[Stonigut]

Madness, what's going on?????

The track is on steroids!!!

[Jangle]

wth??? where did this come from and who the hell is Peter Mathews???

[Stonigut]

What, Matthews came 3rd or 4th at trials ran 45.2 or something like that so he just chopped .5 seconds of pb. Wth??

[Jangle]

there was no talk of him prior to

[Islandman]

Must be the track, aided by ideal conditions.

[Stonigut]

Yeah, you right, the least heralded of the fastest four, I guess.

[Stonigut]

Those other two guys with Rusheen have run 43 plus this year and Rusheen has shown massive improvement this year and lots of determination but 43.93 is like jumping off the planet for him!

[Islandman]

Yes but in the first round?

He says he could have gone faster and he is probably right, but I wait with great interest to see who can bring it again in the semis.

[Hortical]

Rookie mistake, only expend the right amount of energy to qualify to the next rounds. Will he have more gas in the tank?

[Peter R]

Is this a national record?

[Stonigut]

Problem is he had no choice, race was hot and could not risk fastest losers route. The real issue is how do you place two known 43 plus runners in same heat? However not as simple as that the 400 seems to be undergoing a revolution in the talent its attracting, talent and temperament upgrades all around, this is as deep an event as I have ever seen.

[Willi]

of course..old record was 44.40.

[Islandman]

I agree, he didn't have much choice, he was just running to qualify.

[Gamma]

That's right. No fastest qualifier crap because you don't know what is to come
