Five of the seven heats were won with times quicker than 49 seconds, with Matete running the fastest ever preliminary in 48.21. The standard was very high, and continued in the semi-finals, with 14 of the 16 con- testants running under 49 seconds. Heading the list was local man Adkins, who won the first semi-final with 47.76 from Swedish veteran Nylander, who set a national record of 48.21. Behind them US Trials winner Bryan Bronson ran out of gas in the last 100m and finished last in 50.32. Davis, a recently converted 400m man, won the other race in 47.91. Behind him Teixeira, Robinson (both 48.28), Neil Gardner (JAM, 48.30), Laurent Ottoz, son of 1968 110m hurdles medallist Eddy (48.52), Ibou Faye (SEN, 48.84) and Marc Dollendorf (BEL – 48.91) all ran lifetime bests. Only Matete, third in 48.28, missed his personal record. Nylander, in his last serious attempt at a championship, ran hard from the gun, leading to halfway in 22.9, with Adkins and Robinson right with him. Matete, in fifth at the fifth hurdle, and not enthralled with his lane 1 draw, moved up, and he and Adkins were level at hur- dles 8-10, with Nylander 4m behind and a metre clear of Davis, de Araújo and Robinson. Adkins accelerated away from Matete on the run-in despite being half blinded from all the camera flashbulbs in the crowd, while Davis astonishingly gained 4m on Matete in the last 40m, leaving Nylander to settle for fourth despite setting his second national record within 22 hours.
