New blocks installed for the Worlds.
I've read that the use of the new blocks was postponed due at lack of availability. A change of mind of FINA ?
You can see it on the official website.
look at this image.
A predetermined PSI would be unfair to some. How much for a 6'6" 250lbs and how much for a 5'5 123lbs (both males of course; women will need a more delicate charge)?:bolt:
there would be a need for a pre-race weigh in, and each swimmer would then be given a weigh belt, so that all the smaller swimmers weigh as much as the largest for each event.
or set a min weight, so the larger swimmers would be at disadvantage, but the smaller swimmers would have to wear weight belts to reach that min weight.
