Are you serious? 43-44 to enter in final?
In Berlin the day of the 400m it started to rain like hell, the guys couldn’t warm-up. Wariner and Merritt started to do strides under a crazy rain, before the officials allowed people to enter in the warm-up track which is inside the Berlin stadium (required a 15min walk to get there), that is the usual warm-up track for ISTAF meeting. While warming-up, we were told there was a 40min delay in the competition. The temp was low and humidity very high, great contrast with the previous days. I estimate the guys lost about half a second due to the conditions.
