Olympic Games
Both Amos and Ex-Akii Bua much for their successes at the Olympics has reminded, especially in Ex 1968 (Mexico City) and Akii especially in 1972 (Monaco). In both the final two Olympians ran a full 'round: Ex in the 400 meters, and Akii-Bua in the 400 meter hurdles. In these two Olympic finals, the world record was broken. There were strong contrasts inFinal "lane placings: Akii-Bua was in the inner track, one that is usually easier to slow down runners from under-rounder and shorter distance because of the reduced flow, while Ex ran outside in lane 8, which rotates during , the runners are less able to DMS their position and progress towards the runners in the streets below.

When Uganda national record has remained intact for over four decades. ToOn the other hand, was 8 Ex and beaten last place in the final 400 meters in 1968. However, had the Olympic gold medal winning Lee Edward Evans of the United States set a new world record, who survive more than two decades would be established.
