100 metres Hurdles, Women

Date	16 – 17 August 2016
Status	Olympic
Location	Estádio Olímpico João Havelange, Engenho de Dentro, Rio de Janeiro
Participants	47 from 33 countries

The top race in 2016 in this event was considered by many to be the final of the US Olympic Trials. The US women had dominated this event for the past few years and their team was so strong that Dawn Harper-Nelson, 2008 gold medallist and 2012 silver medallist, and world ranked #1 in 2014-15, and Keni Harrison, who would break the world record shortly after the Rio Games, failed to make the US Olympic team. Many people considered that the US might possibly sweep the medals, but the dangerous nature of hurdling made it understood that anything could happen. When the three Americans won their respective semi-finals, however, the sweep talk only increased.

In the end, what did happen was a US sweep, the first ever in this event at the Olympics, and the first ever Olympic sweep by American women in athletics. It was also only the third Olympic medal sweep in a women’s running event, after the 1980 800 metres, by the Soviet Union, and the 2008 100 metres, by Jamaica. Gold went to Brianna Rollins who ran 12.48, to narrowly defeat Nia Ali (12.59) and Kristi Castlin (12.61). Britain’s Cindy Ofili was 2/100ths off the podium.
