The biggest story surrounding the relay was unfortunately not the race itself, but the race to be on the United States team. Lewis had eliminated himself from team selection by not attending mandatory team practices in North Carolina, but after he won the long jump a certain amount of lobbying for Lewis’s inclusion – some of it by Lewis – was promulgated. The USA (38.58) and Canada (38.68) were fastest in the heats, and after Canada won the first semi-final in 38.36, the USA then ran 37.96. The two teams had been anchored by 100m champion Bailey (8.93) and Dennis Mitchell (8.98), and a great final was in prospect. Charlie Greene, relay gold medallist in 1968 and relay coach in Atlanta replaced third-leg sprinter Tim Montgomery with the experienced Michael Marsh for the final. Drummond ran well and led Esmie by a metre at the changeover, a cautious one. Gilbert quickly caught Tim Harden, who lost ground when adjusting the baton, and the USA trailed by 2m at halfway. Bruny Surin and Marsh were virtually even through their segments, and Bailey took over 2m ahead of Mitchell, with Brazil and Sweden level 2m behind just ahead of the Ukraine. Mitchell would have needed to be Bob Hayes at his best to get anywhere close to the flying Bailey, and Canada eventually won by nearly 4m. It was not the first time the USA had lost the 4x100m relay, but it was the first time they had been outrun. Ghana were out on the track ready to race, but were disqualified before starting because they had illegally brought back a runner (Christian Nsiah) who had competed in in the first round but not the semi-final. The rule then in force was removed at the 2007 IAAF Congress.
