Roberts has envisioned the perfect 400 race.

“Run hard for the first 110 metres. Then, the
momentum carries you; running with less arm
action. At about 300 metres, accelerate to
come home. I tell the kids to think about a car.
Going down a hill, you come off the
accelerator, and when the car is on level
ground, you’re back on the accelerator …
back to full arm action.”

Perhaps, this is the formula that would
see Richards joining the elite
“Olympic 400 Medallists Club”.

Kwame Laurence is one of the Caribbean’s most
experienced sportswriters. Over the last 30 years,
he has covered many of the top athletics
competitions including the Olympics.
