Shinding just the best that is all =)

All lanes are 400m. If you can't win in all lanes then you shouldn't be a sprinter.

Wow, Melaine managed to run under 53 seconds from lane 8 and got silver! I thought Spencer was going to be the one duking it out with Demus for the gold. Way to go Melaine!

The Olympics will be interesting, i'm sure both women will have to run near the world record to win...also melaine still has Olympic record and the world championship record. but good win by demus!!

@bigsmith4040 she was unfairly given lane 8 in my eyes, not sure how the lanes are choosen but, she finished second in her semi-final and got lane 8 to me thats crazy!!

@Mickeldan2 Agreed, she had the 5th fastest qualifying time going into the final and deserved a better lane. Heck, Kaliese got a better lane than her in my opinion and she barely made it the final. This whole "lane assignment is based on performance" looks very suspicious to me...

Way to do Demus. Ran a smart race.

[Bigsmith4040]

Is lane draw not decided by performance in the prelims?Way to work and run hard from start to finish.DEMUS! DEMUS! DEMUS!!!

Great Run Lashinda !!!

[Mickeldan2]

I would have just loved to see melaine and leshinda run in lanes next to each other ...never the less despite melaine lane draw she really made demus work hard for that win...great race !!! Olympics the world record is almost sure to fall..but the question is who will get it?

[broadjumper1]

DEMUS Dominates! New American Record! The Olympic Gold is in your future!
