The cheaters are at it again :D Now they are using floating devices ahhhh evil suits AND new evil starting blocks. :applaud: Just watched the Berlin races ... the reactions times are down and I saw people approach the 5 meter mark on the entry - they are launching off those blocks.

  • Chris, It doesn't slow down the meet at all to readjust the blocks. You just lift and slide to what ever position you want, it takes 2 seconds. The blocks are expensive........the number that sticks in my head is $2,000 per, which is why they only had them at one end of he pool for SCM at Toronto last May. I don't usually do a track start, but these blocks make it much easier and natural to put one foot back.
