With five to qualify from each of the three first round heats, there was little pressure on the favourites. Drut (14.04) eased through his race, while Foster ran the fastest of the day with 13.68. After Foster won the first semi-final in 13.45 from Munkelt (13.48), Casañas then ran 13.34, well clear of Drut (13.49) and Davenport (13.55). Drut got an electrifying start in the final, and was slightly ahead of the rest, led by Davenport, by the first hurdle, with Casañas recovering from a poor start. The top five were all in with a chance of gold until the eighth hurdle, where Drut got away from Davenport, and Casañas went past Munkelt, then Foster, before catching Davenport at the 10th hurdle. Drut led by half a metre at the 10th, and held 30cm of that lead at the finish. France had expected Drut to win, and he performed bril- liantly under that pressure, as did Davenport, competing in his fourth straight Olympics, a remarkable record.
