Comment on world and European
records : Since 1951, only those records have been recognized that were set on tracks with a full curve. The two Americans Jesse Owens (1935) and Mel Patton (1948) achieved 20.3 s on straight lanes . The European record holder on a straight track was the German Helmut Körnig with 20.9 s from 1928.

- 20.9 s - final on August 29th
