Samuel Matete (ZAM), the second fastest of all-time with 47.10 in 1991, was the man to beat, and he coasted through his heat, the slowest, in 49.89. The fastest man was Erick Keter (KEN) who set a national record with 48.28. In all, 24 athletes broke the once-feared 50-second barrier. Keter was eliminated in his semi, running 49.01 in a race won by Akabusi in 48.01, with 48.47 by Patrick, the final qualifier. More surprisingly, Matete failed to qualify in the other heat; hindered by a hamstring problem he knocked over a hurdle in the lane adjacent to his in the finishing straight and, though crossing the line third in 48.86, was disqualified. Up ahead Graham was running a Jamaican record of 47.62, ahead of Young’s best ever of 47.63. Graham and Diagana led early on in the final, then were caught by Young at the fourth hurdle. Young passed halfway in 22.6 and by the ninth hurdle the tall (1.93) American’s 13 stride pattern had broken the race apart. At that point he was 5m ahead of Graham and, despite hit- ting the 10th hurdle was still going away, 7m up at the finish. He achieved the first sub-47 clocking ever. Graham held off Akabusi for second, with Diagana fourth, well ahead of Wallenlind.
