Dillard equalled Porter’s Olympic record of 13.9 in the first round, an auto-timed 14.01, with Davis clocking 14.0 (14.23) in his heat, almost four tenths quicker than the next best in the field. Dillard then won his semi-final in 14.0 (14.14) 3m ahead of Barnard - 14.2 (14.44). Davis won the other semi, easing up in 14.4 (14.62) after an atrocious start. Davis had a false start in the final, and while he ran well at the sec- ond attempt, he was a yard behind Dillard, a superb starter, by the first hurdle. Davis closed on Dillard, almost catching him, but Dillard was technically faultless. Davis’s rush was affected by hitting the seventh and ninth hurdles. Dillard won by three-quarters of a metre, looking entirely unruffled by the pressure he had been under, with Barnard 4m behind, well clear of Bulanchik for third.
