United States was later disqualified for a fault in passing the baton, the same mistake was made in the final by world record holder and main favourite German team.[1]
At the 1920 Summer Olympics, d'Arcy again reached the semifinals of the 100 m and also ran in the heats of the 200 m. He ran again the third leg in the British 4 × 100 m relay team which finished fourth. After the Games he moved to Rhodesia, where he lived until his death in 1961.[1]
