1991 World Championships in Athletics – Men's 800 metres

These are the official results of the Men's 800 metres event at the 1991 IAAF World Championships in Tokyo, Japan.

There were a total number of 42 participating athletes, with three qualifying heats, two semi-finals and the final held on Tuesday August 27, 1991.

In the final, against character, Mark Everett, in a dark blue USA uniform took the lead at the break squeezing out José Luíz Barbosa.

Along the home stretch, Johnny Gray in a white USA uniform worked his way around Barbosa and then Everett to take the lead just before the bell completing the first lap in 51.01.

Billy Konchellah was the next to pass Gray through the turn and sprinting wide on the outside, Everett had come back to challenge.
