In the men's 110m hurdles final of the Tokyo Olympic Games, Jamaica's Patchmont won the championship in 13.04 seconds, reversing the United States' Holloway in the last moment, and no one ran into the men's 110m hurdles final of the two consecutive Olympic Games.
In the final, the American Heroway took the lead, but the sprint moment suddenly lost its rhythm, the speed dropped significantly, and finally was completed by Jamaica's Patchmont! In the end, Patchmont won the title with a time of 13.04 seconds. In addition, Holloway came in second and Jamaica's Levy came third.
Patchmont had never run 13 seconds before and only two times had 13.10 seconds, 13.03 seconds at the 2015 World Championships and 13.04 seconds for the tournament. It was also Patchmont's second Olympic medal, having previously won bronze in 13.12 seconds at the London Olympics.
After Liu Xiang won the 2004 Athens world record of 12.91 seconds and the new Olympic record, Roberts won the championship in 2008 with a time of 12.93 seconds, and Merritt won the championship in 2012 with a time of 12.92 seconds. However, from this point on, the men's 110m hurdles began to decline significantly. By 2016, Omar's winning record had become 13.05 seconds. In this competition, the winning time is still only 13.04 seconds.
Many netizens have also begun to miss that crazy hurdles era! At that time, Liu Xiang had many strong opponents around him, and after that, the 110 hurdles also ushered in a brilliant era, and the world record was continuously refreshed, and finally fixed at 12.80 seconds. So far, Liu Xiang's Olympic record has been sealed for 17 years, and no one can break it.
