The favorite in this race was Sergei Schubenkow, who started under a neutral flag. He was the world champion of 2015 / vice world champion of 2017 and had the second fastest time in the semifinals. But there was serious competition for him. The Spaniard Orlando Ortega was seventh in the 2017 World Cup and was the fastest semi-finalist with 13.21 seconds. The Frenchman Pascal Martinot-Lagarde entered the 2015 World Cup fourth, but had not yet shown his capabilities in the semifinals. The Hungarian Vice European Champion from 2016 Balázs Baji did not convince in the semifinals either, which was also the case for the Polish EM fourth from 2016 Damian Czykier. The French World Cup fourth from 2017 Garfield Darien was eliminated in the semi-finals and defending champion Dimitri Bascou from France was not here in Berlin . The German Gregor Traber had the third fastest time in the semi-finals, but was more of an outsider.
Immediately after the start, Martinot-Lagarde was leading by a narrow margin. Halfway through the race, Schubenkow moved up and seemed to pass the French, but the latter held back again. With the naked eye it was impossible to spot a winner at the finish. Ultimately, the finish photo resulted in the success for Pascal Martinot-Lagarde, who was two thousandths of a second faster than Sergei Schubenkow. The end time for both was shown as 13.17 s - 13.163 s for Martinot-Lagarde / 13.165 s for Schubenkow. Well behind was Orlando Ortega third. His distance to the winner was seventeen hundredths of a second. Damian Czykier came fourth ahead of Gregor Traber.
