Chisholm placed second in his second round race, and so missed the final, as Wendell got home 2m ahead in 15.5, after Gerard Anderson (GBR) led by 2m until falling at the eighth hurdle. Case and Nicholson were the fastest of the round with 15.4 clockings. The final got under way at the third time of asking, with Nicholson and Powell slowest away. By the eighth hurdle Nicholson had caught Wendell and Kelly, but fell at that barrier, leaving Kelly to get home first with his last few strides, missing the Olympic Record by just one tenth of a second. ^_ Semi-Finals Heats
