In the 110-meter hurdles final, it was highly dramatic even before the start. The big favorite Hansle Parchment from Jamaica had already smoked out with injury, and when the race was about to start, Devon Allen was disqualified. – It looked like a super start, commented news’s Jann Post.

The rules say that no one can react faster than one time, 0.1 second. Allen’s reaction time was 0.099 seconds, and thus he was one thousandth of a second too early. With two of the favorites away from the starting line, Grant Holloway ran in for a superb gold in the distance. He took the gold in front of the Injury on the warm-up Minutes before Allen was discarded favorite Hansle Parchment had to leave the field with an injury.
