Can you knock down hurdles and still win?
Yes, you could still win. The hurdles are there to slow you down – there’s no penalty for knocking them over. As long as you get over the hurdle, knocked down or not, you’re fine. It’s DEFINITELY not the most efficient way to run a hurdles race though.
Do you have to be tall to do hurdles?
Let’s be honest, hurdling is easier if you’re taller, and it is possible to be too small. In the women’s race, with the hurdles being only 33 inches (yes, I’m still griping about that), height isn’t nearly as much of an issue. If you have the sprinting speed, then you’ve gotta almost be a midget to be too small.

What makes a good hurdler?
There are many physical factors that contribute to a hurdler’s success, the primary ones being speed, power, endurance, flexibility, height, and quickness. While speed is arguably the most significant factor, it is also true that, over the years, the best hurdlers have not necessarily been the best sprinters.
Can you run under the hurdles?
Runners must remain in assigned lanes throughout a race, and, although they may knock hurdles down while running over them, a runner who trails a foot or leg alongside a hurdle or knocks it down with a hand is disqualified. The first hurdler to complete the course is the winner.
Are hurdlers short?
Let’s be honest, hurdling is easier if you’re taller, and it is possible to be too small. I would say that in the men’s high hurdles, 5-9 is about as small as you can be and still have a chance to be an elite hurdler. Anything smaller than that, and there’s just too much vertical involved in getting over each barrier.
