| Overview by IAAF |
|
 |
| Hahn won the first heat in 22.2 from Cartmell (22.3), with Hogenson taking the other in 22.8. Cartmell, Hogenson and Moulton all false started, which caused them to be set back a yard at the start of the race; it should have been two, but the clerk of the course ruled that there was not enough room to do so. Hahn got his usual quick start, and was soon five yards clear of the field. Cartmell, who began slothfully, passed Hogenson and Moulton after halfway and closed to just over two yards at the finish. Hahn’s time over the straight course was an Olympic record. |
