Look at this list... all times from '86-92... and Briana Rollins just nailed the 4th fastest performance EVER, against all the Bulgarians and Russians of the nandrolone era... her rise to stardom has been meteoric.

re: Fat Jana

Let's see how smart you High Hurdle experts are.

What physical abnormality was world record holder Yordanka Donkova (Bulgaria) born with ?

When Ludmilla (Enquist)ran those low 12 second hurdle races she was Ludmilla Narozhilenko of Russia.

She later married Swede and became Enquist.

Later in her career she was robbed of a very large sum of cash while competing in England.

Donkova was born without fingers on one hand. Hence the twisted wrist on track at start of races.

Smarter than you. Donkova was born with all 10 fingers, but had a bad accident when she was very young and lost TWO of her fingers.

And everyone knows about Narozhilenko's past.

What is the Low Hurdle history?

re: Ylwl

So should the WR really be going:

Devers 12.33 in 2000

Pearson 12.28 in 2011

Rollins 12.26 in 2013?

re: wr potential

Rollins. Incredible lead leg.

re: Sprintgeezer

No, the magic is in her trail leg.

re: trail power

I know the magic is usually in how the trailing leg operates, and hers is of course great--but it strikes me that her timing of her lead leg over the hurdle is perfect.

But I'm no hurdle expert, except that I think that Sally Pearson looked better technically. Rollins is crazy.

re: Sprintgeezer

Really want to see a vid of this now!

Also, very interesting to see a clean WR progression.

Rollins vs. Pearson will be fascinating.

re: wr potential

LOL.

None of those three are clean.

She pulls her trail leg over sooner than others, and powerfully. That's her edge.
