Freddie Crittenden, an American 110-meter hurdler, injured his adductor, so he’s banking on advancing to the final round through the “repechage” heat.
Hurdles are Freddie Crittenden’s job. Still, sometimes it seems like it would be better if he could face more of the real ones and fewer of the metaphorical kind. Crittenden was second in the 110-meter hurdles at the U.S. Olympic Trials in June, running his way onto his first Olympic team at age 29. In the final, he ran 12.93—his first time under 13 seconds.It was a complete reversal in three years.
Crittenden started a part-time job last September that suited him, working with G Road, an after-school program for kids in Phoenix. And he settled into a routine. That led to his breakthrough at the Trials and his chance at the Games. All was going well in his training and even better in his life. He lined up a contract with Adidas. And his wife, Tor, gave birth to their first child, a daughter named Zari, on July 17. Crittenden joked that by coming to Paris, he was able to get some sleep.
