110 metres Hurdles

The 110 metres hurdles is a sprint hurdles event that combines speed, timing, and technique over a short distance. Athletes must maintain momentum while clearing a series of barriers, making the event a test of both sprinting ability and precise hurdling rhythm. At Athens 1896, the competition was held in four heats, with the first two runners in each heat advancing to the final. However, only two of the qualified athletes started the final, as Welles Hoyt and Frantz Reichel withdrew after qualifying — Hoyt likely to focus on the pole vault, and Reichel because he was assisting Albin Lermusiaux in the marathon, which took place at the same time.
