That's a good point. Normally, in hurdling, if you take off with your right foot, your left foot comes down first and your right in a running action lands further forward for maximum speed away from the hurdle, with the side effect of maximum pressure on the landing foot. Barton didn't do that, he landed both feet more or less together, suggesting that he was trying to take the prssure off his left foot.
Proves my point nicely, and you fell for my trap. IF he was hurdling Kayal's leg as so many of your fans are trying to point out, he wouldn't have landed the way he did. Landing with both feet together, or near enough together actually creates MORE force than the lead leg on it's own. Oh, and before you try and argue out of it, I'm an ex-Sussex County hurdle champion and a coach in the event.
