Records
Preliminary remark:
In these years there was a dichotomy in terms of best performances and records. Hand-stopped and electronically determined services were performed side by side. The official times were usually given in tenths of a second, which were rounded if electronic measurements were available. Due to the elimination of the reaction time of the timekeeper with electronic timekeeping, the discussion was about introducing a so-called pre-set value in order not to automatically improve the hand-stopped performance. But the correct specification of these times remained, which were later also officially listed with hundredths of a second after the decimal point.

Preliminary round
August 12, 1971, 12:30 p.m.
The preliminary round was carried out in three runs. The first five athletes per run - highlighted in light blue - as well as the fastest female runner - highlighted in light green - qualified for the semi-finals.
It is difficult to understand how it was possible to set up preliminary runs. Only seventeen hurdlers were at the start, of which the eight best - the first two of a run plus two fastest ones - could have made it directly to the final over three preliminary heats. Instead, a single participant was eliminated from the scheduled races. In the second run, the athletes only had to reach the goal to get to the next round. So the remaining sixteen athletes made it to the semi-finals.
