Untrue.
If a hurdle is properly "clattered" rather than knocked, that is the honest effort distinction. The sound is the key.
This is why at least one official must always have eyes closed during the sprint hurdles.
This wins
Why does this matter?! The D2 kid Myles Hunter beat both of them running 7.53 this weekend

Must be a troll. How would he/she know which hurdler was doing what?
Hunter ran 0.02 faster and cleared all his hurdles smooth AF.

Seems faster to just run through the hurdles rather than over them these days.
Here is an example of a faster hurdle time (Jared Eaton) where I think only one hurdle is knocked down and he just brushes another. The other four he doesn't seem to touch, or brushes them lightly enough to not move the hurdle.

60 meters is a very short distance, putting even more importance on the start and finish. Very common to hit all the hurdles. Very common to hit 5-7 hurdles in the 110s as well.
It is not common for the race winner to knock over 5-7 hurdles
