Look at the positions of the top three guys in the first 200, DFL. With 300 to go "Symonds and Wheating at the back", only Smith had moved up until it was go time. KD and the other folks that take it to the Gray zone never seem to get it. Being in the lead at 400 doesn't mean diddly. Being in the lead at 800 is where it counts.
i got told run the first 150m fast than pase your self for basically the rest of the lap. Than in the last lap sprint your heart out. On the final 200m of the race use all the energy u can find. whenever you get energy through the race use it up so it doesn't just sit there and do nothing
Wow! Christian Smith is a friend of my friend's older brother. I met him my freshman year of track season after this had just happened and he was telling us about it. Crazy stuff to see it for myself.
best part of the whole thing is at 3:48 when Symmonds looks at the scoreboard and double-takes when he realizes his teammate is going to Beijing with him. the look of shock is priceless hahahaaha
@dcsolorunner Listen up. Oregon T&F, Oregon T&F and University of Oregon. That is Nick Symmonds', Christian Smiths', and Andrew Wheating's affiliations. So they are indeed, Oregonians from a track and field standpoint. You should see a key word in there: OREGON. You're welcome.

This was an incredible race. All three Oregonians make the Olympics in Oregon. You couldn't even write this stuff.
