The American Glenn Hardin crowned his career in this race. At the Olympic Games in 1932 , he had won silver and the still existing Olympic record of 52.0. s set up. At that time the rule still applied that records were only recognized if no hurdle had been broken. In 1934 Hardin had the world record in Stockholm with 50.6. s brought into his possession. And now he won the gold medal in Berlin . However, it was tighter than expected. Canadian John Loaring was only three tenths of a second behind him, and Miguel White of the Philippines was just four tenths of a second. For both of them there was silver and bronze. Fourth was just behind the American Joseph Patterson.
Glenn Hardin won the sixth gold medal for the USA in the eighth Olympic final.
