I’m not sure of the lane assignments, but here are the results:

1 Carl Lewis USA 10.07
2 Calvin Smith USA 10.21
3 Emmit King USA 10.24
4 Allan Wells GBR 10.27
5 Juan Nunez DOM 10.29
6 Christian Haas FRG 10.32
7 Paul Narracott AUS 10.33
8 Desai Williams CAN 10.36

I think it’s:

Wells
Smith
Lewis

Is Desai in lane 5 or 8?

A great clip.
Every time I catch myself lacking patience in practice ,I look at this clip and tell myself to relax and “let it happen”.
