  • Design and Materials in Athletics
    Published in Materials in Sports Equipment, Volume 2, A. Subic (Editor), Woodhead Publishing, Cambridge 2007 pp. 296–320. 12 Design and Materials in Athletics N. Linthorne Brunel University, UK 12.1 Introduction Athletics has been described as many sports within a sport. There are 24 events in the Olympic competition programme, and these events may be grouped into sprints, middle-distances, long- distances, hurdles, relays, walks, jumps, throws, and multi-events. To excel in a particular event an athlete must be genetically endowed with an appropriate body size. The athlete must then undertake physical training to develop the required mix of strength, speed and endurance; and spend many hours practicing the technical and tactical skills of the event. Athletes who are successful in the international arena usually specialise in just one event. Most athletics competitions are held under the rules and regulations of the International Association of Athletic Federations (IAAF), which was founded in 1912 and has about 220 member nations. Of interest to the sports engineer and sports scientist are the restrictions on the design of the competition facilities, the design of the athlete’s equipment, and the techniques that the athlete may employ. An unstated but underlying philosophy in athletics is that the outcome of a competition should be determined by the physical and technical abilities of the athlete, and not by differences in the quality of the athletes’ equipment (Julin, 1992). Most of the rules for the competition arena and the athlete’s equipment are ‘proscriptive’ in that the material, construction, and dimensions are specified in detail and to high precision; whereas the rules for the athlete’s technique are ‘restrictive’ in that they usually specify what is forbidden, rather than specifying how the movement must be performed.

INTRODUCTION At the 2008 Summer Olympic Games in Beijing, China, track and field spectators marveled at the world-record breaking performance of Jamaican sprinter, Usain Bolt, in the Men’s 100-Meter Final.1 In running 9.69 seconds and breaking his previous world record of 9.72, Bolt stunned observers as he ran his time with no measurable wind assistance and slowed in the last 15 meters of the race to celebrate his victory.2 Yet before 2008, Bolt had never broken 10 seconds in the 100 meters; in fact, the 100 meters was not even considered Bolt’s strongest track event.3 Later that week, Bolt went on to claim two more world records while earning Olympic gold medals in the 200 meters and 4x100 meter relay.4 Not surprisingly, Bolt has faced questions from reporters about taking performance-enhancing drugs.5 While Bolt has denied such allegations and has never failed a drug test, he is subject to public skepticism, especially given track and field’s tainted history of drug scandals by a number of Olympic champions, world champions, and record holders.6 As Bolt now must defend the legitimacy of * Ms. Lambert received her Bachelor’s of the Arts in History from Princeton University, 2006; and her Juris Doctorate from Temple University Beasley School of Law, 2010.

  • Cas Upholds Aiu Charges Against Danil Lysenko and Imposes a Six Year Ban on the Russian High Jumper
    PRESS RELEASE CAS UPHOLDS AIU CHARGES AGAINST DANIL LYSENKO AND IMPOSES A SIX YEAR BAN ON THE RUSSIAN HIGH JUMPER 05 JULY 2021, MONACO: The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has upheld charges laid by the Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) against Russian high jumper Danil Lysenko, for multiple breaches of the Anti-Doping rules including whereabouts failures and tampering with the results management process. The case was heard directly by CAS in May under the terms of the athlete’s Neutral Athlete agreement with World Athletics, and a CAS Panel has imposed a six-year ban on Lysenko (two years for the whereabouts breaches and four years for Tampering) commencing on 3 August 2018, the date of his provisional suspension. The CAS Panel further held that two years of the six year period of ineligibility should be suspended on account of the Substantial Assistance that the athlete provided to the AIU in bringing charges against former RusAF officials, Dmitry Shlyakhtin and Artur Karamyan and his ineligibility will therefore end on 3 August 2022. The CAS decision is final and binding and means that the athlete will now miss this year’s Olympic Games as well as next year’s World Championships in Eugene. The reasoned decision of the CAS Panel has not yet been made available but will be published in due course. In a separate proceeding, the athlete’s coach, Evgeniy Zagorulko, admitted to violations of Tampering and Complicity in connection with the AIU’s investigation into the Lysenko whereabouts case and accepted a 4-year period of ineligibility under the applicable rules.
