In 2008, Sanchez's grandmother died during the preliminary heats. He did badly back in 2008 Beijing Olympics. He vowed that he would win a medal for his grandmother before he retires. Here he is, winning the gold medal for his grandmother! RESPECT!

Yes to the memories of this race. Felix Sanchez is one of the all-time great 400 meter hurdlers.

SANCHEZ's spikes said abuela or grandma and it's so cute

Sanchez the one of the best runner in the distance 400m hurdles. good run.

After running the 200, 400 (earlier the 100) and then transitioning to hurdles in high school, I realized this was the best balanced raced in TnF. In HS there is only the 300 lows so I cant speak to the 400 hurdles but the hurdles is a true race that will teach you about endurance. More than the quater can, speed more than the 100 or 200 can, and technique and focus more than any other race - you take your eye off that bar or forget to power your back leg through and your 1 to 2 hurdle lead could be gone all in a flash. I loved the hurdles. Follow thru in life
