Last nights amazing 4x100m win for the GB&NI team reminded me of this:

You put the two men from the last leg up against each other in a straight 400m race and Pettigrew would win 99 or 100 times out of a 100, but there's something about running as a team that does something for certain people and Akabusi was one of those people.
