Xavier CarterI was curious to know whether or not any single runner has posted world-class times in all of the following events: 100m, 200m, 400m and the 800m. I didn’t expect to find any (I didn’t) but I was shocked to learn that only 4 men have run world class times in the 100m, 200m and 400m.

Here are all of the men who have run world-class times in the 100m, 200m and 400m and their best times in each event:

Robson Caetano da Silva (BRA) 10.02 | 19.96 | 45.06
Xavier Carter (at right) (USA) 10.09 | 19.63 | 44.53
Michael Johnson (USA) 10.09 | 19.32 | 43.18
Michael Marsh (USA) 9.93 | 19.73 | 45.08
