The event was marred by the failure of Eddie Hart and Rey Robinson to appear for the second round due to a schedule misunderstanding by US management. The pre-Games favourite was Borzov, who had beat- en the top Americans in the USA in 1971. In the second round he set a European record of 10.07 ahead of Robert Taylor, the sole surviving American, and Hasely Crawford (10.18). Borzov (10.21) and Taylor (10.30) won the semis, which saw the excellent Greek, Papageorgopoulos (10.24 heat), unable to start. Kornelyuk, the little Soviet star, started fastest in the final, but was quickly caught by Borzov, whose powerful but relaxed style carried him more than a metre clear by 60m. Easing in the last 5m, and lifting his arms in triumph, Borzov finished a metre ahead of the valiant Taylor, with Lennox Miller gaining a second medal a further metre back. Speculation was rife as to whether Hart would have beaten Borzov. The answer will never be known – but as a possible guide Taylor finished 0.05 seconds behind Hart when the latter won the US Trials in a hand timed 9.9.
