| Campbell, an Olympian for the third time, was the fastest in the first |
| round, running 13.45, but the favourite, Kingdom was biding his time. |
| In the second round Kingdom clocked 13.17, the fastest quarter-final |
| ever. Kingdom ran a toned down 13.37 in his semi-final, 0.15 ahead of |
| Blake, while the other semi-final was won surprisingly by Shishkin in |
| 13.46, just ahead of Campbell (13.47). |
| In the final Blake got a superb start, too superb as it happened, as he |
| reacted in 0.056 seconds, rather quicker than the 0.100 proscribed legal |
| level. Blake and McKoy were three-quarters of a metre ahead of |
| Kingdom at the first hurdle, but Blake quickly fell apart, and McKoy |
| started hitting hurdles, with the result that Kingdom caught him at the |
| fourth barrier. From that point on Kingdom was at least three hundreths |
| faster between each hurdle than the rest of the field, and he powered |
| through the finish a full three tenths ahead, the biggest margin of vic- |
| tory other than Smithson’s 1908 win. Only Nehemiah (12.93) and |
| Kingdom himself (12.97A) had ever dipped below 13 seconds prior to |
| Kingdom’s Olympic run. Jackson outran Campbell over the last four |
| hurdles to take silver, while Shishkin won the race for fourth, just hold- |
| ing off the powerful closing rushes of Ridgeon and Jarrett. |
