Which athlete won the men's 400 metres at the 2004 Athens Olympics?

Jeremy Wariner won the men's 400 metres at the 2004 Athens Olympics.

The American ran 44.00 seconds for gold. His teammates Otis Harris and Derrick Brew finished second and third, giving the United States a clean sweep of the individual 400-metre medals.

Wariner was coached by Clyde Hart, who had also guided Michael Johnson. At 20, Wariner became the youngest Olympic 400-metre champion since 1952 and took over a title associated with Johnson, the 1996 and 2000 champion.

The 400 metres is one complete lap of a standard outdoor track. Olympic finals are run in separate lanes, and athletes must remain in their assigned lanes throughout the race.
