The boycotting American team would have been no match for this field which included the world record holder, Pietro Mennea, the third fastest man in history, Don Quarrie, the fastest man in the world from 1977, Silvio Leonard and the newly crowned Olympic 100 metres champion, Allan Wells. Random lane draw put the two semi-final winners on the outside, Leonard having the misfortune to draw lane 1, Minnea in lane 8. Wells, was just inside of Minnea in 7 while Quarrie drew lane 4. Wells just eeked into the final with a fourth place in his semi-final. Had timed qualification been involved, he only had the tenth fastest time in the semis.
Wells, who disliked using starting blocks but used them, was out fast, making up the stagger on Minnea 40 metres into the race. Coming off the turn, Minnea was two metres back, behind both Leonard and Quarrie. Minnea accelerated down the straightaway edging closer to Wells on every step. He caught Wells 5 metres before the finish and continued past him for the win, regarded as one of the great comebacks in Olympic sprinting. Quarrie was able to outlean Leonard for the bronze.
