| London olympics 2012 woman Hurdle game |
The Basic of Hurdles:
The women's 100m Hurdles takes place on the home straight of the Athletics track. Athletes must jump over ten evenly-spaced hurdles in their lane, before sprinting for the finishing line. Hurdles are 0.838m high & are designed so that if an athlete hits it falls forward.
Competition format of Hurdles:
The draw to select which heat athletes run
in is decided by their preliminary seedings (based on earlier
performance) for the first round, & then their performances after
that. This ensures that the highest seeded athletes are not drawn in the
same heat.
The Hurdles races start with heats. The number of heats & the number of athletes who progress to the next round depends on the number of athletes competing. In each heat the best-placed athletes go through, & a set number of the quickest losers across all the heats.
Athletes run the whole race in their lane, which is apportioned according to lot for the first round, & then according to their later performance.
