There were only four starters, with the event easily won by Britain’s Edgar Bredin, with a 4-metre margin over Frenchman Jules Bouchoux. Bredin also won the professional event over 400 and 1,500 metres, with Bouchoux finishing third in the 400. Bredin was best known as a 400 metre runner, having set the world record of 48.5 at a meet in London in June 1895, a mark which was still the best on record at the time of the 1900 Olympics. He later moved to the United States in 1907.
