Two things are certain in this race: Alberto has the worst start of any 400 meter runner in history. And he also has the greatest stride we've ever seen (3:21). 46 years later, and I've never seen a more beautiful stride.

@@depaola63 - I measured his stride in the 1977 European Cup 800m race at 2.40m so it must be slightly longer at 400m - actually, it is 2.50m which converts to 8 feet 2.4 inches, so 9 feet and 9.5 feet are a little exaggerated even though they were often quoted.

He runs the back straight and top curve so fast! he runs the first 100m in about 11.20 sec, reaches the top curve at around 21.20 sec and reaches the home straight at 32.00 sec. That's an approximate 20.80 seconds for 200m with a 10 second 100m on the back straight. He was flying. Funnily enough, despite his bad start, his last 100m was slower than his first (he reaches the home straight at 32.00 and finishes in 44.28 for a 12.28 last leg compared to 11.20 for the first). He did all his work on the back straight pretty much

Cuba has 1% of the population of India. Cuba wins on average 15-20 medals every Olympics. India wins on average one (1) medal per Olympics.

Dang, I remember 76 Olympic like it was yesterday...I was 12 years old at the time..The 3 biggest names that came out of there that I still remember ( due to it was on the news daily back then ) very well was Bruce Jenner, Nadia Comanici and Sugar Ray Leonard.. They sort of became an instant household names..

@@amuroray9115 I'm what you call a 'Navy Brat'..Meaning, dad was in the military ( Navy ) and in the summer of 76 we just moved back from NAS Corpus Christi Texas to NAS Lemoore in California...I tell you what, growing up in the military base was the best ever back then. We were like one huge family..It was the best time of our lives that I wouldn't change for anything. So miss the 70's..
