Cuba (2:59.13) edged the USA (2:59.14) and Kenya (2:59.63) in the heats, but the Americans were expected to win easily, the only question mark being the health of Johnson, not fully recovered from his stomach problems. Valmon ran a fine opening leg of 44.5 to give the USA a 4m lead over Britain, led off by Black’s 44.9. Watts won the race on the second leg. The 400m winner sped through a 43.1 lap to lead Britain by nearly 20m. Johnson maintained the USA lead without showing his real form, and Lewis anchored with 43.4 to finally break the 2:56.16 world record set 24 years earlier. A long way behind them, Hernández edged past Regis in the last 50m to win silver for Cuba.
