The US runner Rod Milburn was the top favorite. The US champion was undefeated until the Olympic elimination since 1971 and had won 27 consecutive finals. In the US Trials, however, he only just qualified for Munich - in third place behind Thomas Hill and Willie Davenport.
Rod Milburn, who had regained his strength here, won the final with the first official electronically stopped world record in this discipline. The 1968 Olympic champion , Willie Davenport, was on the silver medal course up to the eighth hurdle, but was intercepted by Frenchman Guy Drut and his compatriot Thomas Hill.
The hand-stopped records were kept in the official lists until the end of 1976. After that Rod Milburn had set the existing world record with 13.2 s. He was the fifth hurdler to reach that time.
In the 17th Olympic final, Rod Milburn achieved his 15th US victory. It was the ninth success for the USA and, together with Thomas Hill's bronze medal, the 39th of 50 medals - in 1896 there was no third place.
Guy Drut was the first French medalist in this discipline.
