Round H Team date Heats 3 24 07.08
World record and Olympic record: 2:56.16 Vincent Matthews, Ron Freeman, Larry James, Lee Evans Mexico City, Mexico October 20, 1968 World record and Olympic record: 2:56.16 Danny Everett, Steve Lewis, Kevin Robinzine, Butch Reynolds Seoul, South Korea October 1, 1988
Cuba (2:59.13) edged the USA (2:59.14) and Kenya (2:59.63) in the
heats, but the Americans were expected to win easily, the only question
mark being the health of Johnson, not fully recovered from his stomach
problems. Valmon ran a fine opening leg of 44.5 to give the USA a 4m
lead over Britain, led off by Black’s 44.9. Watts won the race on the
second leg. The 400m winner sped through a 43.1 lap to lead Britain
by nearly 20m. Johnson maintained the USA lead without showing his
real form, and Lewis anchored with 43.4 to finally break the 2:56.16
world record set 24 years earlier. A long way behind them, Hernández
edged past Regis in the last 50m to win silver for Cuba.
