Final of any Olympic Race (excluding anything above 800m races) has 8 competitors in the final because just being it is so short that if you you do not lead or co-leader the race, then you will lose. Have more runners in a short even is toxic because they no one can use there kicks if they are blocked.

In distance event, it is acceptable not to lead in the beginning because you have different times when you want to be in control. Most professional have different types of kicks that start at different times in a long race.

Kick- usuallly a burst in speed for a rcer. Just enough energy to make him/her go faster as they reach the finish line.

Total of all lanes combined on a 400 meter track?

A standard 400-meter track consists of multiple lanes, typically eight, each measuring 400 meters in length. To find the total distance of all lanes combined, you would multiply the length of the track by the number of lanes. For example, with eight lanes, the total distance would be 400 meters x 8 lanes = 3,200 meters. Therefore, the total of all lanes combined on a 400-meter track is 3,200 meters.
