9 competitors from 6 nations.
Heats
The heats were won by Goulding in 18.4 from Alajos Szokolyi (HUN), and by Curtis (18.0) from William Hoyt (USA). The Slovak-born Hungarian (aka Alojz Szokol) didn’t appear for the final, and Hoyt decided to concentrate on the pole vault, which he won. Curtis started faster than Goulding and was quicker between the hurdles, but Goulding’s better technique over the very solid barriers got him to the 10th hurdle in the lead. Curtis’s speed told on the run-in, and he got to the line just under half a metre ahead.
