For this, she praises Dr. Keith Pyne, who was able to work on Freeman when he lived in Dallas. <br>Using a therapy called Active Release Treatment Techniques (ART), Pyne was able to help Freeman avoid injuries and increase the intensity of her training.  What I would do with Michelle is not so much treat injuries, but make sure her gait patterns and kinetic firing patterns were in proper order to maximize her ability to perform. Active Release helps break up the fascial planes and scar tissue that would form from the stress of being an athlete at that level. <br>At the 1996 Olympics, Freeman channeled her great focus while maintaining proper sprint mechanics to place 6th in the 100-meter hurdles. Now this powerful athlete is focusing on the next 2004 Olympics. Michelle Freeman looks forward to pulling out all the stops and running as fast as she can to claim her goal: the title of Fastest Woman in the World.ichelle Freeman is a track and field athlete <br> who runs too fast. Seriously. She's a world-record hurdler who was ranked number one in the world in 1997 and made the finals of the Olympic Games, but paradoxically, she is just too fast for her event. <br> You can run only as fast as your technique will allow, says Freeman's coach, Beverly Kearney.  Hurdling is a more technical event than sprinting, and Michelle's speed makes it even more difficult for her because there's only so fast you can go between barriers. Micelle is really explosive, and sometimes her competitiveness gets the best of her and as a result she doesn't execute technically as well and the speed takes over. <br>An example of what Coach Kearney is talking about occurred during the Challenge of Champions Race held on June 1, 1997. In this special event in which superstar athletes were pitted in one-on-one competitions, a primed Freeman faced reigning Olympic champion Ludmila Engquist of Sweden. Freeman had an explosive start, and at sixty meters it seemed she would win easily by several steps. But as the race progressed, her technique faltered, and this allowed Engquist to overtake her in the last 30 meters to win 12.82 to Freeman's 12.96. <br>In addition to losing ground to technique, Freeman had been finding it difficult to stay healthy. Coach Kearney remarks,  The hurdles are an extremely violent event in terms of the demands it makes on the body, more so than straight sprints." In fact, so stressful are the hurdles that at one competition Freeman hit the sia_Wp;}+8o[Z+ԉZh[܎k TIis sAD܆ B =Ǡjg ,#ץ. zS|֐JO썇l?jp7N7zAh_ԁtH;zbl61a]X^&aSƼ ژnG#i59>dL̬sdW,C?t=ڸzY^ 0OMo_XuïOi^#Ԛ4XzQ7)F󞂹n^R抝M)cg$=ż̷ZGx>Q?S$2(G$O1iIA<RݧY/"$lm\kJ+]=m=D ̧Q3 7 C~ x#Mfo2}-`]Sgeo\QZ7?x3gҞ`cE/ *' 5x@'/ST($=}'#G,seB;u?vYfAªKs^$ICz+)WU;5\O=n=i㊴W§yg͚<Ϭj.xkB ՅQmJ۶u.ZCץvl:OtWԿ:2# (N|P 6yR!N*ȶqlcR+@d#o^mKIF>6?UkZYB|DJ-;x;݄lJ J`phB)[G7rhҤ 5qqq+"ؽ.TѾA~Mq%}`^0M>cH+!nIberCIR֤jWS 48[\^jbM:qRU7fFٰq-/Gr4͗V{%8l?\:}k!9P ȣӮ<g_FeU5X=?>d9B˷]ӯopT8l>?fNwo#]ݙ<إt]?!;qKKRgzر(o$O'ﳜo6I+gwmo:M=~y7N//Vտ(pտJ?g7<Ca^zkÉշ=ٲX|Ƴe_-#c X'G]<ˎ<լ iY7d5$ 9 (vdDydC$+3gQѿ)tϯ)!#IG.|o9%`eJ=#tȶ"e2P7>co>MD6ݖ8 %#}`[q2x% gd-yYUy$L g|i=d7KFCwO(+^|EZd4 C!ʨUI9"h%S񤑞hú[+ח i#3je\S~C ױX^16>+v/kGepݑ2Ů-ҧUE(,+ˍc(񉢔)ٔStC^?V(=HojU:Uu99<[Le}u{BE#f?p?2h:jjede#*6B3>G#/ }Xڻ~5ˢW}±r#rX$ F xr;!Jl+0^WkF2%hJo!?R.iJf)e{\+]~$|JgF&~]y=MGLVڔF3BHґ6E%ZWZ(dfw`j"XŸֵ [̞}bA'f@W6-k< 4Dfcqοˏb1kv~Z7:{ET\>''_ ^ë^֟R.oQYQcg^_ XW-a[g0?܄/ǻG)Hm"g*JbdXWi^9"Gv"}1) )&D#H͔{0 !k+o>s?fKK+gGM`\3T|*d-JL)mCc#䌀7ۅ>y\?]93mL[:V>mhw /=:HDm{w&Ex`M+̞bk?SDd}e9XC3,'bOMaOfX[dDp7A/ڨyQyNW@+lKai4WBGW#yaS"nRi2&6[yX]$ir^ 4U|%Y/[vo,^2$?MTZ_\Z"QJ; Qy/wBÐ/ʹ_¹%UBO,"2>9U'!IiIͬ@@sb_b #Ssc~yD\X@r3HėO3SX TEH'wQsC?UGq]rATON\r_nLWXּhN,D2| z}r#qWfEzJkײѼA%9-xLwI@)y8x㌕N \ sGG1Lf%Q`7s-@Ja:=ޭjt"j'@G0N>pF3"p4-k{ ~_ʒijrHGQqɊ9#А>c%V NQ t|jW{)c߻h XI>rOc~^Q<>qs3G0Iά3'Qߎ(L5 ZUh!a8Wi\>,Ê1<@op:^YWX$GC]\ζi(䴒Gx|#~p1k89-ΠeO\ȑnߺ`* **d‱?-EĉHmuXI5}R>VG(7^')lMFQ? )_l\jSM#2- KI4Px4GXK4z1<Ӡ&6a4%[U =wrHxzu54kaQ22j͆#|P~;?i\}se'o3N^o"c`{Xc)\8{6QWˑ˫ӕ= DGS^cz/9![b SNr~V%BUïoqm%J7ߒ6[ۊ~oʹߓ"tpǁ5>182FТ1P77hANԖ%u^/%M/2-δd y6LqQۗK9DHzJ?h*w ٲ"fG' +@EF&8Ԯ3ewcoUz}ޱ: 1?,u޳qΠ~;d6YᯃDO4"*i؃7] fŕ?*ﱦՆƤ_6*A!FNHF3b" "lwW hhcOv%ks^zVaDe#`VD4?50U95XI4XhŽ.6w c}%k3U+QwL柳k~#,Ņt_ppw\Z^ Q]ܺ~9,jf")?^L?/{0'S${CQV!Gӆ(:a0H;2|:cL(^_q ԖTAi om6
