The event became simplified under a ruling that only the top 16 seeded teams would be eligible to compete, thereby restricting the event to two rounds. Nigeria won the first heat in 38.27, whilst Germany – second fastest team prior to the Games with 38.30 – ran 38.64 and were elim- inated in sixth place. The USA won the other heat easily in 38.02, a full five metres ahead of Britain (38.53). The USA was ahead on the first leg of the final when Crawford had to slow to get the baton to Gatlin, enabling Campbell and Emedolu to catch up. Gatlin then gained more than a metre on the opposition, but Miller started out early and had to slow drastically to get the baton. Gatlin later noted that things were made worse when “I stepped on the back of his (Miller’s) shoe”. The experienced duo of Campbell and Devonish fared much better, and Britain took a lead of 2m at the last exchange when both the Nigerian and American anchors looked back before receipt, but Lewis-Francis did not. Greene closed on Lewis- Francis, but the Briton was just able to hold off the American in the closest finish in the event’s history. Nigeria finished well clear of Japan for the bronze.
