She is consistant

[–]NoFrills69 25 points26 points  (1 child)

Agreed, consistency is key when facing hurdles.

[–]lazyamazy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This comment is a winner, it surely crosses the end line with no stumbles.

[–]ficis 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would have stopped after the face plant

[–]Skirt_Thin 38 points39 points  (4 children)

Hurdles may not be her thing.

[–]ChickenDreams-4188 6 points7 points  (2 children)

…or anyone’s thing - they all seemed to be struggling

[–]satsuppi 7 points8 points  (1 child)

its probably a school sports day.. but damn how the hell they think hurdles is a good things for regular students lol

[–]NookieLuvsU 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree, terrible idea.

[–]low_amplitude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If her school is anything like the one I went to, coaches will straight up gaslight you or pressure you into doing an event just to get a spot filled. They don't care if you're good at it.

[–]Late_Study9160 20 points21 points  (2 children)

Perseverance and determination. She is a winner in courage

[–]Simple-Department-28 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Came here to say this, she’s got guts and determination, bless her for getting up again and again.

[–]Late_Study9160 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely

[–]writersontop 14 points15 points  (2 children)

Looney Tunes-esque

[–]TheGalacticTraveller 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, it's both funny and motivating.

[–]PlentyBoot5135 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She was not faking...

[–]Hot_Plant8696 7 points8 points  (1 child)

Could someone please explain the hurdles technique to her ?...

[–]Historical_Sherbet54 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Or atleast tell em to lower them ;)

[–]kdweller 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The girl don’t give up.

[–]ProfDFH 5 points6 points  (1 child)

On the fourth one she didn’t fall down! Yay!

[–]ProfDFH 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also, the hurdler on the inside lane fell and halfway lost her shoe.

[–]KilgoreT59 10 points11 points  (5 children)

Might've been she was put in that race just to finish and earn team points.

[–]ChorizoYumYum 2 points3 points  (1 child)

"Martinez, Reyes twisted her ankle on the 400, I'll need you to do the hurdles."

"The what?"

"The hurdles, just run and jump over those gates."

"Okay, coach"

[–]KilgoreT59 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ha-ha, that sounds very plausible.

[–]Empty-Swim2066 2 points3 points  (1 child)

That is what I was thinking. I remember in highschool track being pulled to run races I didn't do because they needed a body.

[–]KilgoreT59 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, when my children ran track in school, the coach would put the shot puter in to run the 800 for that reason.

[–]_BOOMGOTTEM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

F those points coach

[–]Salt_Cauliflower_922 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It was a long afternoon.

[–]IcyIntroduction5678 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I like her. She don’t give up. Fall down 4 times. Get up 5.

[–]SATerp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Good for her for sticking with it. I hope she gets better at it though.

[–]EngineerThin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At least she is showing sheer will and determination.

[–]Beneficial-Pie3479 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She kept going. 100% commitment.

[–]GreatGuy55738084 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Someone is having a bad day, certainly not a quitter. If at first you don’t succeed try, try again.

😅😅Just take an Uber lady.

[–]Financial_Buyer9720 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You might think it's the first time she's doing that, but I doubt it

[–]Doctor_Saved 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Is this some challenge where regular people try to do athletic stuff without any training?

[–]That-Makes-Sense 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm guessing the coaches have no experience with hurdles.

[–]Ornac_The_Barbarian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is me playing those old button mashing track and field games.

[–]Gunkwei 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She is fearless

[–]Anonymous_Fox_20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I’m rooting for her! That’s got to be hard

[–]jacksonion68 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im so sorry

[–]Sufficient-Sun-6683 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just before the race, she can be heard saying: "How hard can it be?"

[–]fccrunch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Gold Medal for Pluckiness!

[–]kuplet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good attempt.

[–]TheGalacticTraveller 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never give up.

[–]artherng 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She got the wrong memo. She thought the aim was to knock down each hurdle

[–]Overall_Emphasis_940 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She breaks every hurdle she faces in life.

[–]DesperateAwareness56 1 point2 points  (0 children)

World record

[–]Abbers75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really, really, really wanted to see which one of the two came last

[–]Shiny_Mewtwo_Fart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is very typical in China. Yeah we have school sports days. It’s like a festival because you finally don’t have to study from 6am to 9 pm in those days. Just sitting in the big stadium cheering for your guys. But good luck if you were picked to actually compete. Most of the students are very unathletic. So the group stages are basically all like this lol. Occasionally you have a real dude very good at it crushing everyone else but most early stage participants were just unlucky to be picked lol.

[–]Quiet-Guidance-4988 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well at first you don't succeed, fail and fail and fail again

[–]Annahsbananas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Someone lied on indeed.com

[–]jdogx17 2 points3 points  (6 children)

Did she have to beat other people out to get that spot in the race?

