The USA were the only team to duck under 39 seconds in the heats, and proceeded to clock 38.54, the fastest time ever at low altitude, in the semi-finals. The team excluded Rey Robinson, with coach Stan Wright preferring Larry Black after his fine curve running in the 200m. Six of the teams in the final ran between 38.86 and 39.06 in the semi-finals, with Cuba unlucky not to qualify with 39.04 in the heat won by the USA. In the final Black ran a fine opening leg, held by the explosive little Kornelyuk, and Taylor and Tinker – the latter a cousin of Black – opened up a 4m lead. The hoped for duel between Hart and Borzov was spoilt, and Hart came home the winner with a world record-equalling 38.2. Borzov gained half a metre on Hart but was never in a position to catch the Americans.
