The three Bs - Ball, Büchner and Barbuti - were the most impressive in qualifying, the Canadian and German winning their semi-finals in 48.6, and Barbuti, the US Trials winner, running 48.8 in both the sec- ond round and semi-final. With a view of all the finalists at the start, Barbuti went all out, with Phillips and Büchner attempting to stay with him. By the start of the finishing straight, Barbuti had a lead of 5m, but held only half a metre of that advantage by the finish. The official times of 48.2/48.4 for second and third were clearly too conservative. Barbuti’s win was the USA’s only individual track gold medal of 1928, America’s worst-ever showing.
