Tokyo 1991 proved to be a turning point for Christie, who announced his retirement after finishing behind three Americans despite clocking 9.92. He changed his mind and came back for his best ever year in 1992, taking the Olympic title. Carl Lewis, meanwhile, had a poor year as a sprinter in 1992, failing to make the US team for the 100m. But that did not stop some observers saying the Olympic final was “soft” in Lewis’s absence.
Christie comfortably beat Lewis one month before Stuttgart and did so again at the World Championships. His winning time of 9.87 was achieved with a following wind of 0.3m compared with the 1.2m enjoyed by Lewis in the 1991 final.
Cason led the American challenge, clocking personal bests in the second round and semi-final. In the final he was even quicker, and was in front 70m before being caught by the long-striding Briton. Mitchell repeated his 1991 bronze.
Lewis improved from last at 60m to fourth place, and was therefore beaten for the first time in a World or Olympic 100m final. Six of the eight finalists had also contested the Tokyo final two years earlier. “I did not think I ran that fast,” said the 33 year-old Christie. “I thought that I might have done a 9.92. I concentrated on getting a good start.”
