My Take
Greg Foster simply belongs among the all-time greats of the hurdles. Born in Chicago in 1958 and shaped at UCLA, he became the first man to win three consecutive 110 metre hurdles titles at the World Championships, spanning 1983 to 1991. What floors me is the sustained precision that demands: one ragged stride over a barrier ends everything, yet he held the world's summit for years. That is ferocious discipline. His death in 2023 closed a remarkable chapter, but the records and the imagery endure. I tip my hat to a man who turned relentless rhythm into legend.
