Worlds best hurdle runner

Answer 1

Dayron Robles of Cuba won the Olympic 110m hurdle competition and also holds the world record, so one could say that he is the best in the world at the moment in the 110s. His main competition, Liu Xiang, of China, exited the Olympics because of an Achilles injury. Angelo Taylor (USA) won the 400m hurdle competition, but Kevin Young (USA) has held the world record in that event since 1992.

NOTE: this is taking about todays best hurdles, not the pasts.

The 110 meter Hurdles will be very interesting next year and the best will definitely be crowned next year. Most Track and Field fans will want to see the showdown between 3 champions: Dayron Robles, Ryan Brathwaite, and Liu Xiang. Throw in some American Wild cards and Terrence Trammell and you have a good race.

The 400 meter Hurdles will be a lockdown by Kerron Clement. The old Angelo Taylor will not try to challenge him. Javier Culson, L. J. Van Zyl, or Batman Jackson can only hope to defeat Kerron Clement once or twice next year.
