Record improvement
The US world champion Michael Johnson improved the existing world championship record twice.
- 20.05 s - third quarter-finals on August 26 with a tail wind of 0.8 m / s
- 20.01 s - Final on August 27 with a headwind of 3.4 m / s
The strong headwind of 3.4 m / s prevented faster times. World champion Johnson would certainly have undercut the twenty-second mark in better conditions. The world record of 19.72 s would also have been possible.
Preliminary round
August 26, 1991, 11:35 a.m.
The preliminary round was carried out in eight runs. The first three athletes per run - highlighted in light blue - as well as the eight fastest runners - highlighted in light green - qualified for the quarter-finals.

- ↑ a b c d Note on Alexander Sokolow: In various sources, instead of Alexander Sokolow, an athlete named Aleksandr Goremykin is listed in the result lists. There is evidence that this is the same person (e.g. Aleksandr Goremykin on peoplepill.com, accessed April 17, 2020). In addition, an identical date of birth is named for both names with March 3, 1971 (e.g. Aleksandr Goremkyn / Aleksandr Sokolov on worldathletics.org, accessed on April 17, 2020). However, z. B. at worldathletics.org both athletes are listed as two different people with different profiles - see the last-mentioned links .
