No point being animated then, as it's unlikely to be accurate.
I always wonder how accurate the WR line is for swimming events... is it linear, base on splits, or more granular?
- emp_ 10y agoIts based on each split. Found a quora link with more details: [1] [1] https://www.quora.com/How-is-the-yellow-world-record-line-in-swimming-competitions-calculated-is-it-assuming-an-even-pace-over-the-whole-distance-or-is-it-where-the-current-WR-holder-was-when-she-or-he-broke-the-WR https://www.quora.com/How-is-the-yellow-world-record-line-in...
- xeniak 10y agoSo the line is most accurate towards the end of a lap, and probably quite inaccurate at the start (given how much speed you gain during a coming out of a turn).
- sleepychu 10y agoThat probably works in the favour of the broadcaster if you don't understand how it's calculated. Exciting to see people on the line of the WR.
- Robelius 10y ago>No point being animated then, as it's unlikely to be accurate. The point isn't to show how the pacing would look if you lined up all the winners. It's to show the difference in finishing times throughout the century plus.
