Question for thought then, would they allow him in to the highjump? Would they buggery, they are sprung carbon fibre. It can't be right to let him run with technology that is debatable in one catagory and a clear advantage in another. It has to be one rule. Arguing use of technology is not an advantage is not enough of an excuse to use technology that isn't normally allowed.

Originally posted by TimberWolf View PostI'd like to think we'd have the makings of an altogether new exciting dimension to the Olympics, with new race categories. Would the pole vault be more exciting without a pole? Is a springy carbon fibre pole more of an advantage than no pole, or any different to springy carbon fibre leg attachments?
It's never fair. Some people have bigger muscles, more hormones, longer legs, etc.Comment

A few years ago Chris Boardman won a track cycling gold riding a custom built bike that was different to every other competitors. After that Olympics they banned it and introduced ruls ensuring all riders were on a level playing field in terms of technology.
I'm surprised they let him in (although I think what he does is pretty cool)If at first you don't succeed... skydiving is not for you!Comment
