hurdlingTrack-and-field event, a footrace over a series of obstacles called hurdles. Runners must remain in assigned lanes throughout a race, and, though they may knock hurdles down while running over them, they may do so only with a leg or foot, not a hand. Modern hurdlers use a sprinting style between hurdles, display an exaggerated forward lean while clearing the hurdle, and then bring the trailing leg through at nearly a right angle to the body, which enables them to continue forward without breaking stride after clearing the hurdle. Hurdling distances are 110 m and 400 m for men and 100 m and 400 m for women. Want to thank TFD for its existence?

No references found | The Fighting Fifth is once again the first leg of the WBX Hurdling Triple Crown, which takes in the three Grade 1 2m hurdle races run in Britain this season. It's the best hurdle race to be run so far this season, and could very well be the best hurdle race to be run before Cheltenham, so it could hardly be left out in the cold on satellite.
