The Americans were keen to make up for not gaining any medal in the
individual 100m, and were fastest in the heats (38.76) and semi-finals
(38.51). In the final Glance was level with Kokot and Aksinin, before
Jones blasted away from the opposition, passing well to Hampton with
a 1.5m lead. Hampton ran the bend well, and sent Riddick away with a
lead of 3m, which he increased slightly. Behind him, Thieme held off
Borzov, who finished his career with his fifth Olympic medal.
First 4 from each Semi advanced to Final.