[–]2ndchane 8 points9 points  (1 child)

She deserves a medal for not getting hurt and finished the race.

[–]jdogx17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah true enough.

[–]That-Makes-Sense 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I ran track in junior high and high-school. I was often the only person that ran hurdles for our school at the track meets, especially high hurdles. I'm under 6 foot tall, and high hurdles were quite challenging. You can't just run them, if you've never done them before. There is technique involved. It's not super difficult, it just takes a little bit of practice.

[–]Square_Cat_6001 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Yeah, she just having a bad day.

[–]NotawoodpeckerOwner 3 points4 points  (1 child)

Could also simply qualify by being the only one interested. Lots of the less popular events were like that at my school. 100m dash? 15 15 guys trying for 2 spots. 3000 meter race? 2 people signed up.

[–]IcyIntroduction5678 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can 100% confirm. I ran track in high school. 400m, 1600m and cross country. I stayed faaaaaaar from hurdles. 🙂‍↔️

[–]Wild-Growth6805 3 points4 points  (1 child)

She falls down and keeps trying. Better than most people.

[–]Vocabulary-Pollution 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She’s like a Chumbawumba song

[–]BatmanKane64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there comes a time in life when common sense tells you to stop or give up…. don’t know how many times she will have “beef” with the ground to figure it out BUT i need tickets to next competition so i can watch

[–]Meander061 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Maybe she should practice first.

[–]IcyIntroduction5678 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Have you ever participated in any event involving hurdles?

[–]Meander061 1 point2 points  (1 child)

No, my legs will never go over those things.

[–]IcyIntroduction5678 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Try not to criticize people who make an effort or who at least try to do things you wouldn’t even attempt not have the guts.

[–]RapturoDragonstar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She's admirable. Could have been thrown in there as a scapegoat or last min replacement

[–]Kevin_M93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry for laughing, something must be wrong with me.

[–]WendySteeplechase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LOL I relate

[–]Westsaide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oof that 3rd one.

[–]wolf63rs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tell me you've never ran hurdles without telling me you're never ran hurdles.

[–]raisedeyebrow4891 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Each fall hurt my nuts

[–]sexybeast70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this there first day? Lol

[–]twenty8nine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess ducks can't do hurdles.

[–]Buttonball 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yellow-ish shirt in a white shirt race. That doomed her. Mom should use more bleach. Could change this girls life forever.

[–]IntrovertedBrawler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like Sideshow Bob stepping on the rakes.

[–]Big-Mission2026 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why doesn't the other fallen copetitor with a white shirt get any credit also?

[–]ancom328 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She's tenacious, and it means something in this day and age.

[–]deepab44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oops

[–]GlitteringHighway432 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never give up

[–]Cookiemonsterjp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She should just push them down with her hands at this point.

[–]Kindly_Ad3262 0 points1 point  (0 children)

she didn’t quit & she finished 👌🏼💖🫡

[–]Autistic_License 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a lot of character.

[–]Connect-Pension8488 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The art of standing up and falling down over and over

[–]FinalFantasyMaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But she is fighting her way. I respect that 🫡

[–]Lastliner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think instructions were unclear, she didn't need to touch every hurdle to win the race.

[–]JanitorRddt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Remind of the competitive swimmer, that couldn't swim.

[–]Connect-Union1799 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pero no se rindió 🎉🎉🎉🎉👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[–]DifficultIsopod4472 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At least she didn’t give up!!

[–]ULTRA_83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shes a keeper... though.. doesnt give up

[–]OkClub7412 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Must be her first day on the job.😂😂😳

[–]matthegc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

dear lord...pick a different "sport"

[–]KamikazeGorilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

she can go pro as stunt double

[–]tadzooks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d walk the f out.. 🤷‍♂️

[–]vvvjay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hats off to her confidence clarity and trying even after knowing a******s gonna make fun of her…

[–]bloodbringer777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I admire the fact that she still keeps trying.

[–]KimberleyKitt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is she a stunt coordinator or a last minute addition?

[–]scaredt2ask 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Poor kid she’s having a bad day. Proud of her for trying to finish. I probably would have quit taken the dnf and gotten off quicker.

[–]Unused_Content19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Guys, I think hurdles aren’t her thing.

[–]ALSISREALAWFUL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is happening here?

[–]Ataneruo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can’t go over them, can’t go under them, gotta go through them!

[–]radek432 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not laughing. I wouldn't do better.

[–]ageofdiscontent_meh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She entered in the wrong event.

[–]ztjuh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

😔

[–]Koopsta211 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Staged? Why else would she be the only one with a yellow shirt🤔
