Who ran the fastest 400m at the Olympics? Not the new champion Jeremy Wariner, or the individual silver medallist Otis Harris. It was a third American, Derrick Brew who finished behind those two in the 400m final.

When it came to the 4x400m Relay, Brew's 43.6 gave his team a huge lead, which grew to a record margin after further sub-44 legs by Wariner and Darold Williamson. The fastest non-US man in the final was Australia's Clinton Hill, whose 44.61 anchor moved his team up from fifth to second.

However, Chris Brown (BAH) clocked 44.35 in the heats.

For the victorious US women's team, every woman was timed faster than 50 seconds but the quickest runner was Russian anchor-woman Natalya Antyukh (49.43).

Notable in the heats was the 49.85 by Indian record holder Manjeet Kaur, who was not even entered for the individual event.
