He competed in the men's 100 metres at the event, and reached the semi-final. However, in his semi-final there was a faulty start which he did not hear. He completed a what-would-have-been personal best run of 10.12 seconds, only to discover the race had been recalled. After another false start, the running of the race did not go well for him with Melluzzo pulling up with a muscle twinge in his calf. His original 10.12 time would have qualified for the final.
