Patryk Dobek of Poland ran a new PB - 1:43.73 - in winning the 800m against a really stacked field.
Dobek is a former 400m hurdler, who just started running the 800m this year. Incredible.
Also, a new name, Krzysztof Roznicki, is just 17 yrs old and ran 1:44.51. That's mind blowing!! The kid is just high school age!
Poland is super deep in the 800m with Dobek, Borkowski, Lewandowski, Kzczcot, and now Roznicki.
I'm really excited about the 800m this year!
The Poles and the Brits are overflowing with talent in this event, plus Clayton Murphy of the US is looking very strong as well.
