Three athletes from Great Britain and two US-Americans had qualified for the final. The field was completed by one runner each from Germany, Canada and Cuba.
The reigning world champion Greg Foster from the USA had not been able to qualify for the Olympic Games in Barcelona . At the Olympic eliminations in New Orleans , he finished fourth in the final. The favorites were Vice World Champion Jack Pierce from the USA, Canadian World Cup fourth Mark McKoy, the two Britons Tony Jarrett, World Cup third, and Colin Jackson, and American Tony Dees. Jackson suffered a rib injury in his quarter-finals. Although he made it to the final, he was given no chances there.
In the final there was initially a false start by the British Hugh Teape. On the second try, McKoy and Dees got off the blocks best. Mark McCoy cleared the hurdles with no frills and no mistakes and worked his way up to the finish line by 0.12 s. That was the gold medal ahead of Tony Dees. A finish photo had to make it clear who had won the bronze medal. Jack Pierce lay very thinly in front of Tony Jarrett, both were at the same time. Three hundredths of a second behind, the German Florian Schwarthoff was fifth ahead of Emilio Valle from Cuba. Colin Jackson and Hugh Teape crossed the finish line in seventh and eighth.
