The men's 400 metres hurdles at the 2024 Summer Olympics was held in four rounds at the Stade de France in Paris, France, from 5 to 9 August 2024. This was 28th time that the men's 400 metres hurdles was contested at the Summer Olympics. A total of 40 athletes were able to qualify for the event by entry standard or ranking.

Summary

This was the most anticipated event at these Olympics because the top three in history were all scheduled to be here. Karsten Warholm set the world record winning in Tokyo, .23 ahead of the second best in history Rai Benjamin. Another half second behind in that race, Alison dos Santos #3 won the 2022 World Championships just .12 slower than Benjamin's Olympic time and beating Benjamin straight up in the race. Warholm was slowed by injury that year but returned to take his third the 2023 World Championship in 2023, while Kyron McMaster #8 of all time, edged out Benjamin. Also in the field is #5 of all time, Abderrahman Samba, #17 Roshawn Clarke, =#19 Trevor Bassitt, #21 Wilfried Happio, #22 Malik James-King and #25 Alessandro Sibilio. After the US Trials, #11 Caleb Dean was already left at home. There wasn't enough room for all of them in the final.

Rain on the day of the final may have precluded the possibility of a world record. In the final, Warholm typically went out to a fast start. Immediately to his outside, Benjamin was running relaxed. On the far outside, Clark was pacing with Benjamin. On the inside dos Santos was chasing Ducos, edging ahead of him by the fourth hurdle. Clark began to fade as Benjamin started to accelerate after the halfway point. Warholm began to strain as Benjamin cruised by, clearly ahead by hurdle 8. Under pressure, Warholm took hurdle 9 awkwardly. Benjamin was free, gliding over the final hurdle and in for gold. Warholm strained to get over the finish line ahead of dos Santos to retain silver.

Background
