Hurdles, steeplechases and recewalking


One of the more technical events are hurdles, are needed speed and much coordination at the same time, at the time when pass the hurdle. In winter, the event most practiced is the 60m hurdle and in the summer season the distances change; 100m hurdles only practice in the modality female, for other side the 110m hurdles is only for the male category and 400m hurdles are as much as for male or female. The steeplechases are similar to the hurdles but distances are longer and one of the steeplechase barrier is followed by a pit of water, the distance is 3000m. The racewalking are similar to walk but can't bend your knees, the women only do the 20km and men also do the 50km.
