Kraenzlein improved the Olympic record to 15.6 in his heat – a world best over the metric distance. Behind him, Moloney (16.0e) and McLean (16.0e) were much quicker than Pritchard, winner of the other heat in 16.6. Lécuyer made the final without having to run, as his oppo- sition didn’t turn up. Moloney and McLean then won repechage heats to qualify. McLean got a flying start in the final, and led by 4m at the first hur- dle. However, Kraenzlein was the finest hurdler of his era, the first to use the single arm thrust technique used by all the modern top hurdlers, and the first to run over the hurdles rather than jump. He caught McLean by the eighth hurdle, and crossed the line 2.5m ahead. Again, it was a world’s best for 110m hurdles, though his best over the slightly shorter 120y (109.73m) was 15.2.
