Interview with British Hurdlers Lucy Hatton & Tiffany Porter at Great CityGames Manchester

This interview took place on May 19, 2016. I was seated at the table with Lucy Hatton and Tiffany Porter, along with fellow journo Stuart Weir. The interview quickly went from the 100 meter hurdles being the toughest event, weekly race by weekly race on the entire women’s athletic program, due to the fact that hurdlers never hide from the competition.

Lucy Hatton and Tiffany Porter are hurdlers and athletes with approaches that work for them. Both love their events and are proud of their athleticism and the message they are givng young women. Take a few moments to listen to this one. Lucy Hatton talks about women being fierce competitors-one of my favorite comments ever by an athlete!
