Video: Chinese athlete hits every hurdle during University Games race After he hit the first two hurdles, the unidentified competitor decided to dispense with hurdling altogether and simply sprinted through the remaining barriers chest first. He successfully negotiated four hurdles in the fashion, and even managed to catch up with the leaders before the seventh hurdle sent him tumbling into a neighbouring competitor's lane. Clearly not troubled by the prospect of his already certain disqualification, the determind young man persisted and charged into his fellow racer's hurdle ahead of him, which forced his rival to take evasive action. Unperturbed, the athlete then clattered the final hurdle whilst still in the wrong lane before finally crossing the finish line in a remarkable sixth place.
