The Commonwealth and three-times US Collegiate Champion, Cameron justified his status as favourite with a clear win. Conversely, the silver and bronze medals did not go to form. Cameron felt that the Germans Weber and Skamrahl would be his biggest rivals but Franks (pre-1983 best of only 48.74) proved to be his closest challenger. Third place went to another American, Nix, who made up four places in the finishing straight and only made the final as fastest loser.
