world Men 4x100m Relay History

Venue: Stadio Olimpico, Roma. Capp.: 65,000.
-- competitors from -- nations.
The United States and Germany were the teams to watch after times of 39.7 by the USA in both rounds and a similar 39.7 after a world-record equalling 39.5 by Germany in the first round. The USA were slightly behind Germany as the lead-off men neared the first changeover. Frank Budd approached Norton, the latter started a fraction too soon, anxious to do well after his poor individual runs. He began to move away from Budd and almost stopped as his teammate yelled at him, but took over the baton beyond the zone. Norton flew down the back straight gaining on 100m winner Armin Hary, but another poor exchange sent Stone Johnson off 3m behind Mahlendorf, and Sime received the baton a metre behind the German team. Sime powered past Martin Lauer to cross the line half a metre ahead, but the team was then disqualified. Britain, who had made the final only when Nigeria were disqualified, were promoted to third behind the Soviet team, after a first changeover between Radford and Jones which seemed suspiciously similar to that of the USA.
