I mean it happens in less than 1% of Olympic events (I would guess) so that is acceptable for me Link to comment https://totallympics.com/forums/topic/845-bobsleigh-at-the-winter-olympic-games-2018/page/26/#findComment-126567 Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a sport like bobsleigh ties happen by accident, there is no way to force one. Expand Alright, but still you have the likes Dom Fischnaller missing out on a luge medal by 0.002. Would have been a tie in bobsleigh. #banbestmen Link to comment https://totallympics.com/forums/topic/845-bobsleigh-at-the-winter-olympic-games-2018/page/26/#findComment-126568 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taking a modern physics lab, where we spent a ridiculous amount of time talking about error margins, has made me ponder how we should round times in sport quite a bit and whether we should just give ties within a certain time regardless of how it rounds / trims.
