  1. And to this day, 24 years later, nobody has ran the 400m hurdles below 47 seconds :O
  2. WATTS IS IN THE BUILDING. KEVIN YOUNG, GREAT ATHLETE GREAT PERSON
  3. they seemed to run slow compared to women that they were sooo fast
  4. There is a athlete in California VERY close to beating his record. He's in 12 grade and runs a 46.78.
  5. He hit a friction hurdle and broke the WR. Jesus.
  6. That's just wrong. You should be running the 400 hurdles just as hard as you run a normal 400, add in the hurdles and that is why it is so brutal. You must not have been very good in the 400m hurdles if you're not running it as hard as your open 4. I run the hurdles in college, I have a lot of experience.
  7. You don't jump the hurdles, you step over them. The pace which you are running at carries you over the hurdles, also knee up first then the rest of the leg.
  8. i do this race it really sucks
  9. Alright... These videos are making me feel so bad about my self! During my Football practice, at the beginning of the year we had to run 2 laps around the field (Total distance of about 370M each lap) but we got to rest for 2 minutes between each lap and we were supposed to average under 65... I used to average 60... But one time, towards the end of the season when I was in good shape, we were only supposed to do one lap... And I did in 57 seconds! This guy does 400M WITH HURDLES in 47.02! FML!
  10. Everyone saying that the 400 hurdles is worse than the 400 has obviously not done both, i compete in both and even though jumping hurdles may seem worse off you dont realise that your tired because you are so focused on getting your rhythm and stride pattern right, and if your technique is solid the hurdles shouldn't be much of an effort anyway
  11. kevin young is crazy. he's still the only human being to run sub 47 in the 400m hurdles
  12. hey guys why you all talking about cancer and soullessness? whats wrong in this comments?
  13. He came to my fricken school today during our school olympics. This is amazing he told us about how he did this.
  14. Could have been 46.70 if he had a good start...not to mention he raised his hands at the finish and didnt even try
  15. I want to kill myself during the 300m hurdles. Theres no way I would last in this.
  16. First off, what you just stated--WRONG! He was the only one to run 12 strides between hurdles for most of the race. That is not being juiced, but reflecting his ability to take advantage of his long inseam. Nagging injuries ultimately led to his slowing of times.
  17. trolls get raped.
  18. 20 years and still a record!!! BRAVO!
  19. Broke WR, could barely break 50 seconds afterwards. JUICED.
  20. Great record.. he was a special talent.. edwin moses was just more consistant. By the time kevin really got going edwin was starting to get older. Would have love to see these two run at their best.. the record would be about a 46.4 or something in that range
