Changes to make to article on hurdling (Hurdling):

-Needs updated pictures in terms of showing prominent figures in current track and field (show pictures of Aries Merritt aka current World record holder) and Devon Allen (US olympic trials champion of 2016 and USATF Championships 3rd place medalist 2017).

-Added this picture: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Flickr_-_az1172_-_110H%C3%BC_92Merritt_94Robles_95A.Johnson_96_Blaschek_91_Oliver_u.Olijars.jpg

-which shows aries merritt in germany in 2006

-The variant section (about shuttle hurdles) is fairly short and does not contain much information

-I would add a picture of shuttle hurdle set up

-Add text about professional shuttle hurdle records

-Using a citation from the USATF records website (offical USA track and field organization)

Added: "Men's team from USA, Aries Merritt, Jason Richardson, Aleec Harris, and David Oliver hold the US and World Record in the 440m shuttle hurdle race at a time of 52.94 seconds (set on April 25th, 2015). The world record on the women's side, Brianna Rollins, Dawn Harper-Nelson, Queen Harrison, Kristi Castlin together ran a 400m shuttle hurdle race at at time of 50.50 seconds on August 24th, 2015. " (with appropriate citations)
