Redemption for Nery Brenes: 400m at World Indoors

Last Updated on November 17, 2012 by Jimson Lee

Costa Rican Nery Brenes had a victory locked up in the men’s 400m at the 2012 Birmingham Grand Prix.  I projected a 45.2 or 45.3 performance with an aggressive first 200 meters.

But freak accidents occur in the last 50 meters of a 400m, and he accidently stepped on the advertising billboard and crashed.

Here is the video on YouTube.

Make no mistake about it, Nery Brenes will not crash into anything this time, except for the finish line tape.

With 3 races in 2 days, Nery Brenes won in a dominating 45.11 performance.

Here is the video on YouTube.

UPDATE: Sorry, the video is no longer on YouTube.
