Merritt beats BU’s Wariner for 400 gold
The Americans went 1-2-3 in the men’s 400-meter final, but it was LaShawn Merritt who took the gold, beating Baylor’s Jeremy Wariner by nearly a full second.
Merritt hit the tape in 43.75 seconds, a personal best, while Wariner was 0.99 seconds behind with a time of 44.74. Teammate David Neville took the bronze in 44.80 seconds by diving head-first across the finish line.
Wariner was trying to match former Baylor great Michael Johnson’s feat of winning back-to-back Olympic golds in the 400.

I guess Wariner shouldn’t have fired Clyde Hart as his coach.

I was thinking the same thing, he finised almost a full second behind, and his time was way slower than his 2004 time when Hart was coaching him.
