वुमेन्स 400 मीटर हर्डल्स फायनल

The 400-meter hurdles is a track and field event in which athletes must complete one lap around a standard outdoor track while jumping over a series of hurdles. It combines speed, endurance, and technique. Here are some key points about the event:

Race Structure
Distance: 400 meters, typically one complete lap around the track.
Number of Hurdles: 10 hurdles are evenly spaced around the track.
Height of Hurdles: Men's hurdles are 36 inches (91.4 cm) high, while women's hurdles are 30 inches (76.2 cm) high.
Technique and Strategy
Start: Athletes use starting blocks and sprint towards the first hurdle.
Hurdling Technique: Efficient clearance of each hurdle with minimal disruption to running rhythm is crucial. Athletes typically use a "lead leg" and a "trail leg" to clear the hurdle smoothly.
Stride Pattern: Maintaining a consistent stride pattern between hurdles is important to avoid stuttering steps before each hurdle. Common patterns include 13-15 strides between hurdles for elite athletes.
Pacing: Managing energy and maintaining speed throughout the race is essential, as the final stretch can be particularly challenging due to fatigue.
Notable Athletes
Men: Edwin Moses, who dominated the event in the 1970s and 1980s, and Karsten Warholm, who set the current world record.
Women: Sydney McLaughlin, who has set multiple world records and dominated recent competitions.
Training
Speed Work: Sprint training to build speed and endurance.
Hurdle Drills: Practice drills to improve technique and efficiency over hurdles.
Strength and Conditioning: Exercises to build overall strength, particularly in the legs and core, to improve power and stability.
Records
Men's World Record: 45.94 seconds, set by Karsten Warholm in 2021.
Women's World Record: 50.68 seconds, set by Sydney McLaughlin in 2022.
The 400-meter hurdles is one of the most demanding events in track and field due to the combination of speed, stamina, and technical skill required to excel.
