Overview by IAAF  1964_olympic_stadium.jpg
Drayton – 20.7 (20.70) – and Roberts – 20.8 (20.89) – were the fastest in the first two rounds. Drayton opened up in the semi-final, equalling the Olympic record with 20.5 (20.58, an electrically-timed Olympic best). World record holder Carr won the other semi in 20.6 (20.69) with Jerome just edging out France’s teenage star Roger Bambuck for the last final place. Carr showed his true quality in the final. After being level with Drayton coming off the bend, he surged to a metre lead, and extended it to 2½m by the finish in 20.36 – brilliant running into a headwind. Drayton had to work hard to stay ahead of Roberts, with Jerome progressing from seventh to fourth just in front of Berruti.
Summary by Sports-reference.com
The two top 200 metre runners in the past year had been Henry Carr and Paul Drayton. Drayton was AAU Champion in 1961-62, Carr in 1964, and they shared the title in a tie in 1963. Defending champion Livio Berruti was back but nobody expected him to beat Carr or Drayton. At the US Olympic Trials, Drayton had won, with Carr placing only fourth, in his worst performance in ages. Fortunately that year there were two Trials, and Carr was placed on the team instead of third-placer Bob Hayes, who won the 100 in Tokyo. In the Olympic final, Drayton was actually no match for Carr, who won quite easily in 20.36, two metres clear of Drayton. Carr later played for three years in the NFL as a D-back and kick returner for the New York Giants.
