Explain the following term:

Hurdling

Answer 1

Hurdling involves running and jumping over obstacles at high speeds. In these events, a series of hurdles are set at exactly defined heights and distances for each participant to run over. Failure to pass over, beneath, or purposely knock over hurdles will result in disqualification. Although knocking over hurdles is not a disqualification, the weight of the hurdles makes it unfavorable.
