110m Hurdles Setup Fail
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 тра 2011
- At the 2011 Region IV track meet in Anchorage, AK, a terrible mistake was made when the officials setup before the Boys 110m finals. The 6th hurdle was placed on a Girls 100m hurdle mark, putting it several meters closer than it should have been. As a result of this failure, four kids fell during the race. One had to be taken to the hospital and others ran poorly through the rest of the meet. I hope that officiating crews would pay closer attention to the hurdles setup to help prevent this from happening again.

This kills me!!!! Im the black kid in lane one! Three years later I was the state record holder my senior year, I'm now a junior division one hurdler. This was my first season in high school. oh what time can do!!!
I bet you wrote that wrong.
+Taj Showalter Good for you, dude!
+Taj Showalter Goodjob! You cleared all the hurdles very well.
+Taj Showalter i do hurdles but i kind of suck at them oh well atlas i know the difference between girls and boys hurdles
+Taj Showalter IT IS YOU!!! I KNEW IT LOL
The distance between the hurdles is deferent for boys and girls. The distance between the hurdles for girls is 8.5 m (27 ft 11 in), while the distance between the hurdles for boys is 9.14 m (30 ft). So, as shown in the video (sorry for the lack of explanation) one hurdle for the boys race was placed on the mark for a girls race.
Basically, the 6th hurdle was almost 3 yards closer than it should have been.
@quebecking8177 It's Eric:" explain deferent"........lol!!!
I'd be so pissed. It's almost as bad as the time that in one of my duel meets they miss-placed the 300 meter hurdles. Every single runner ran such a bad time. No one fell, but it's a lot different with the 110's.
look at the kid in the yellow in lane 8 I bet you he broke his arm.
I didn't look broken because both upper and lower seem straight enough as he crosses the line but he might just have dislocated his shoulder.
@@rayjennings3637 My guess is he was the one who had to go to the hospital.
Sue them
Oh that elbow was toast, one of his legs too from the looks of it (if it wasn't an internal gut thing).
He kept trucking though! Strong spirit.
3rd lane in purple was limping a bit towards the finish
4 died 1 is missing
i was too busy watching the guy in red fall in slow motion
I don't know what video you were watching, he was 3 stepping. What's impressive is how quickly he could react and switch lead legs, then continue to three step with the wrong lead leg for a few more hurdles before switching back.
I tripped over a hurdle once on this track, back in 1977. Ripped the skin off my shoulder. And that hurdle wasn't even misplaced.
There were in fact two lines of hurdles placed on girl's markers 6th and 7th.
when 2 step drills become useful !!!
How do you zoom in like that with such an average camera??
imagine old you seeing the Samsung 100x zoom
@@joymonger69420 Haha, thanks from the past!
i had a fear of hurdles once ...... but i got over it
I know you commented 5 years ago but I have to applaud you... Somehow I laughed
I was completely enamored with the beautiful forest in the background. Of course, it's Alaska. I really want to get myself there.
I'm still confused...
is it less distance between hurdles for girls than boys?
I would guess to accommodate longer strides in males than females?
so, here,
was that particular set of hurdles randomly placed to near the previous set?
and was the subsequent set then farther?
The girls hurdles are closer together than boys hurdles so all of the hurdles here were on the correct marks except for the ones they fell on.
Sir, Awesome camera. Brilliant , I love your Camera work. Let me know the name of Video camera/ Camera. Thanks
does first guy win? how much time is marked off for hittng it down?
the same thing happened to me at indoor districts this past season, the last hurdle was at the girls mark, and the officials didnt notice until i pointed it out to them on film!
this almost happened at one of my races... I was so glad I did a practice run through the first 2 hurdles...
the zoom on this camera is incredible
Wait, I don't know much about the hurdles could somebody please explain how they are poorly placed ? Are they to close or something ? thanks .
someone explain to me what happened? i dont get the whole "mark" thing
i'm dying, as a beginning hurdler who just recently got their steps down, I would be so frustrated
Respect to the guys for finishing.
