I've always thought the women's 400 hurdles look disproportionately low relative to the men's. Most of these women get over them with much less effort relative to the men in their respective event.
No they do not. At 6ft4 the hurdles come to Rai's knees. At 6ft7 the hurdles only come to Dos Santos' calves.
Oh s--t, hope she's ok. She didn't even have a lean.
Looked more to me like she was spooked by the yellow card. Ran a tentative turn after overcompensating by running wide including that step, and then shut it down the last 20.
Shut down the last 20 in a final when you are not leading or even 3rd?. Was the shutting down because you realize no matter what you do, you will never even be in the top 3?
