The Men's 400 metres at the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul, South Korea always promised to be a classic. The clear favourite was the legendary American Harry "Butch" Reynolds. He had set a new world record of 43.29sec only a few months before. Reynolds breezed through the heats and into the final. The final, ran on Thursday September 28, 1988, started somewhat as expected, with Reynolds holding back and saving himself for his normal strong finish. To the surprise of most watching a young American Steve Lewis went out strong from the start and gave reynolds a run for his money. Entering the home straight Lewis was leading and Reynolds charging back at him but Reynolds left it too late and the 19yr old Lewis hung on for victory in an amazing time of 43.87sec. With Reynolds second and Danny Everett third for an American clean sweep! The same trio was also involved with Kevin Robinzine in winning the 4x400m relay.
