Clearing The Hurdles
Hurdling is a track and field event that involves running over a series of hurdles set at a specific distance apart. The earliest recorded evidence of hurdle racing comes from ancient Greece, where athletes competed in a sport called the “dromos,” with a distance of 200 meters.
However, it wasn’t until the early 19th century that hurdling as we know it today began to take shape, and by the end of the century, it had become a staple of track and field competitions around the world.
