Bowman, Scholz and Paddock were the favourites, but Abrahams caused a stir when running the only 10.6 in the second round. In the semis Abrahams again ran 10.6, this time after being left 1.5m behind the field at the start. In the final the field got away at the first attempt, and Abrahams edged ahead just before halfway and won by 60cm from Scholz. He became the first European to win the Olympic 100m. Porritt finished fastest of all, moving from fifth to third in the last 25m.
