Agger 1,609 Posted August 13, 2016 #673 Share Posted August 13, 2016 13 minutes ago, OlympicsFan said: I absolutely agree, this is ridiculous. I still remember womens 200 breast podium last year. For me medals become less special if half of the athletes in the final get one. Its also completely random to only look at the hundreds of a second, why not also look at the thousands of a second or only at the tenths of a second? If there is a possibility to get a more precise measurement, then it should be used. Why doesnt athlete X, who is one thousandth of a second faster than athlete Y, deserve a "better" medal? In the end this athlete has been faster and showed a better performance ... It has been in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Measuring in ten thousandths of a second is impossible with current measuring accuracy, since you'd also need to be 100% sure that the pool has the exact same length of all sides, correct to the 0,0001 millimeter or something and that's just not possible. There has been quite a lot of research on how accurate timing can be, because timing with more numbers behind the comma doesn't automatically make it more fair.

I don't think a luge track stays the same after every run, and still they use milesimals. If they can send a man to the moon or potentiate the force of atoms to obliterate humanity, sure they can come with a gadget to make this possible.
