Indeed it is. I thought it surprising that, despite the Kenyan advances in
recent years, the national 800m record is 16 years old. Having said that,
it's a very very good record, set when second to Joaquim Cruz's 1:41.77 WR
near-miss after the LA games. At the time it was the 3rd fastest ever run -
even faster than Coe's 1:42.33 WR from 1979.
A world 800m a-t list can be found at Peter Larsson's excellent website:
