Sports press is a joke. Didn't they talk a single time to a runner yet? They didn't find find out about the carbon shoe revolution yet, but triathlon had already banned them!
- k1kingy 2y agoTriathlon hasn't banned carbon shoes. They follow the same rules that World Athletics follows.
- rurban 2y agoThey banned it 4 days ago https://tri-today.com/2025/02/these-running-shoes-have-been-banned-by-ironman-as-of-this-season/ https://tri-today.com/2025/02/these-running-shoes-have-been-...
- ATMLOTTOBEER 2y agoThese are banned for the stack height not the plate.
- 90ne1 2y agoTo your point, none of the ASICS shoes listed even have a plate. Two of them are basic daily trainers, so it's more to do with the letter of the law, re: stack height, than specific performance benefits.
- k1kingy 2y agoWhich also means they're banned in every running event sanctioned by world athletics. It also has nothing to do with carbon but rather the stack height (>40mm is illegal).
