400m Heat 2 – 2015 World ChampsHeat 2 of the 400m Quarter Finals. 2 guys sub 44 (Masrahi & McDonald), and 44.19 is 3rd by Makwala. This is only the 1st round!

Posted by SpeedEndurance.com on Sunday, 23 August 2015

Here is a summary, provided by Ian Graham:

In 1983 (1st world champs) 45.05 won the final

In 1987, 1991, 1995, and 1997 two people broke 45 seconds in the quarter finals, when there used to be 4 rounds of competition.

In 1993 four people broke 45 seconds in the quarter finals, when there used to be 4 rounds of competition.

In 1999 three people broke 45 seconds in the quarter finals, when there used to be 4 rounds of competition.

In 2001 (when the change to three rounds first took place) only one man broke 45 seconds in round one.

Interestingly enough… the 2003 heats where also held on August 23rd, and there was no one sub 45.00 seconds, with the fastest heat time was 45.13

In 2005 three people went sub 45.00 seconds in the heats

In 2007 six people went sub 45.00 seconds in the heats

In 2009 the fastest heat time was 45.00

In 2011 four people went sub 45.00 seconds in the heats

In 2013 only one person went sub 45.00 seconds in the heats
