Poland, the GDR and Cuba were considered co-favourites in the absence of the USA. In the heats Tomas González (CUB) set off too early, failing to get the baton from Silvio Leonard, who, sensing that this was his last opportunity for Olympic glory, showed his anguish by crying and beating his head against the track for a long time after the race. The Soviet Union won their heat in 38.68, and the GDR won the other heat in 38.65 from Poland (38.83). The field was level at the first exchange in the final, but Eugen Ray took 2m out of the leading teams on the second leg, losing part of it when having to slow for late-starting Bernhard Hoff. Dunecki ran a good bend for Poland on the tight inside lane, but was 1.5m behind the Soviet team at the final changeover. Woronin gained on Prokofyev, but surprisingly less than a metre, as the hurdler held on well. Behind them France eased away from Britain on the last leg for the bronze medal.