I used a movie editing program called Pinnacle Studio 14
Nice one ! The big guy in red/white (lane 6 ?) was so slow, and already "out" by half a stride at the hurdle before, that he was almost unaffected by it - he just "took it in his stride" !
KAF128 everyone was slow there are 12 year olds that run faster than them lol
The terrible part is that... there had to have been someone in the stands who noticed this and said nothing!!! i could never be that type of person. omg.
brilliant camera work!!
No one noticed this from the stands? Or the officials? Or the runners? I'd walk past the course once before a race if I were a runner
this is real real race to test how to adapt in any circumstances
Where is the mark
Parabéns aos atletas, que mesmo com essa trapalhada conseguiram completar a prova!
it's like a war out there.
For some reason I died when the kid in lane 3 skidded out 😂😂😂😂😂 on the real though, great work!
Only had one bad set up where they actually forgot a whole line of hurdles on the 300m... I told them right before we started though.. then another time they forgot to put a hurdle on one of the spots in my lane but I also caught that and told them... I might as well tell them because then they would most likely just not even count my time or something.
Concise and clear explanation to the video. Thx
who were the schools i cant tell
My friend once kicked a hurdle out of place during the JV race and then our Var runner came in and stumbled on that misplaced hurdle.
Props to those kids that kept going. Part of the hurdles is being able to recover if you hit one.
@latrelljones69 yep, at the end of the meet. but one runner had to go to the hospital and two others ran poorly
The end killed me because they tried being serious and acting like it meant the world just because the hurdles were misplaced
the guy with the blue and yellow shirt FTW! rrolled on the floor, banged on the hurdle and gets back up running like he was bit by a snake on the leg xD!
Yeah some people do count their steps, but usually when you are that good at hurdling, which these guys are to make it to the regional, muscle memory usually takes over. I remember in Jr. high, they forgot to change the hurdle height for the 200M hurdles from the 110 meter hurdles... that was an interesting race...
BRUTAL!!!!
I would be pissed. I remembered that we used to time and even count our steps in practice and before our race. That 10m difference can completely throw off a hurdler's rhythm. The ones who made it threw were probably lucky enough to land on the foot they usually jump off of.
Hey I was in this race. My name is Tyler Rohde I was the kid middle. (Columbia blue) and let me tell u, it was so unexpected and so awkward that yes kids were seriously hurt.
surprised to see they're not running with snow shoes.
Watch carefully and u will see first place push down a hurdle
It doesn't matter. There is no disqualification for touching hurdles with any body part.
Only if it's intentional
The hurdle was too close anyway, it messed up his steps. If he wouldn’t have pushed it he would have fallen like the others did.
Gavin Wightman u can be disqualified for touching it with your hands but I guess not in this case since they were off their marks
Actually you can be dqed for touching the hurdle with your hands to push it down and or if its intentional but because this race was screwed up the whole race would basically be thrown out the window because its not at race standards so they should have had to run this race again and this is when everyone no matter what school just gangs up on the officials and beats the crap out of them
what an athlete!!!! I ran a 17.1 as a freshman with little teaching and am sophomore now getting ready for this season
jesus 17.1 as a freshman in 110 hurdles what steroids you on bruh
Fam I said this 2 years ago
i know but like i'm curious
JLorenz that's slow as shit bro your probably not a scholarship athlete was it your first time doing it?....in my freshman year I opened with 14 seconds
Rickyticky bobbiwobins That is complete bull shit
happend to me before too, officials set it up wrong and my shoulder will never be the same. why are all track officials 100 years old
plus when your that far into the race the hurdles between guys and girls are far apart so it looks like theres a hurdle right in the middle of a set of guys
the guy who wears a red top and white sleeves reacts awesomely!
he wasnt even phased a little haha thats true talent
I cant believe this thats exactly what happened to me at the race b4 districts my 6th grade year it was the last hurdle and i hit it and i went skidding and my chin, stomach, forearms, and the front of my legs were all cut up and skinned.
