Athletics at the 1924 Summer Olympics – Men's 110 metres hurdles

This was the seventh appearance of the event, which is one of 12 athletics events to have been held at every Summer Olympics. Carl-Axel Christiernsson of Sweden, who had finished sixth in 1920, was the only finalist to return in 1924.

Argentina, Brazil, and Mexico each made their first appearance in the event. The United States made its seventh appearance, the only nation to have competed in the 110 metres hurdles in each Games to that point.

The competition used the three-round basic format introduced in 1908. The first round consisted of eight heats, with anywhere between 1 and 6 hurdlers each. The top two hurdlers in each heat advanced to the semifinals (with the exception of heat 7, which had only one hurdler). The 15 semifinalists were divided into three semifinals of 5 hurdlers each; the top two hurdlers in each advanced to the 6-man final.[2][3]

These were the standing world and Olympic records (in seconds) prior to the 1924 Summer Olympics.
