World Record: 37.50s United States Carl Lewis, Andre Cason, Dennis Mitchell, Leroy Burrell, Tokyo, Japan, September 1, 1991 Olympic Record: 37.83s United States Sam Graddy, Ron Brown, Calvin Smith, Carl Lewis, Los Angeles, United States, August 11, 1984
With Carl Lewis confirmed as the USA’s anchor after Mark
Witherspoon had to retire because of injury, the United States were hot
favourites to win. Fastest in the semis with 38.14, they were clearly
under threat from Nigeria, who won their semi-final win in an African
record 38.21. The trio of Marsh, Burrell and Mitchell ran well, but only
handed over to Lewis with a lead of a metre over Nigeria and Cuba,
with Britain 2m back after a bad final exchange. Lewis flew away from
the opposition, running 8.85 for his leg, to lead the USA to a world
record 37.40, breaking their own record by 0.10 seconds.
Semi-Final - Friday, 7th August First 4 teams from each Semi advanced to Final.
