@TrackGazette Because the 150 meters is a non traditional distance, the time is a world best, not a record. Sort of like running against a horse. Or the 180 yard short hurdles.
@ClutchPoints When you are playing at world-class level, flopping looks like part of the job description. I hope the players have cushioning around hip bones as well as the knees.
With the overly long shorts, It is difficult to see the muscles as the player springs away from contact.
@MKucala@VanityFair It is a male dominator culture. It would lessen the chances of pederasty. It would most likely lose its tight grip over the lives of many, many people.
