she's just predictable. 

[dullard 721]

Cam Myers broke Jakob's 17 years mile "world best" and set an Australian U20 national record but you could hardly even see him during the broadcast because the focus was on the epic battle unfolding up front. Not that I'm complaining because I was cheering for Josh Kerr
