Italy were fastest in the heats with 39.7, as compared to 39.8 for the United States and France. The US team ran 39.5 in the semis, with six other teams on 39.6; both rounds featured Hayes making up 2-3m on the opposition for the American team. Both Trenton Jackson and Mel Pender were injured in Tokyo so 200m men Drayton and Stebbins were brought into the US lineup for the final. Zieliński led on the first leg with Genevay and McNeill just behind, and Drayton, with a slight injury, half a metre back; this became 2m after a poor pass. Maniak and Foik kept Poland ahead of France and Jamaica, as the USA showed good speed but abject baton passing. Hayes took the baton in around fifth place, 3m behind Dudziak and Delecour. With virtually all eyes on him he swept past the field within 30m and kept going, winning by 3m in a world record 39.0. Times of 8.5 and 8.6 for Hayes’ leg seem a little generous, as he made up 6m on a man who ran 10.52 in the individual event, suggesting a time in the order of 8.80-8.90 for his 100m ... similar to Carl Lewis’s time in Barcelona 28 years later on a rather better surface. Hayes himself later asserted that had he run the individual 100m with the same alacrity as his relay leg, his time would have been less than 10 seconds.
