message: So, who was guilty of the false start in the 2008 hurdles, just before Liu dropped out?  Wikipedia currently claims that Liu was not guilty.  However, the cited article clearly claims the contrary.Pierrecurie (talk) 06:49, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: According to the official results published here the false start (F1 under heading Fn) was caused by Marcel van der Westen. Guss2 (talk) 07:36, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  False Start 

message: The article says,
: Liu, at 1.89 m (6 ft 2 in) and 85 kg (187 lb), was taller than most sprint hurdlers, and he has showed spectacular athleticism by constraining his naturally long stride to the three-step pattern necessary in order to avoid the alternation of lead legs in hurdling.
A longer stride means fewer stides to cover the same distance. It's shorter, not taller, hurdlers who four-step (and btw, that requires atheleticism to lead with both legs in the mentioned alternation). Since there is no reference for the item, I propose it would be OK to err on the side of logic and delete that item. The item would make sense if it were possible for Liu to **two**-step the hurdles, but I think that would be superhuman, I've never heard of anyone even trying that.
