400 metres, Men

Date22 – 25 September 2000
StatusOlympic
LocationOlympic Stadium, Olympic Park, Sydney, New South Wales
Participants68 from 44 countries

The defending champion was Michael Johnson (USA) who had won the last four World Championships. At the 1999 Worlds in Sevilla, Spain, he had finally broken the world record with 43.18. There was probably not a bigger favorite in Sydney. The runners expected to challenge him were, well, … nobody. And that was how it worked out. Johnson won the final by six metres over teammate Alvin Harrison. A few days later he anchored the US team to the 4×400 gold medal and said adieu to his track career. In 2008, after revelations about two runners of the US 4×400 team having taken drugs in 2000, that medal was removed from the United States and Johnson willingly returned his final gold medal to the IOC.
