I watched the video on YT last night. I find it rather disgusting. If you ask me there should be weight classes in running, a lot of them. For a company like Nike, not having trained professionals on staff is simply absurd and is completely unacceptable. Obviously, they are wrong about the importance of weight in these competitions considering they killed this poor girls potential with all that nonsense. She was running very fast, then they started starving her and then she started running poorly. Personally, I would have fired the entire staff and started over from first principles after hearing her story.
- lumberingjack 7y agoI never considered weight classes for running but that would definitely make it more competitive I'm always on the lower end and I usually only really compete against about two or three other people.
- jmull 7y agoI think I understand what you're getting at, but I don't think weight classes will help. E.g., consider boxing and wrestling. The competitive pressures will still exist, and athletes will have to go to extremes to make the lowest weight class possible to maximize success.
