Jackson, winner of the US Trials was co-favourite with the gifted Clement, who with 47.79 was the only man quicker than 48 seconds in 2008. With only 26 athletes across four heats, the first round was not too competitive, with Taylor (48.67) and Buckley (48.65) the fastest. Taylor won the first semi-final in 47.94, his quickest since his 2000 Olympic win, just edging Jackson (48.02), while Clement won the other semi in 48.27 from McFarlane (48.50). Taylor was off quickest in the final, and led by a metre at the first hurdle, and was almost 2m clear of Clement crossing the fifth hurdle, reached in 20.7. McFarlane was a clear third with Iakovakis and Jackson next. Clement closed to within half a metre at the eighth, but Taylor’s stride pattern was more certain than Clement’s and he came off the final barrier 2m clear. This was extended to more than 5m by the finish. Jackson went past McFarlane at the final hurdle and almost caught the easing Clement. Taylor’s time broke his lifetime best, set in Sydney in 2000, while McFarlane (36) lowered his world master’s best
