With Butch Reynolds and Michael Johnson, the United States would have been unbeatable, but Reynolds failed to finish his 400m semi- final, and Johnson injured himself at the end of his fabulous 200m. After the fastest ever times for both heats (3:00.56) and semi-finals (2:57.87), the USA were still favourites ahead of Britain and Jamaica, but not considered invincible. Kenya had been medal contenders, but injuries prevented them from fielding a team for the final.
For the first half of the final it was a battle between the top three teams, with Smith giving the USA a fine start in 44.62, some 3m clear of strong Thomas with Jamaica a further metre back. The USA still led by 4m after Harrison maintained a 4m lead – now over Jamaica, after a fine leg by Martin (43.81) who overtook Britain’s second man Baulch (44.19), a Welshman like Thomas. Jamaica lost any chance when Haughton fell while taking the baton and he did well to get up and run 45.87. Ahead of him, little (1.75/68kg) Mills ran a fine 43.62 to maintain a 6m advantage ahead of Britain’s smooth Richardson. The individual 400m silver medallist Black made up 4m of the deficit on Maybank, and the two teams were locked together until 80m to go, when Maybank drew away, with both men running 43.87 on their anchor legs.
