The pre-meet favourite had been world champion Michael Johnson, who had beaten Marsh 19.79 to 19.86 in the US Trials. Unfortunately, poor Johnson contracted a stomach virus a month before the Games while in Spain, and was a shadow of his normal self, finishing 6th in his semi-final in a pedestrian 20.78. Meanwhile, Marsh had been estab- lishing himself as the potential winner, running the fastest time in each round: 20.38, 20.08 and an astonishing 19.73. That missed the world record by 0.01, was the fastest ever legal time at low altitude, and was nearly 0.4 quicker than the opposition. Expectations were high that the Pietro Mennea’s 1979 world record of 19.72 would be broken in the final, but the tension of the moment and a headwind put paid to that. Marsh took the lead from Fredericks at halfway, and cruised to victory more than a metre clear of the Namibian. Bates, who would later forge a career in the NFL, went from seventh at halfway to claim the bronze from the inside lane ahead of the ’88 bronze medallist da Silva. Regis, who had run 20.09 behind Marsh in the semi-final, was a disappointing sixth.
