2015 World Championships in Athletics – Men's 400 metres hurdles

The men's 400 metres hurdles at the 2015 World Championships in Athletics was held at the Beijing National Stadium on 22, 23 and 25 August.

Michael Tinsley was the only returning medalist from recent history and the rest of the world leaders were already eliminated, making for a very open race.

Through the turn Tinsley began to hit hurdles, Kudryavtsev the clear leader coming to the straightaway.

Reminiscent of Kenyan steeplechase finishes, he took the final barrier somewhat awkwardly but continued with so much power that the rest of the field was left behind him.

Gibson won the race to the line for bronze, setting his second Bahamian national record of the competition.
