– why aren’t all middle/long distance athletics track events in multiples of 400? Why the 1500 metres and not 1600 metres so that the race is an exact number of laps.

I don’t have an answer but did want to add that it is frustrating being a former decathlete because you work so hard training and competing for so many events, the last of which is the 1500m run, and they don’t even let you run a full mile! (Although I’m sure anywhere else that uses metric won’t be as frustrated)
