  1. My coach says that 400m Hurdles is the hardest event for a sprinter, I tried it once and I can tell you that at the end, the last hurdles seems like 3m height those last 50m after the hurdles feels like a kilometer, By now, I think I'll just keep in my 400m & 800m

  2. Sánchez was born in the USA and could have competed for them, I'm glad he competed for the Dominican Republic; they were so proud.

  3. Felix Sanchez is a great hurdler and is one of the best in recent years.But he can never be compared to Edwin Moses.USA boycotted the 1980 olympics.therefore Moses wasn't able to participate. If not Edwin Moses would've won 3 olympic gold medals.

  4. I loved how he left it off with the words, "I'll be in good company." The 400 hurdle community is a very classy group of people. Nothing but respect from me for both those heroic runners.

  5. Sad! Felix Sanchez will not win another medal because now He is retired 🙁
    Thank Felix Sanchez for all the memories!!
    Atenas 2004 and Londres 2012!!

  6. How to say which is the hardest event? Nobody competes at an elite level at all track and field events, and it's therefore impossible to say. 1 mile race and the lungs and throat scream. No other distance does that. 3,000 steeple is like no other. The 800 is a 200 meter sprint times 4. The 10,000 is too fast and too far. And the field events? I have no experience to even venture an opinion, further proving my point.

  7. Man these guys are moving so fast to run 400m hurdles at 48 seconds. I do 110m hurdles and 300m hurdles. I ran a PR this year of 46 seconds which I never even thought was possible for me. But I pushed my self harder each race and I did it.

  8. Getting up and doing it again.. I ran track in HS on a cinder track, won the event, but crashed and fell and skidded a long way on my shoulder. I had run another race right after that, bloody shoulder and all.. I still have scars from that over 40 years later. I couldn't run that far and that fast now even with a hungry lion with 3 broken legs chasing me..lol
    For those of you who don't remember cinder tracks they were brutal to fall down on..like landing on broken glass on concrete..

  9. It is a weird event, in that the 2016 Olympic gold medalist was almost a second slower than Edwin Moses PB 👍 In fact, Edwin Moses would have won the 2016 Olympic final running a mediocre race 👍 he’s right in saying the sport hasn’t moved on at all. It’s probably gone backwards

  10. Except…Moses would have 3 Olympic gold medals if not for the 1980 Moscow boycott…and Sanchez is running times now that Moses ran 35 years ago. Sorry, dude…but you couldn't carry Moses' jock.
