no
vid shows he is ~ 1.5m ahead of a faint track marking as clock with 0.01s error flickers to 3'17 ->
~ 12.89
his last 400 shows him ~ 6.5m behind 1100 when clock flickers to 2'36 ->
~ 52.78
Blind as well as stupid I see.
How can you offer a split for a moving last 100m to the nearest 1/100th, when they don't even show tenths on the screen clock? Moron.
It's plain as anything that Aouita is over the 90m line when the clock just moves to 3:18, meaning he actually reaches it more like 3:17.9, giving him a last 90m of 11.8. This is = to 13.1 for last 100m.
The 100m line is on the track but faint, and Cram hits that as the clock turns to 3:16. This means he covers the last 100m in 13.6, which ties in with the official IAAF split for him of 13.7.
At that point Aouita is no more than 2 strides, 4m or 0.5 secs behind him.
That again comes to a 13.1 last 100 for Aouita.
Gonzales is 1m past the 100m line when it flicks round to 3:17, meaning he hits it around 3:16.8. So he's about 6m behind Cram, and a stride, or 2m behind Aouita, who is therefore 2/3 of the way between Cram & Gonzales. 2/3 of 0.8 is 0.5. So whichever way you look at it, Aouita's last 100 is certainly outside 13.0 and more like 13.1.
