CIMG2246 - Robles BLK Start - 110m Hurdles - London 2011

thats actually not that great of a start....hes incredible over the hurdle, but he pops straight up after the start....hes getting nothing from his drive phase

[hindey54]

@keewee1091 this is hurdles not 100m flat. your suppose to come up straight away so you know how to attack your first hurdle

[keewee1091]

@hindey54 you NEVER come straight up...that defeats the purpose of starting down...yes of course youre going to come up a bit sooner in a hurdle race, but popping straight up is counter productive

Compare this to the Jason Richardson vid... Robles is descending from the hurdle the very moment his lead foot passes over it, and his trail leg is already high up. Richardson lags on his descent and his trail leg doesn't ascend quickly enough. He's gotta eliminate that if he wants to compete with Robles' immaculate form.

do you have the normal speed version of this video? its hard to tell how much hes easing up on the penultimate and takeoff steps in slow motion

[vjvj85]

@Angelmass No

[MrDeltaMaster]

@Angelmass easy...you never ease up...you attack...the last two steps are the quickest

[Angelmass]

@MrDeltaMaster yeah i just meant since its just a warmup, and he's able to come to a stop immediately so hes not going at full speed

Robles  is the best