These comments make me want to end it all. Everyone acting like just because they were placed wrong doesn't mean they shouldn't have fallen. Also, all the people saying how bad they are and how they need more practice. I bet half the people saying they suck don't even run hurdles.
the camera that took the video is not the same camera that took the stills they zoomed in on, the angle and depth of field is different on the stills, also a slightly different angle, my guess is a Dslr with probably a 70-200 or 100-400 took the photos
God that's brutal
Excellent video. Now that I know why the young men had so much trouble, isn't even a little amusing.
Yea, he was the state record holder until last year.
iT HAPPENED AT THE FHSAA 2a STATE MEET IN JACKSONVILLE THIS PAST SPRING AND THE OFFICIALS MISTAKENLY DECIDED TO RE-RUN THE RACE.
Both the worst and best 110m Hurdle race of all time.
Think the yellow shirt guy hurt his arm or shoulder on that fall.
i would be freaking out, cussing at all the officials at the top of my lungs right as i finished the race.
I still wonder how he could manage to finish...
Damn, lane two should have been able to clear that girls hurdle rocking that flowing blond ponytail.
They are not proper race hurdles either; race hurdles should have adjustable weights on the bottom which are changed according to hurdle height, and also do not have a cross bar across the end of the feet. Credit to the guys who managed to keep hurdling pretty well, all things considered!
The guy in the third lane from the left knocked into each of the first five hurdles yet he was the only one who cleared the sixth without hitting it.
The JazzieNerd bc its fine if your knee hits it bc you should be so low that your knee hits it
The JazzieNerd the guy in lane 1 also cleared the 6th
Hurdle Crew FIRED.
@MSh4kes have you heard of penalties?
well, thats not what happened. they got off track on where the hurdles are set up and between two sets of hurdles the distance was much less and threw off the runner's strides.
it’s finna turn into bartlett university real quick
and you run what..?
Can you really adapt 2 steps from your fastest pace in a hurdles race?
are these people serious no 1 didn't notice this gosh .
Hurdle randomizer should be a thing
One went to the hospital, eh? Is that why they all got up immediately and still finished anyway?
He switched legs? He never switched lead legs.
haha you can see the guy with the red who bites the dust. He's saying, "Oh fuuuuuu" lmao!
you don't really count your steps in the 100/110m hurdle race. It's always three steps.
Oh lordy!
i would beyond pissed
HE PUSHED THE HURDLE WHAT NO
I thought something was up when the kid in lane 7 two stepped lol
He was five stepping instead of the faster three. Being much easier then to do a girls hurdle length and why he didn't knock one down.
Thats because he used to hurdle of them so high he never hit them. sacrificed speed for safety.
And trust me when u do 3 step 3 step 3 step 2 step holy crap that hurdle was close u know immediately something is wrong
then it would hurt like hell if you don't make it
@GetOffMahBalls Doesn't really matter what race you are in the hurdles.
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL ! thats never happened to me on a hurdle in competitions !
Lmfaooooo hey, we have all been there. My 300 in 2006 was an epic fail lmao
Guys run a 110m, girls run a 100m. The sixth hurdle was at the girls marker instead of guys, so it was closer than it should have been.
Please can you explain to me more?
You know why? Someone told him pretend the cops are on you
Whether set that up should have gone to jail
anyone notice the kid in lane 3 do a crazy shit flip into the second to last hurdle.
or the guy grabbing his shoulder in pain...
TYYLLERRR!!!
Adapt bro... adapt...
That would be 3feet aka 1yard; not 3yards which would be 9feet.
I get a kick out of the guy who says "OH MAN!" at :25
Autumn Ballard me too. Hilarious 😂
holy hell. who ever the camera man or woman kick ass!
Absolute unprofessionalism on the part of whoever set it up. Do they have to spell out boys and girls on the grid?
