How to use "Hurdle" in context?
A hurdle is a physical obstruction, such as a fence or series of stacked boxes, placed in a racecourse or arena to allow animals, especially horses and humans, to jump over them. Hurdles are also used in sport, primarily track and field, cross country running, and wheelchair rugby. They are also employed in circus workshops, as a means for skill performers to gain height and distance, and to allow scenes to be changed quickly.
