– 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.
In: 61
Because tracks are 400 meters, and despite how everyone feels about the imperial system of measurement nobody has every tried to run a 4 minute 1.6 k. Everyone wanted to run a 4 minute mile.
