Summary

Karsten Warholm led the final from start to finish. At the final hurdle, Abderrahman Samba, in second place and seemingly gaining on Warholm, stumbled and struggled to maintain his balance, dropping to seventh. From the last hurdle to the finish line Warholm increased his speed again, winning by a comfortable margin, while Yasmani Copello overtook Kerron Clement on the final run in to gain silver.
