Gil Roberts is one of the worst looking fast guys that I have ever seen!
Going on this photo in isolation, his action looks a lot like that of Butch Reynolds…
I can’t find video of the race, but to me at least he looks A LOT worse than Butch did. Maybe it was just this race, he just doesn’t look like he should be running sub-46, much less sub-45. Overwhelming desire can get results on occasion, especially in the 400/400h, and this may have been one of them.
