NEW YORK (USA): It was interesting to see in the Millrose Games 60 m hurdles the 400 m hurdles World champion Kori Carter as 5th in 8.10 PB, former Olympic winner Dawn Harper-Nelson 6th in 8.18 and twitter star returning from bob-sleigh Lolo Jones as 7th in 8.37. For Jones it was back into indoor racing after 2 years.

RunBlogRun opines: The women’s 60 meter hurdles may be the hardest event in the U.S. from which one could make a team. Timing is key, rhythm is key and focus is key. One percent off, and well, you do not make a U.S. team, and most years, making the U.S. team is harder than making the global final.

Fascinating to see Kori Carter, Dawn Harper-Nelson aond Lolo Jones back in the indoor hurdle game.

With every setback–there is nowhere to go but on. My first hurdle race in over year ðŸ“† tomorrow #millrosegames ðŸ“NYC ðŸ“º NBC âŒšï¸4-6 pm ET
