Jamaica's trio of Orlando Bennett, Rasheed Broadbell and Hansle Parchment all booked their spot in the final of the men's 110m hurdles at the Paris Olympics.

Bennett, competing from semi-final three, confirmed his spot as he stormed to a personal best time of 13.09 to take top honours.

Broadbell was also an automatic qualifier as he won semi-final two in 13.21.

The reigning Olympic champion Hansle Parchment, in a season's best 13.19, finished third but was just good enough to secure a non-automatic qualifying place.

America's Grant Holloway is the fastest qualifier after winning semi-final one in 12.98.
