are you retarded?
you realize anything under a 48.00 400m is AVERAGING 4 sub-12 100ms in a row?
anyone who can run under 48 for an open 400m has close to 11 flat 100m speed, maybe 11.2 or 11.3 at worst

Not sure that's true, "Realism." There are plenty of 48-second-ish 400 meter runners -- long sprinters, not people with middle distance strength -- who can't break 11.0 for 100 meters.
Actually "Realism" is downright clueless. There are runners who can break 48 but not break 12.0 for 100 meters, especially mid-distance types with great speed endurance but no need for acceleration. If he doesn't see how that's possible, he doesn't understand athletics.
Sub-five's guess was pretty close, some of those guys could break 12, a few of them could not break 12, none of them could run 11.3.
