Donavan Brazier Breaks Indoor U.S. 800m Record Again
Donavan Brazier Breaks Indoor U.S. 800m Record Again
Donavan Brazier lowered his indoor 800m U.S. record on Saturday at the 2020 Millrose Games.
For the first two-plus laps of the men’s 800m at the 2020 NYRR Millrose Games, it appeared that Donavan Brazier was not having his best day. The 22-year-old, who won the 2019 world title last fall in Doha with aggressive tactics, found himself in fourth place at 400m on Saturday. Very un-Brazier-like.
But a cautious first half gave way to a scintillating finish as Brazier produced an American record at the Armory for the second straight year.

With the bell approaching, Brazier shifted into another gear as he blew away the field with a 24.89 last 200m en route to a 1:44.22 U.S. record. The run lowered the 1:44.41 national record he set last year when he finished runner-up to Michael Saruni at the Millrose Games.
On Saturday, Brazier went unchallenged as Bryce Hoppel finished a distant second in a 1:45.70 indoor personal best.
