Best Answer

There are two (or three) general types of hurdles races. "Short" hurdles could be anywhere from 50 yards, to 110 meters. They are over generally higher hurdles, obviously closer together in a straightaway. Heights and spacing depend on age and gender, number of hurdles usually either 5 or 10 (indoors or outdoors).

"Long" hurdles are from between 200 meters and 400 meters (or 440 yards). All are 35 meters apart. Ten hurdles, for the longest of those races.

There was also a legacy race over low (30" hurdles) that went distances like 220 yards, 200 meters, 180 yards. Those were generally discontinued in the 1960's and 1970's.

The third kind of hurdle race is a long distance race called steeplechase. It is over barriers (hurdles that do not fall down). 5 barriers per lap, the 4th one is over a water jump.

What is judo uniform called?

A Judo Gi. The Gi in Japanese is translated into uniform. There are different types of uniforms. White and Blue, competition one and non-competition. Normally you will wear your non-competition uniform in your Dojo (the hall where you train with your instructors) And you'll wear your thick and heavy Gi to competitions. Also, it's very useful to own both white and blue uniforms. Because at competition you may be asked to switch colours. I personally use my blue Gi for competitions and my white Gi when I'm training. Hope this helps :)
