About This Event
The 800m bridges pure speed and endurance. Gulf-nation athletes with African-origin backgrounds have dominated this event at recent Asian Games, but Japan and India have been closing the gap with homegrown talent.
Format
Heats split the field before a final of eight athletes compete over two laps. Staggered starts in heats break into a free-for-all after the first break line.
Nations to Watch
Bahrain, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia field strong 800m runners. India has improved significantly. Japan’s domestic middle-distance scene has produced competitive times.
