Summary

Starting in lane 2, co-world record holder Don Quarrie was out to the lead from the gun. Only Millard Hampton was in near contact. Through the turn, Hasely Crawford pulled up and eventually limped home almost a minute behind the field. Coming off the turn Dwayne Evans on the outside in lane 7 and future world record holder Pietro Mennea across the track in lane 1 were battling for bronze with Bogdan Grzejszczak the next pursuer. Quarrie won the gold medal, with finishing close second. Meanwhile, Evans had the stronger finish to hold off Mennea. The fastest finish of all was by Rui da Silva, who came off the turn in dead last but made up several metres to take fifth.
