If he is allowed to run in the Olympics, the other athletes should be allowed to run in shoes that have springs in them. The energy storing rebound he can get gives him an advantage. The rolling heal plant that builds tension to be released at the push off gives him a distinct advantage without causing calf muscle fatigue.
A simple test to prove this would be a vertical jump competition. He will blow the others away.
They are designed to mimic the human foot, and calf, and are not an advantage. He can't compete with the very best, but he CAN compete, and the other competitors aren't crying about it. Get a life.
Really Idadho? You think he's at an advantage? You're a tool!
Let's compare sprinters with a vertical jump.... instead of a sprint. ???
So what's in the green smoothie??? Please share the recipe or the ingredients.
