 Hurdles First - Double-armed Man
As I continue to gather research for the biography I plan to write on 1972 Olympic high hurdle champion Rodney Milburn, I find that the thing that most intrigued me about his hurdling technique was his employment of a double-arm motion during hurdle clearance.
Although this style of hurdling is considered archaic by today’s standards, it enabled Milburn to become the most dominant hurdler of his era, and one of the greatest hurdlers ever.
Putting the technical jargon aside, the point Ross was making was that Milburn’s habit of carrying his arms so high caused him to spend more time in the air, as opposed to the more efficient style keeping the lead arm low and pulling the trail arm straight back, with the elbow bent.
