Vincentian 800m male national record holder, Handal Roban, will line up in Tokyo, with what many perceive to be one of the most challenging sets of 800m runners ever assembled. 15 athletes are under 1:43.00 in the start list of the Men’s 800m.

It is a historic moment for St Vincent and the Grenadines as Roban is down in history as having recorded the 14th fastest legal 800m of all time in the sport’s history.
