Jackson ran the fastest time of the Games – 13.10 – in winning the first
heat, but injured his ribs in the next round, and was below par after that.
His training partner, McKoy, was the second quickest in the first round
with 13.26, and won his next race in 13.27. The following heat in round
2 was won by Pierce, who beat Jackson by four tenths in 13.17. Pierce
(13.21) and McKoy (13.12) were the winners in the semi-finals, with
the tall (2.01m) Schwarthoff impressive in the first heat with 13.23
ahead of Jarrett (13.29). Jackson was still able to run 13.19 behind
McKoy.
In the final, the Canadian rocketed off the blocks, leading to the first
hurdle, and only smacked the last hurdle en route to his second 13.12
of the day. Dees held second throughout the race, although he was only
0.02 clear of Pierce and Jarrett at the finish.
