Even he surprised after that win and time as he felt a bit leggy after the flight to the States. Seems like all he needed was to have that pace in a race and he was not only comfortable but had enough in hand to kick at the end. Would mean a 3.32 ish 1,500m is possible

What a talent hopefully he is managed well to limit injuries because the sky looks the limit.

That's some run.

I hope his team really look after the lad. What a talent!
