Quarter finals
August 31, 1987
From the four quarter-finals, the first three athletes - highlighted in light blue - as well as the four fastest runners qualified for the semi-finals. However, there were two athletes of the same kind who were four ranks behind the athletes who were qualified by their placement. Both were admitted to the next round. So five runners reached the semi-finals over their time - highlighted in light green. A total of seventeen runners qualified for the semi-finals, which was not a problem because the stadium had the nine lanes required in one of the two semi-finals.
