The men's 110 metres hurdles at the 2022 World Athletics Championships was held at the Hayward Field in Eugene on 16 and 17 July 2022.[1]

Summary

The favored athletes, including reigning Olympic Champion Hansle Parchment, world leader and third fastest of all time Devon Allen, and defending world champion Grant Holloway, all qualified for the final. However, Parchment injured his right leg during warmups, requiring treatment on the infield. He was unable to walk to the starting line when athletes were called.

The first start was called back because of a false start; Allen had a reaction time of .099 seconds, one one thousandth of a second faster than the allowable tenth of a second. After protesting, the former Oregon athlete was disqualified to boos from the hometown crowd.

With a legal start, defending champion Grant Holloway was off to a quick start, first over the first hurdle and a full metre ahead of the field except for U.S. Collegiate champion Trey Cunningham. By the fifth hurdle, Holloway had over a metre on Cunningham, who hit that hurdle, while Damian Czykier began to emerge as the next chaser just ahead of Asier Martínez. Shane Brathwaite hit the sixth hurdle and abandoned his attempt to clear the next. Over the last two hurdles, Czykier lost a little ground while Martínez pulled ahead. Still a metre back over the final hurdle, Cunningham closed and leaned to make the finish close.
