Weightman-Smith was fastest in the first round with 14.8, while six others ran 15.0, and he was again quickest in the semis, this time run- ning a world record 14.6. The first two heats saw Dye and Anderson clock 14.8, with Sweden’s teenager Eric Wennström just eliminated behind Gaby as both ran 14.9 behind Dye. Another Swede, former world record holder Sten Pettersson also missed the final by one place. Collier was fastest off the blocks in the final, with Atkinson just behind him. Atkinson and Anderson soon went clear of Collier, while Weightman-Smith was hindered by smacking a hurdle hard. In a desper- ately close finish Atkinson edged Anderson by less than six inches, with Dye a similarly slim margin clear of Weightman-Smith for fourth place.
