Are These Running Shoes a Fair Advantage to Smash World Records ?
Other
The Etheopian runner Tigst Assefa managed to smash the previous marathon world record using a pair of the latest running shoes , very expensive and are for using once only
To me this is not an achievement , when the shoes are creating the record not the wearer
In a long distance marathon the shoes are said to enable the runners to gain more than a 4 minute advantage
Obviously this applies in all sports , like grand prix racing , where the most technological vehicle has the most advantage of winning
But this is running , and the onus should be on the athlete, not what they are wearing
Some runners may not be able to afford these disposable shoes , £400 for one run then throw away
Any runners here that have a different opinion than me ?
congratulations to her. She won because she’s a top class athlete . If I were to wear those shoes I wouldn’t win!
Wow ok he smashed a record but the fact that the shoes are once only is dreadful. So wasteful and that not ok on the environment
