	110 metre hurdles - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The next 9 hurdles are set at a distance of 10 yards (9.14 m) from each other, and the home stretch from the last hurdle to the finish line is 15 yd 1 ft (14.02 m) long.
		After the length of hurdles races was rounded up to 110 meters in France from 1888 on, the standards were pretty much complete except for Germany where hurdles of 1 meter height were used until 1907.
		The current running style where the first hurdle is taken on the run with the upper body lowered instead of being jumped over and with three steps each between the hurdles was first used by the 1900 Olympic champion, Alvin Kraenzlein.
