Twenty men ran quicker than 3:40 in the first round as only one heat saw a race slower than that level. Kibet was the fastest heat winner – 3:36.32, while Chesire won the slow race – 3:44.06. Morceli, the big favourite, won the first semi in 3:39.22 with a 53.0 last lap, while Suleiman won the other heat in a startling 3:34.77 – the fastest prelim- inary race ever – ahead of Cacho, 3:34.91. Again, no-one wanted to set the pace in the final, so Chesire found himself in the lead, and took the field though three laps, passing the bell in 2:49.7. Cacho was third, and Morceli, not fully recovered from an early season injury, buried in the pack. He didn’t react when Cacho made his move. With 250m to go a gap opened on the inside and Cacho darted through it and was never headed. Leading Chesire by a metre off the final bend he eventually won by 4m despite looking round six times. His last lap was a scintil- lating 50.3
