Summary Edit
For the first time ever in a World Championship, every runner in a single preliminary heat was disqualified. It was the third heat, where first returning silver medalist Abdalelah Haroun false started himself out of the heat. #5 runner of all time[3] Bralon Taplin won the heat, but he and the other three remaining runners Austris Karpinskis, Alonzo Russell and Steven Gayle were then disqualified for lane violations.[4]
2012 Champion Nery Brenes also found himself disqualified after winning the fifth heat.[5] With two place qualifiers missing, it opened the door for Juander Santos and Mikhail Litvin to take the extra time qualification positions in the semi-final round.
In the final, Óscar Husillos from lane 6 was first to the break line and took the lead with a lap to go, holding the lead to cross the finish line first in a time of 44.92. However, Husillos and Luguelín Santos were disqualified for lane violations, giving Pavel Maslák his third consecutive championship, Michael Cherry the silver, and Deon Lendore the bronze.[6][7]
