Paris 2024 Olympics Thread - 11th August (pg 430)

Fascinating chat in the last 10 mins of the morning show on Eurosport, where the non-athletics panel were questioning why 100m runners don’t pay more attention to aerodynamics, just like cyclists do, bearing in mind the speeds they reach.
I think the last runner to give this serious attention was Freeman at the Sydney Olympics.

On the show there was mention of wearing swim caps, padded bras to help on the dip, and running in speedos. High quality insight that.
 
Ugh, disaster for the Kenyan runner in the final heat for the 400m.

Feel for him.

Our very own Dobson winning it with ease, though.

Reckon GB News should have a panel about how Kenyans can improve their long distance running performance.
