Robles dashes to hurdles win

June 08, 2007

Dayron Robles missed his target time but had little trouble dispatching with the field en route to winning gold in the 110-meter hurdles at an IAAF Grand Prix meet in Lille, France on Friday. On a warm, humid day at the Stadium Nord arena, the Cuban hurdler kept his cool as he raced away from the competition to win in 13.27 seconds. Robles, who ran a 13.17 in late May and whose personal best is 13.00, said earlier this week that he hoped to run under 13 seconds in Lille. (WCSN, WCSN.com) Copyright (c) 2007 WCSN.com.
