Inspired by the sight of the victory celebration for Jesse Owens following the Berlin Olympics, Dillard became a specialist high hurdler and, between May 1947 and June 1948, had eighty-two sprint and hurdles races without a defeat. In the 1948 US Olympic trials, he fell in the hurdles and failed to finish, but he did qualify as third string in the 100 metres flat. In an extraoridnary upset he won the final in London in 10.3 seconds, equalling Owens' Olympic record - particularly fitting since Owens had presented him with his 1936 Olympic shoes. In 1952, Dillard returned to his main event to win the high hurdles.
