The Jamaican pulled ahead of Gay early in the race and never let up, finishing in 9.58 seconds.

Michael Johnson, USA, 43.18.Many expected Johnson to finally break Butch Reynolds mark of 43.29 seconds, set in 1988, but 1999 seemed a doubtful year for the record to fall. Johnson suffered from leg injuries that season, missed the U.S. Championships and ran only four 400-meter races before the World Championships. By the day of the World final, however, it was clear that Johnson was in top form and that Reynolds? record was in risk. Johnson pulled away from the pack in mid-race and sprinted into the history books.
