110 metres Hurdles, Men

Date15 – 16 August 2016
StatusOlympic
LocationEstádio Olímpico João Havelange, Engenho de Dentro, Rio de Janeiro
Participants40 from 27 countries

The United States had dominated this event since the 1896 Olympics, but they came to Rio with no dominant hurdler. Their best hurdler in recent years had been Aries Merritt, who set a world record after the 2012 Olympics, and was third at the 2015 World Championships while suffering from end-stage kidney disease. After that meet Merritt underwent a kidney transplant and returned to competition in early 2016, but he failed to make the US team at the trials. Another top hurdler was Cuban Dayron Robles, the 2008 Olympic champion and a former world record holder, but he was not in Rio, out with injuries.

In their absence the event was wide open. The event started in a torrential downpour, which affected the first two heats. The rain then relented, and the officials gave the non-qualifiers from the first two heats a re-run in an extra heat, allowing them to qualify on time, but only Deuce Carter was able to do so. The final was won by Jamaican Omar McLeod, who had won the World Indoor Championships over 60 metres earlier in the year. He was followed by Cuban Orlando Ortega (representing Spain in Rio), with France’s Dimitri Bascou taking bronze. Devon Allen finished fifth, the highest placed American. It was the first time in the history of the event that no American won a medal, save for the boycotted 1980 Olympics.
