Both Paddock and Scholz were attempting to reach their fifth individual finals, but after winning his first two races, Paddock was edged out in the first semi-final. Scholz qualified comfortably behind Kornig in the other semi, after the German had equalled the Olympic Record of 21.6 in the previous round. Körnig was the early leader, but Williams and the surprising Rangeley slipped by at the 150m mark. Williams swept away irresistibly to win by 60cm, with Rangeley leaning across the line 15cm ahead of Körnig. Scholz was half a metre back, but inexplicably he was initially bracketed with the German for third place. He declined to take part in a run-off for the bronze medal and was placed fourth.
