Pérec was the fastest athlete in each round, with times of 22.62, 22.24 and 22.07 before the final. However, she was only marginally faster than Ottey who won the other semi-final in 22.08. The 400m winner towed Onyali (22.16), Cuthbert (22.24) and Miller (22.33) to fast times, while Malchugina (22.35) followed Ottey home.
The Jamaican started best in the final, and led by half a metre from Sturrup and a metre from the rest at halfway. Pérec was fifth, but her strength in the 200m was known to be her finishing power. The Frenchwoman’s giant strides cut down the field in the straight, and she caught the tiring Ottey with 15m to go, and won going away by a metre. Ottey won her fourth medal in five 200m finals!
Writing in the ATFS Golden Jubilee book in 2000, Swedish expert Lennart Julin noted that “a blatant lane violation by Pérec … passed unnoticed by both judges and media.”
