Aries Merritt Wins 110 Meter Hurdles

American Aries Merritt took the 110 meter hurdles Wednesday night at Olympic Stadium in one of the most hotly contested races of the London Olympics. Merritt ran a season best 12.92, steaming away from teammate Jason Richardson, who finished in 13.04. World record holder Dayron Robles pulled up mid-race with what appeared to be a hamstring pull.The 110 hurdles was arguably the most competitive event of the games. Five of the competitors who entered the opening heats had broken the magic barrier of 13 seconds in the race, something just 14 men in history have ever done. Just three of them survived for the final Robles, Richardson and Merritt.
