After winning the world title in 1977 and 1979 Aleksandr Romankov of the USSR had every right to be considered favourite for the Olympic title. His title hopes was increased when 1976 Olympic champion Fabio Dal Zotto withdrew himself from consideration for a place on the Italian team. Romankov would have won the Olympic title had he beaten teammate Volodymyr Smyrnov in the final pool but a defeat forced him into a three-way barrage with Smyrnov and Frenchman Pascal Jolyot, the reigning World silver medallist. Smyrnov beat Jolyot with ease but then Jolyot scored an equally decisive win over Romankov. Smyrnov then defeated Romankov in a close fought match to claim the title. Volodymyr Smyrnov’s life ended in tragic circumstances. He was competing at the 1982 World Championships when his opponent’s weapon broke, pierced his mask and went into his brain. He died a few days later.
