The favourite was Robles, who in June had lowered the world record to 12.87. Reigning champion Liu Xiang and 12.95 performer Oliver were regarded as the most likely to beat the Cuban. The last two heats were dramatic as first Terrence Trammell - silver medallist in Atlanta and Athens - pulled out injured after one hurdle. Then in the final heat, Liu appeared incomfortable as he practised his starts. He was clearly nursing a foot injury, but settled down to race. After the first start there was a recall and after that point Liu withdrew, shocking the 91,000 crowd. His coach later appeared in tears on Chinese television which also showed behind-the-scenes coverage of Liu before the heat when he could be seen kicking a wall in frustration. Oliver (13.30) was the fastest in the first round, and the next day ran 13.16 in the last quarter-final, after Payne (13.24), Robles (13.19) and Wignall (13.36) had won the other heats. Robles looked very easy win- ning his semi-final in 13.13, ahead of Payne (13.21) and a resurging Doucouré (13.22), while Oliver won the other semi in 13.31 ahead of Poland’s rising star Noga (13.34). Robles had the winning of the final by the time he reached the first hurdle, taking just seven strides compared with eight by all the other finalists. He flowed majestically away from the field barely touching two of the hurdles, and won by 2½ metres. Payne was second from start to finish, and just held off the charge of Oliver.
