Video of M40 final of 400-meter dash at Riccione worlds

Canadian sprinter Jimson Lee, reading about Robert Thomas and his French lodging offer, sent me a video of the M40 400 final at Riccione in which Robert took second to Italy’s Enrico Saraceni, 49.23 to 50.07. (Fellow Americans David Jones and Junior Ripy were fifth and sixth in this race.) Click and enjoy!

Jimson’s blog, BTW, features a video of the M40 4×4 timed final, in which Canada set a national record but lost the gold to Italy even though they ran in separate heats. It turns out that both heats could have been accommodated in one race.
