- *A slow, tactical race from the start, with Morceli tracking El Guerrouj all the way. Estevez tried to slow the pace down even further in the second lap to allow Cacho to save energy for his fast sprint finish. With the whole field still bunched up with 600m to go, El Guerrouj put on a burst of speed which only Morceli and Cacho were able to follow, but eventually, they too were dropped as El Guerrouj wound up the pace faster and faster. Cacho sprinted past Morceli in the home straight, and the dispirited defending champion slowed down towards the finish, allowing Estevez to pip him at the line for the bronze medal.
- **In 2008, the IAAF stripped the USA's 4x400m relay team of its gold medals due to Antonio Pettigrew taking illegal drugs. New medals will be awarded to the British team after attempts to recover all the originals failed. The Americans' victory was by a margin of just 0.18 seconds.[1]
