I never said anything about "slowing down" but rather perfecting the current lunge in a close race to an all out "dive-to-win" with, as Mudda_take_sic suggests, some softening of the track immediately after the finish line to mitigate possible injuries. As for "it is what it is", me thinks it should never be what it truly isn't.
Many of us really need to get over 2008. Two wrongs never make a right. And besides, a controlled "dive-to-win" with perfected technique at the right moment in the right zone immediately before the finish line could easily become the more common (and, yes, faster) way of completing a race. It cannot be denied though that many believe any running race should be won by the track athlete with the fastest legs and feet as opposed to other parts of the body crossing the finish line first. Even taller athletes with longer torsos and exceptionally long arms should be made to win the race with their legs and feet as opposed to some other part of their body.

Re-post: Precisely put! It's painfully obvious whose feet crossed the finish line first in a controlled running motion and therefore it's quite understandable why Allyson Felix, who clearly had the fastest feet in the 2016 Olympic Games women's 400 meter event, should feel so disappointed along with most of her very many fans. No one likes to feel they have somehow been gypped!

The Tribune reporter who wrote this article (Taneka Thompson) should be ashamed of her poor standards as a supposed journalist. She refers to "an economic impact report", "a document", "a study", but fails to mention who commissioned the report and who authored it. Shoddy journalism to say the least and par for the road for The Tribune these days!
Once again here's all you need to know about Sears and Maynard-Gibson being instrumental in 'twisting the law and the facts' in order to have the court's original guilty verdict against Craig Flowers quashed and his criminal record expunged. Flowers was simply allowed to walk away a free man notwithstanding the overwhelming factual evidence warranting his imprisonment.

The mere fact that you would ask the question against the backdrop of what is already publicly well known says all there is to know about you. I suspect Well_mudda accepts the maxim that no one need answer to anyone incapable of listening to anything except what they want to hear.
