<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-family:
"Arial","sans-serif"">McFarlane threw everything at it and while he notched the
fastest time of the two – 1.35 seconds faster – he paid for his speed with two
rails.<br><br></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-family:
"Arial","sans-serif"">It was a star-studded line-up including former Olympians
and champs, and McFarlane pockets $US200,000 for his efforts.<br><br></span></p>
