but the 800 the runners can pace themselves a little bit and play coy with each other. No time for that in the 400 and the last 100 is like hitting a wall but you run on will like you have a gun to your head. The 400 is a nightmare.

+Lauren Clark it's called a stagger I think. if everyone starts at the same place then each person would have a longer distance to run. so say the person in lane 4 starts the same place as the person in lane 1, the person in lane 4 would have additional running to do. as you can see the track has curves and of course all curves aren't as equal. hope this help

RORORO999 First, what's with the color card? These are athletes/people. I don't care what color they are. My point is that the Russian girl came off the corner in 1st and got 6th. That's just a very tough pill to swallow and to that point "she looked devastated". That comment stands on it's own. She's on the side of the track weeping. I'm sure the others were disappointed. Sure. No one else is on the side of the track weeping.

Dear Sanya! I want to thank you so much for being such a great role model and inspiration. Motivation and inspiration comes and goes, but you have been my motivation since I first saw you until today. All your accomplishments are beyond measure but what really leaves me in awe is the message behind them. You gave me the faith to believe and trust and that in the end it is not so much about what you get but who you become. Your road to Rio only prooved how powerful the human spirit can be and how powerful you really are was shining through the way you handled the situation after your last race. In life nothing lasts forever so to be able to take everything as an opportuninty no matter what you are against up, for me , is a heroic act and exactely the way I want to live my life. Thank you for showing me what it means to be your best version day in day out. You commited, you persevered and you finished with grace. I wish you all the best with every fiber of my being! And I am sure that you will continue to push-pace-position and poise (pray). Sorry for my english it is not my mother tangue. Janette

Our fastest female 400m runner runs a 58, and she has a very respectable track scholarship. This is not a cheap school, either. I guarantee you your friend already has schools looking to recruit her. A time of 58 seconds as a sophomore in high school is fantastic and she will undoubtedly have many schools who want her, to be able to choose from.

AF ran 48.85 sec in her split...there was an initial mis-reporting of the times....it was trotter- 49.57, Allyson (with a running start)- 48.85, francena- 49.39 and Sanya- 49.07....total time 3:16.88 By the way AF's personal best in 400m is just 49.59 secs...SRR won this race in 49.55 secs.......

Sanya Richards-Ross was born in Jamaica but when she was in middle school her family moved to the U.S.A. So she didn't come to the States on a scholarship.

Clariece Warmington If American athlete were representing their country of origin there would be no one to compete. The very basis of the American people are immigrants: they are a nation that exists mostly due to the immigration of Europeans, Africans and Asians. I would just like to point out that Ohuruogu is a very british name... And if I went nation by nation I'd find similar cases...

Yes, she was born in JAM, but she's only run under the USA flag 🇺🇸
