The reigning Rio champion had long straggly hair. Perhaps that's why she failed this time . . .The medal thing, I am surprised this has ever or will ever happen again. It's not surprising.. The pole vault thing, of course they all have the same hairstyle, long hair has a higher drag coefficient than short hair (please tell me they were all short haired ladies)
Now what is surprising is how well the UK have done, so far. We are a tiny nation, doing OK.
point irrefutably proven there Bear, bet she had short hair when she bossed gold.The reigning Rio champion had long straggly hair. Perhaps that's why she failed this time . . .
No. But she had a hair band on, which would still not have got her on to the podium in 2021.point irrefutably proven there Bear, bet she had short hair when she bossed gold.
When it comes to jumping high using a long stick, I know my onions.
So it's sports science concentrating on hair styles, it was bound to happen.No. But she had a hair band on, which would still not have got her on to the podium in 2021.
Also more consistent track texture is reducing resistance as well.So it's sports science concentrating on hair styles, it was bound to happen.
Actually on a serious note the spikes used with carbon fibre plates are probably to blame for better performances across track and some field events.
No, they were not. They all had medium-length hair done in braids.The medal thing, I am surprised this has ever or will ever happen again. It's not surprising..

1968 is more than 50The age difference between the oldest and youngest medallist is 50 years. That's equals the 1968 age difference.
Thought it was 66 to 16?1968 is more than 50
Debbie Mayer and Louis Navarraz1968 is more than 50
It was a joke liamo, not to be confused with everything else I post which is very serious.
Also more consistent track texture is reducing resistance as well.
One reason given for fast track cycling times earlier in the week was air pressure. At 950mbar it surprised me that it would have a recognised effect.
In the Women’s sprint qualifying 17 riders smashed the old Olympic record. Proving the improvement in quality of the bikes as well as atmospheric conditions within the velodrome. Gear sizes clearly a good reason.Heat and humidity is definitely having an effect, but it's mainly the jump in gear sizes at the head of a perfect storm of variables causing such big jump in records being smashed.
