EVENT 5 - 400 METERS - Review

Gunner and Lesgettham had valiant efforts in this event, and despite being poor performers - they were able to finish in the middle of the pack. By avoiding the huge number, they've positioned themselves well for a run at a medal in day 2. The big loser in this event was Yellope. Yellope was 4th coming into this event, which is one of his strengths. Had he not gotten hurt, he undoubted would have climbed into the top 3. All the injured peformers were losers in this event, as they suffered through the 1 lap event and fell way off the pace.

Some interesting information: If Yellope hadn't gotten hurt he would have won this event - his time of 49.85 includes a 3 second penalty (because he was injured in leg 2 - it applies to that leg and every subsequent leg). Without the penalty he runs a 46.85. Babson, who is a C card runner, rolled his 2 best outcomes in his column and would have posted a 58.15 without the injury.
