This event was seriously depleted because of the “western” boycott. Silvio Leonard, who had been the world’s number one six years earlier when aged 18, was the favourite, with Woronin, Wells and Eugen Ray as strong outsiders. Wells was the fastest in the first two rounds, with 10.11, ahead of the surprising Petrov (10.13), eliminating Crawford (fifth in 10.28) from further action. Leonard won his heat in 10.16. Petrov edged Leonard (10.39-10.40) in the first semi-final, with Wells winning the other race in 10.27, the wind now blowing at 45° against the runners. In the final, Leonard was drawn in lane 1, with Wells out in lane 8. Aksinin and the Cuban number two, Lara, started best, with Leonard catching them at 30m and Wells about 30cm behind. Wells, who had been compelled by the rules to use starting blocks, caught Leonard at 80m and the two hit the line as one. On replay it was seen that Wells had won with a better lean. Wells later estimated that with better, but legal, wind conditions the time would have been 10.05, and the pub- lished wind reading of +1.11 was clearly incorrect. In his first race after the Games, Wells ran against the leading American, Stanley Floyd, winning 10.19 to 10.21.
