Best Answer

1896 Games in Athens.

Men have run the 110 meter hurdles since the first modern Olympic Games in 1896. The 400 meter event started at the 1900 Games in Paris.

Women began running hurdles with the 80 meter hurdles event at the 1932 Games in Los Angeles. The 100 meter hurdles event replaced the 80 meter event at the 1972 Games in Munich. Women have been running the 400 meter hurdles event since the 1984 Games in Los Angeles.
