BERLIN — Ryan Brathwaite of Barbados won the 110-meter hurdles in a photo finish at the world championships.
Brathwaite hit the first hurdle Thursday but ran a clean race the rest of the way, earning gold with a dip at the line to finish in 13.14 seconds.
Terrence Trammell of the United States took silver in 13.15, and American teammate David Payne picked up the bronze.
The finals were missing the event's two biggest stars. Olympic champion and world-record holder Dayron Robles of Cuba failed to make it into the final, pulling up injured after hitting the first three hurdles in his semifinal heat. Defending world champion Liu Xiang of China is still out with an injury.
