MOSCOW, Russia -- David Oliver lead a one-two for the United States in the 110 metres hurdles, at the World Athletics Championships in Moscow. The US missed out on a clean sweep of the medals after the defending champion, Jason Richardson, stumbled after hitting the final hurdle.
Oliver, the form athlete this year and who had been impressive throughout the competition, led early and maintained his form to take an emotional victory in exactly 13 seconds, the fastest time of the year. Ryan Wilson took silver in 13.13 and Sergey Shubenkov of Russia edged Richardson for bronze. Shubenkov finished in 13.24, and Richardson timed 13.27. The Olympic champion, Aries Merritt, was sixth.
IAAF Track and Field World Championship, David Oliver (USA) has been side lined for the past few years, but he's back in shape and finally a world champion at 13.00, .13 seconds over Ron Wilson (USA). Defending champ Jason Richardson 4th.
