Battle of Honey Springs

Eddy Ottoz won the gold medal in the 50 m hurdles at the age of 23 at the 1967 European Indoor Games.[1]

50 metres hurdles is a distance in hurdling, usually only run in indoor competitions. Because very few contests are held over the distance, most of the fastest times recorded for the event were set during specially measured and timed races over longer distances, typically the 55 metres hurdles or 60 metres hurdles.
