1m57s, which was enough to place first in the podium, gaining the athlete the prize money and additional exposure to sponsors, earning them a major sponsorship deal that allowed them to finance the off season training and take care of their family, who sacrifices with the athlete being on the road all the time vs 2m4s, who placed fourth, just off the podium and was relegated to relatively obscurity, and who went back to their desk job.
