One question: Why is there 110m for men and 100m for women?

The event requires athletes to hurdle over 10 hurdles The spacing for the mens hurdles are to long for the women.

Thats why they run 100m as oppose to 110m

Question: What are the origins of the Hurdles? Is it an original Greek event?

[edit] Switching Lead Legs

While the ability to switch lead legs may give you more flexibility in a race, it will also nearly always cause you to lose. No one can two-stride the high hurdles, so a four-stride hurdler is at a disadvantage to the three-stride hurdlers. Switching lead legs may give one an advantage in the intermediate hurdles, but I used to run thirteen strides between hurdles in the intermediates and I never lost to anyone who was doing fourteen or more strides.Primium mobile 21:01, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
