post-puberty males from the F category. Under UKA transitional arrangements, males who had already entered races in the F category could still race. I assume this is how Frank was allowed to race ystday. Nevertheless, males in the F category is UNFAIR for females.

I think spring loaded carbon fiber shoes are massively confounding what we’re seeing from the times today, by the way. Even a 1-min benefit (1 to 2%) would account for the depth of quality you just saw. It distorts the performance, maybe even more than doping. #londonmarathon
On this, you have a draw a line in the historical record books in about 2017, because thereafter, no comparison with any previous generation is possible. How big is X? Who knows? But X is large enough to make BN vs AN comparisons dubious and possibly irrelevant
Swimsuits did the same thing, especially the LZR and the generation of crazy suits it spawned in the 2008. The difference is that records in swimming don’t carry the historical weight that running ones do. But it’s the same debate, conceptually. I’d prefer all devices banned
