Javon took it out too soon

[Karl]

Did he employ that strategy in 2013 when he ran past everybody except Merrit on the backstretch and won the silver, holding on at the end?

Hindsight is 20/20. If he held back a little and then couldn't catch the guy for the bronze then we would say he took too long to make his move.

We speak as if the only variable was Donx and all the other runners had no other options and could not have changed their race as well.

Pon pint!!!

Could have paced himself directly behind the US & T&T, and the final kick at the end.

Yup! ...and still finished 4th!
...and even with the same wonderful split of 43.00 change it would if the other runners ran as they did, 4th! Yes, sir: it would be 4th!!!!
