Hard to believe, but today (Tuesday) is the 50th birthday of Renaldo Nehemiah. Did you ever get to see him run in person? I believe he was just about the best high hurdler ever. What do you think? Happy birthday Renaldo.

I saw that race, too. In fact, I saw him run many times. Yes, he was the greatest. Liu and Robles, at their best, have been more impressive than anyone else since Nehemiah. But I think Skeets's superior speed would have prevailed in a theoretical race.

you might want to consider adding AJ to that list
i saw him on tv back in '90s run in brussels in not great weather, clattered a few hurdles, seemed to be running routinely ( for him ) on the flat with no great urgency & finished what seemed a 9 to 5 win in about 13.1/13.2 & the scoreboard flashed up
12.92 !!!
i thought there had been a scoreboard malfunction !
i've never seen such a fast, "poor" run

I was one of the officials who sign-off on his schoolboy 12.9 NR.
I stood in his lane and watched him run away from me-smooth - it was like his head stayed in the same spot just got smaller as he covered each hurdle.
I had a quick chat with him at Reebok @Icahn last year about that race.
Still looks like he can go 13.2 or so.Tom Hyland:
