"To become a good hurdler you require three key skills: – speed, – excellent flexibility and – extreme elastic strength.
Sally Pearson has all of those in abundance”.Colin Jackson,
former 110m hurdles world champion
Pearson in full flight has variously been described as– a stone skimmed across a lake, or – water in a stream flowing over boulders.
Like all great hurdlers she appears not to so much jump into each hurdle as float over them.
