Hary’s auto-timed Olympic best was equalled by Jerome in the second round, and then beaten by Figuerola’s 10.31 in the next race. Championship favourite Bob Hayes opened up in the semis, running an awesome 9.91, aided by a wind of 5.3. Ten minutes later the wind was -1.2 for Jerome’s 10.37. Hayes drew the chopped up inside lane for the final, with Figuerola in 3, and Jerome in lane 5. These three quickly drew clear in the final, with the burly (1.82/86kg) Hayes exhibiting enormous power in drawing away at the 30m mark to win by 2m from two superb sprinters. It was the most dominant piece of 100 metre run- ning in Olympic history. A measure of Hayes’s quality as a 100m man was that by the end of 1964 his tally of legal 9.3 100 yard or 10.2 100m clockings totalled 29, more than the total of his principal rivals Jerome (15) and Figuerola (13), despite them starting their international careers before him.
