This was a very fast race. Matthews' real life time was 44.66, but here the top four finishers all bettered that.
Matthews' time of 43.89 was just a hair behind the Olympic and World Record of 43.86 set by Lee Evans at the 1968 Mexico City Olympics.
Before the race I rolled to see if John Smith would finish and what his rating would be. Here were the possibilities: 1-4 he does not finish, 5 he finishes using his original C rating, 6 he finishes using a B rating. He rolled a 6 - the best possible outcome for him. Unfortunately, he got off to a slow start from which he could not recover.
