Jeremy Wariner proved that he is peaking for the world championships at the right time by running a career best 43.50 seconds in the 400m run Tuesday at the DN Galan meet in Stockholm, Sweden.
His time ties Quincy Watts for the 6th fastest 400m of all time and, along with Watts, makes him the 3rd fastest 400m runner of all time. Only Michael Johnson (43.18, 43.39, 43.44, 43.49) and Harry Reynolds (43.29) have run faster. His time also beat his own stadium record of 44.02 and guarantees him a 1 carat diamond valued at $10,000. The DN Galan meet is famous for awarding a diamond to any athlete who breaks a stadium record. Wariner beat second place finisher Kerron Clement by nearly a full second.
