@cyoungrun1 lmao I've been in cross country for 5 years so try again. And technically, the 800 is about 80% sprinting sooooo. I've ran it a lot, and if you run as hard as you can, your legs WILL feel like jelly. I have no idea what I'm talking about? Babe I've sprinted, done mid and long distance, and ran a half marathon. Get over yourself. 800s arent easy for everyone, and me mostly focusing on long distance means it's going to be a harder race for me. Thank you, next

That is one of the most controversial races of all time.

Every professional athlete is on drugs - don't kid yourself. This is a common knowledge and everyone who is in sports knows that. Every athlete since 1970s been on some kind of drugs (some easier detectable, some harder). You know how fast can a complete natural run, even best of the best naturals run nowhere near what a high school athletes run (on drugs). There's not a single athlete in the sport today that is natural - they simply do't make it there. Russia was only targeted due to political reasons. I suggest stop been brainwashed and use your brains or whatever is left to think for yourself. I agree about Semenya tho - that dude should be running with dudes - he is a real cheater

"Mariya Sergeyevna Savinova (Russian: Мария Сергеевна Савинова; born 13 August 1985) is a Russian former athlete who specialized in the 800 metres. In 2017, she was found guilty of doping, was suspended from competition for four years, and had three years of results nullified, removing the bulk of her elite career including an Olympic gold medal. In December 2014, a documentary aired on German TV in which Savinova admitted to using the anabolic steroid oxandrolone. She said, "Oxandrolone is very quickly out of my body again. It takes less than 20 days. We have tested that. My husband has very good contacts at the doping control laboratory."[1][2]
