Culson dominated much of the early race but later fell behind as Britain's David Greene surged ahead in the final 20m. Greene placed first at 48.26, Culson clocked 48.44 and South Africa's L.J. van Zyl won bronze at 48.80. Dominican phenom Felix Sanchez and South Africa's Cornel Fredericks rounded out the top five.
The 27-year-old Culson was born in Ponce. Culson took silver at the Berlin 2009 Worlds and gold at the 2009 Central American and Caribbean Championships in Mayaguez. He was also one of only six track athletes who made the Puerto Rican Olympic team at Beijing 2008.
Defending World champion Kerron Clement—the 2008 Olympics silver medalist who regularly tweets his Olympic abs—was forced to withdraw from the semi-finals with an injury.
