I wish to to know the correct usage of "than" in the following sentences
[1]. The melting temperature of solvent A is comparatively lower than those/than that of other binary solvents involving B and C manufactured by the firm.
[2]. Usain Bolt ran his 100 m final race at London 2012 faster than in 100 m race at Rio 2016.
How to modify [2] such that the second "100 m race" does not appear.
Thank you—Suddhasattwa Ghosh, India

My first answer is the same as @Scu11y, and for the same reason. I also do not see that implication.
For the second case, I would actually edit it as:
or
(where "that" refers to "his 100 m final race"; the first one without "that" is sufficient though, since the context is obvious here.)
