by Larry EderOne of the most exciting events of the London World Championships was the men’s 400 meter hurdles. Karston Warholm, a former decathlete turned hurdler, with fine 400 meter speed and pretty impressive 400m hurdle technique, took the gold from Kerron Clement, who tapped the final hurdle, not only losing the gold, but providing an opening for a hard charging Yasmin Copello, who took silver to Clement’s bronze.
The 400 meter hurdles is one of the toughest races on the track, requiring the speed of the 400 meters and ten hurdles, which get higher the later one gets into the race.
Here’s one of my favorite pressers from the championships.
