Which profile would you pigeonhole Alberto Juantorena? Question mark. Or
exclamation point?
Juantorena aside, if you look at the 800 as an event, the 800/1500m types
come out on top of the 400/800m types. Other than Juanto there hasn't
been anyone who has had a shot at making an Olympic or World Championship
final in both the 400 and 800 in the last 30 years. There are those who

Athletes are not pigeons. Kenyans in particular have shown an amazing
virtuosity across a range of endurance distances.

Seb Coe split 45.xx on 4x4 relay, and Borzakovski has run 45.84
last summer as preparation for Sydney. Bucher has run 46.32.
None of them trained specifically for 400 as far as I know.

Actually, Kipketer ran a 400 open a few years ago and ran 48-something.
Certainly not his best, but it shows he doesn't have the leg speed to run
the 400. He can though break 4:00 in the mile
I think if the best 800 guys ran the 400 we would see a few 45s, a bunch
of 46s and a whole lot of
Indeed, Marcello Fiasconaro was an interesting runner. Born 1949 in South
Africa as son to an Italian soldier who had been deatined in RSA during WW II.
Was a rugby player who took up 400 to improve his speed in the winter 1970-71.
His third race landed at 46.5! Held an Italian passport and went
