Preliminary round

The preliminary round was held in four runs. The first three athletes per run - highlighted in light blue - as well as the four fastest runners - highlighted in light green - qualified for the semi-finals. Due to the fact that the fifth-placed hurdler in the third race and the sixth-placed in the second race were equal in time in the thousandths of a second, five participants finally reached the next lap over their time. Another athlete, on the other hand, who in the fourth run with 13.12 s in the hundredths of a second area also had the same time as these two runners who ultimately qualified for the semi-finals, was weaker in the thousandths of a second area and was therefore eliminated.
