Recall that 2 US sprinters, Eddie Hart and Rey Robinson, were given the wrong schedules and so missed their qualifying heats for the 100M. Both sprinters later participated in the Gold Medal 4x100 relay. Borzov had very good technique, but his 10.14 was SLOW. The Americans (West African decent) both posted times around 9.9.
