    Looks like Xiang was the only runner who did not knock down any hurdles. Tremendous discipline and muscle memory.

      he seldom hit the hurdles during his entire career. that was his technique. not touching the hundles ensures constant high speed.

    what makes this even more remarkable is zero hurdle fell on his lane; where others toward their last hurdles are lowering on hurdle to catch up and hence basically dragging the hurdles, he was still hurdling high.

    love him, truthfully, Tears in my eyes that his career has been hindered by injuries. Glad he married the woman he loves, tho.
