Sally Pearson, 2012 AREVA Paris Meeting, July 6, photo by PhotoRun.net
Sally Pearson is the dominant 100m hurdler over the last two years. She won the 2011 World Outdoor Championships, held in Daegu, Korea, and the 2012 World Indoor Championships, held in Istanbul, Turkey.
The 100 meter hurdles is a terribly fast event. Over in less than thirteen seconds for the elite, Sally Pearson combines great speed, control between and over the hurdles and fearless style of hurdling.
Less than two weeks ago, in London, Sally Pearson told the assembled media that she is thinking about world records, which mean times around 12.20 for the 100 meter hurdles. She is that fast!
The Shoe Addicts prepared this salute to Sally Pearson prior to her momentous days in London. We hope that it adds to your enjoyment of our sport!
