FINA banned the shiny suits partially because they gave some people an unfair advantage.Then they turn around and OK adding the fins to the blocks.They supposedly make starts 0.2-0.4 faster.That is not a trivial amount especially in a 50.Being able to practice with them before a meet that has them is undoubtedly beneficial.Very few swimmers will have access to them on a regular basis.Is this fair,what say you?
Back in the day, people who swam well in the surf were probably upset when those wave-calming lane lines allowed the weaker among them to now stay up in the race... :bolt:
