Information about Chris Rawlinson

Chris Rawlinson (born: May 19, 1972 in Rotherham, England) is an all-round athlete who has made his name as a 400 m hurdler.

After trying the pole vault, decathlon and 110 m hurdles in his early career Chris has found the gruelling 400 m hurdles to be his number one event.

A graduate of Loughborough University, Chris holds the world record of 34.48 seconds for the rarely-run 300 m hurdles, which he set at Sheffield, England on June 30, 2002. In July 2004 he ranked third on the United Kingdom all-time list for the 400 m hurdles with a time of 48.14 seconds, set in 1999 at Zurich, Switzerland. He is the UK record holder for the rarely-raced 300m hurdles.

In the build-up to the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Greece, Chris was ranked number five in the world by the IAAF.

Rawlinson retired from competitive athletics at the end of 2005 at the age of 33. [1]

He married Australian athlete Jana Pittman on March 31 2006.
