A new trivia.

[IFK_Vaxjo]

You seem to like trivias around here so I have one for you...but I don't know the correct answer.
( It's for a quiz I'm doing)
In EC in 1974 the world leading 400m runner missed the final. Who was he?
If you don't know about the results in the EC( in Rome) maybe some of you have all time lists from thoose days so you can help me find the best europe athlete in the one lap that year.

Could have been Alfons Brijdenbach of Belgium.

Re: A new trivia.

easy enough to look up in old T&FN's but I'm not at home, but I bet someone else can cough it up for you. If that hasn't happened by the time I go home in 3 or 4 hours I'll see if I can help.

Jon is right, as Mr. B was 4th in the world lists for 74 (which is hardly the world's leader) and did not run the ECs (at least not the final)

Aren't you forgetting a certain David Jenkins (45.18 in 1974)...? He's European, too!

But he was in the final...




By the way thanks to all of you...
