Maintenance Phase • Unlike in the sprints, the maintenance phase is short lived/non‐existent in the short hurdles. • In the 400m hurdles (300mh), coming off each hurdle, the athlete must do a mini drive then quickly transition to maintain his stride. Thus always returning to maintenance phases between each barrier. Maintenance phase 100m (video) Where to find your next great Hurdler?

  • What People Say About Chiropractic
    What people say about Chiropractic "I am very fortunate to have, so-to-speak, my in-house chiropractor, Dr. Franco Colombu, as my own personal chiropractor. So, I visit Franco regularly, and he comes over to my house. He adjusts my wife, my kids, me, everybody gets an adjustment. And we feel always great when Franco leaves. Even when I have athletic injuries he's always there for me, and helps me. So it's really terrific, and I know that first hand. That's why I always will be traveling around, all over the world, talking highly about the profession of chiropractic. You chiropractic doctors are really miracle workers, and that's why it's really great to have you here, part of the Arnold Classic. Because, like I said, the Arnold Classic and Fitness Weekend are about health and about fitness and preventive care." Arnold Schwarzenegger "If it were not for Chiropractic, I would not have won the gold medal." Dan O'Brien Decathlon Gold Medallist Appearing in films like The Patriot and Braveheart has taken its toll on Mel Gibson. "You get hurt all the time. All you gotta do is just like eight takes of running down a hill and you twist an ankle," the action pic veteran tells TV Guide Online. "I got a chiropractor to come along to the [Patriot] shoot, because they can actually stick you back together within 15 minutes. He used to come every other week, from Los Angeles to South Carolina spend a week and work on the entire crew.

  • THE 1984 OLYMPIC GAMES 202 Carl Lewis Made Only a Cameo Appearance in the Long Jump
    THE 1984 OLYMPIC GAMES 202 Carl Lewis made only a cameo appearance in the long jump. He raced down TRACK AND the runway once, leaped a couple of inches beyond 27 feet, far enough to qualify comfortably for the final, then left the Coliseum to rest on, and for, FIELD his laurels. Edwin Moses, a graduate of Morehouse University with a degree in physics, settled for a costarring role in the 400-meter hurdles. He did the physical work. He won the event for the 105th straight time, a flawless victory that was never in doubt; he broke 48 seconds for the 28th time, a feat the rest of the world had accomplished only five times; and he ran only a tenth of a second slower than he ran in 1976 when, at the age of 20, he won the gold medal in Montreal. He joined Paavo Nurmi in history, the only runners to win the same individual Olympic event twice—eight years apart. Danny Harris, an American teenager, came in second, and Harald Schmid, a West German veteran, the last man to defeat Moses, in 1977, finished third. Moses costarred not with his rivals, but with his lovely West German wife, Myrella. She did the emotional work. As the race approached, and the tele- vision camera zoomed in on her, she displayed every nuance of feeling from anxiety to anguish. She cried. She trembled. She buried her face in her hands. Myrella knew, and she showed, much more than he did, how much the race meant to her husband.

  • Williams and Jeter Go 2-3 in Women's 100; Davis Gets Tj Bronze
    OFFICIAL TEAM USA NEWSLETTER • VOLUME V, NUMBER 4 • OSAKA, JAPAN • AUGUST 28, 2007 WILLIAMS AND JETER GO 2-3 IN WOMEN'S 100; DAVIS GETS TJ BRONZE OSAKA, Japan – Thanks to a stunning women’s 100 meters and a fine performance in the men’s triple jump, Team USA brought its medal tally to 7 Monday night at the 2007 IAAF World Outdoor Track & Field Championships. In easily the most dramatic race of the Championships thus far, Lauryn Williams (Miami, Fla.) initially looked as though she may have won her second world title in the women’s 100. The defending world champion, who has struggled since winning the 2005 world title, got off to an outstanding start and led the field at halfway. In the latter portion of the race, however, Olympic bronze medalist Veronica Campbell of Jamaica led a surge by the rest of the field, and five women – Williams, Campbell and Americans Carmelita Jeter (Long Beach, Calif.) and Torri Edwards (Corona, Calif.) and Belgium’s Kim Gevaert – crossed the line virtually simultaneously. But the gold was down to rivals Williams and Campbell, with Williams appearing to have won when seen with the naked eye. The scoreboard first flashed Edwards as the winner, which was clearly in error. Several more minutes passed before the final results were posted – Campbell first in 11.01 (-0.2 mps), which brought an audible gasp, and some gentle grumbling, from the crowd. Williams was listed as second in an iden- tical time. (Her photo finish time was .003 behind Campbell.) Jeter, who got her best start of the meet and employed her typical strong finish, was a sur- prising third in a personal-best 11.02, and Edwards was fourth in 11.05.
