Calhoun, who had equalled the Lauer’s world record of 13.2 two weeks earlier, was favourite, but May was fastest in the first two rounds, clocking 14.0 then 13.8. He was pushed by Anatoliy Mikhailov (URS) in the second round, the Russian running 13.9. Lauer also ran 13.9 in his heat. May won the first semi handily from Jones, 13.7 (13.87) to 14.1 (14.22). Calhoun had a similar victory over Lauer in the second semi 13.7 (13.87) to 14.0 (14.15), while Mikhailov failed to finish. As in 1956, Calhoun took a metre advantage by the first hurdle in the final, and his principal opponent then tried to cut away the deficit. May was perhaps six inches behind at the last hurdle and closed to within three inches as both lunged desperately for the tape, Calhoun falling past the line in his efforts. The battle for third was similarly close, with Jones beating Lauer off the last hurdle by 30cm. The slow time is explained by the strong crosswind, which hindered the balance of the runners.
