110 metres Hurdles, Men

Date	26 – 28 July 1976
Status	Olympic
Location	Stade olympique, Parc olympique, Montréal, Québec
Participants	24 from 17 countries

The silver medalist from 1972, Guy Drut (FRA), had won the 1974 European Championships and was favored in Montréal, the first time in memory that the favorite was not an American. In 1975 Drut had first equaled the hand-timed world record of 13.1 and then broke it with 13.0 at the ISTAF Meet in Berlin in August. He was expected to be challenged by 1975 Pan-American Games champion Alejandro Casañas of Cuba. There was no dominant US hurdler in 1976. Drut was under significant pressure to win by French fans but came thru with the gold medal, Casañas winning silver over the 1968 gold medalist, Willie Davenport. It was Davenport’s fourth Olympics, and he would compete in a fifth one in 1980 at Lake Placid as a bobsledder.
