Men's 800: Abubaker Kaki Leads The Way
This men's 800 is without a doubt led by two-time world indoor champ Abubaker Kaki. Just as was the case in 2008 before the Olympics and 2009 before the World Championships, Kaki is undefeated in races that he finishes (he dropped out at New York earlier this year). Because he is overshadowed by world record holder David Rudisha and because he's never made an Olympic or Worlds final, many people don't realize how good Kaki is. Last year, he finished 14 800s (including heats) and he won 12 of the 14. He ran 1:42.23 and 1:43.84 in the two races that he lost to Rudisha. In 2009, he finished 5 races prior to Worlds and won all of them (although he also had one DNF) before he bombed out in the semis at Worlds. In 2008, he was a perfect 6-for-6 at 800 events heading into the Olympics, where he also bombed out in the semis.
Since this isn't a Worlds or Olympics and Rudisha isn't in the field, past history says Kaki should win this race. The thing to look for with him is how fast does he run, as his seasonal best of 1:43.68 is way off his 1:42.23 PR.
Who could possibly challenge Kaki? The only other guy in the field with a seasonal best under 1:45 is Poland's Marcin Lewandowski. The reigning European outdoor champion finished second and was within a full second of Rudisha last week in Lausanne, which is quite an accomplishment. He also ran 1:45.01 in that race, so he's in good form.
The biggest threat, though, might be Morocco's Amine Laalou. He can't be discounted, as he has good credentials (8 times he's broken 1:44 in his life, 5th at the 2009 World Champs, Moroccan national record holder with a 1:43.25 PR) and is in good form, as he was third in Lausanne just .10 behind Lewandowski. More recently, Laalou absolutely destroyed everyone over the last 200 in the 1,500 in Paris on Friday, where he won convincingly in 3:32.15. Another guy bouncing back from the 1,500 in Paris is Olympic 1,500 silver medallist Nick Willis, who was fourth in Paris in 3:33.22. With a 1:45.54 PR at 800, Willis is a bit overmatched at 800, but it will be worth noting how he looks in this race as he gets ready for Worlds.
1:43.89 performer Michael Rimmer leads the British hopes, but his form hasn't been good of late. He opened with a 1:45.12 in Doha in early May but only ran 1:47 and 1:46 in his two other races that month and then didn't compete in all of June. 2007 World Championships team member Duane Solomon is the lone US hope in this race (we think Matt Scherer is rabbiting). He comes in with plenty of motivation after having been eliminated in a tough first round at the US champs after having run 1:45.86 earlier in the year.
Our Thoughts: Laalou looked fantastic in Paris on Friday, but this is an 800, not a 1,500. Kaki should dominate. Now if this race wasn't rabbitted, we'd think it would be much more interesting, as Kaki and Rudisha are unproven in unrabbitted affairs.
