I won't prolong the agony: it is the 400H. Now you can let your breath out. However the 110 hurdle's, except for the WR, is only marginally better, with the 10 best performer coming in at #856.
Since I muffed earlier, here is what I have for the 8th performer from the iaaf list and where they fit on the all time list from pela.
100: 9.93 Churandy Martina T 128
200: 20.11 Churandy Martina T367
400: 44.63 Lionel Larry T467
800: 1:43.72 David Rudisha and Abraham Chepkirwok T239
1500: 3:32.06 Mohamed Moustaoui and Haron Keitany T361
Mile: 3:50.83 Nicholas Kemoi 202
3000 St: 8:11.10 Mustafa Mohamed 428
5000: 13:02.84 Mourad Marofit 353
10000: 27:05.11 Zersenay Tadese 85
Mar: 2:06:17 Ryan Hall 25
110H: 13.21 Jason Richardson T641
400H: 48.50 Markino Buckley Outside of top 1000
HJ: 2.33 Andra Manson T395
PV: 5.80 numerous T648
LJ: 8.30 Brian Johnson and Ngonidzashe Makusha T558
TJ: 17.46 Dmitrij Valukevic T278
SP: 21.19 Peter Sack T829
DT: 68.44 Jarred Rome T327, though not on pela's list???
HT: 81.31 Andrei Varantsou T421
JT: 86.65 Vadims Vasilevskis T478
Dec: 8434 Maurice Smith 247, also not on pela's list???
So marathon is the strongest men's event going????
In my opinion it was the mens LJ. Saladino won the OG, but he was not close to last year's form. And no one else was any good.
8.73 outweighs a whole lot of poor competitions, and looking at the last few
seasons (including the olympic 2004) the overall level was decent. Obviously,
compared with the hey-days of Lewis, we are poorly served...
In only (re-)stating the obvious here: The 1.500m event lacks a power-puncher. Folks will hover around 3.29 for a few more years, because the crop of guys who have assumed the leadership role(s) are finess runners who don:t lay it out at 2.44-2.46.
