I tried searching for a general Athletics thread.

Love the name

 

[thestaggy]

I never knew you could do that.

I never knew you could do that.

Suppose they never bothered to say you couldn't, not unreasonably as the general consensus is that people value the skin making up their face so wouldn't attempt it.

Does the timer stop when you head crosses the line ?

 

[RedViking]

Does he have enough testosterone to make the jump legal?

Shoulders/Chest iirc

 

[Big Rat]

any part of your body over the line counts, excluding arms. head, chest. i think.

Yeah, official rules mention torso, so not arms, legs or head.

Correct, torso iirc.

 

[Big Rat]

you go into that dive, man, those thoughts about what cream to use afterwards, can you pick up the skin and attach it again, gonna leave a mark.
School level and i was doing the hurdles. second to last hurdle and my foot hooked. came down hard, skin was gone from my knee, elbows and upper chest. You could see white on my knee, almost cauterised the arteries. Took a long time to heal.

So in the ladies race, they can win by a tit?

I was wondering the act of him diving would slow him down

 

[Fulcrum29]

Infinite Tucker, nothing less was to be expected.

 

[Urist]

Sorry for caster if it comes to that hey.

Yeah I had assumed so - like in baseball when the batters are running to first base, they always run through the base rather than diving to it when they've got the choice of either (I'm guessing).

Just now IAAF will come out with new rules. The ladies with DD's have an unfair advantage.
