Alberto Zorrilla won the most sensational race at the Olympiad. With Borg 2 yards ahead at the 100m, and five yards at 200m, nothing appeared more certain than his win. Even when Charlton overhauled him half way in the last lap it was still in doubt. Curiosly, however, Borg, Charlton and Crabbe were so intent on their own positions that they forgot that Zorilla was steadily creeping up on the other side, to finally win a rank outsiders victory.
Borg initial lead was reduced inch by inch, amidst increasing exitement. Borg turned the last fifty a touch ahead of Charlton, with Zorilla and Crabbe close. 24m from home Zorilla took the lead, with Charlton overtaking Borg, whose strength appeared to be failing. Charlton and Zorilla were on opposite side of the bath it was difficult to judge theor respective positions. The australian appeared likely to catch up until the last few strikes. Borg was so distressed that Charlton had to lift him from the water.
