American hurdler Freddie Crittenden worked smarter not harder during a preliminary race in the men's 110m hurdles on Sunday at the Paris Olympics. In a bizarre sight, Crittenden jogged his way to last place in the heat, finishing with a time of 18.27 seconds. Normally, finishing in last place in a first-round race would mean Crittenden would be leaving Paris empty-handed.
But it was all part of the plan for the U.S. hurdler.
