Why the 400m hurdles is one the hardest Olympic races




Running the 400-meter hurdles requires strategic rhythm, but it’s over so fast you just might miss it. Subscribe to our channel! http://goo.gl/0bsAjO There are few single events that demand as much skill as the 400-meter hurdle race. Olympians need to have the speed of a 200-meter dash runner, the endurance of an 800-meter runner, an understanding of rhythm, and, of course, the ability to efficiently clear a hurdle. Various techniques can make or break a race. If you jump too high, you’re wasting time and energy; too low and you collide with a hurdle.
