These are the official results of the Men's 400 metres Hurdles event at the 1987 IAAF World Championships in Rome, Italy.
After 122 consecutive victories, Edwin Moses's winning streak was finally broken in June by Danny Harris.
From the gun, Moses took the race out hard, making up the stagger to catch Schmid just past the fourth hurdle.
Moses maintained his lead over the final hurdle as Harris fought back to a slight advantage against Schmid.
Moses dived for the line in desperation, Harris maintained form and Schmid gave a textbook lean reminiscent of Colin Jackson to try to get ahead.
