I posted some brief comments about that Dubai sprint before. On top of the track being very slow that night in general (R&M went 2:02 and change in the World Cup), possible reasons for the slow time in the sprint include a short run-up or a stiff wind in their face-- with the race run down a straight there is no part of the race where the wind offsets, as here. Three quarters of a mile with or against a decent wind could easily make a difference of a second, and we don't get wind or run-ups from Dubai.
Yet.
