This is ridiculous, from https://worldathletics.org/download/download?filename=a7c00486-9dc2-4ba4-a118-00789494cbfb.pdf&urlslug=C2.1%20-%20Technical%20Rules%20(amendment%20to%20Rule%205)

Amendments to Rule 5 of the Technical Rules (formerly Competition Rule 143)

5.1 The clothing must be made of a material which is nontransparent even if wet.

Rule 5.1 of the Technical Rules should be interpreted widely in terms of what
“could impede the view of the judges”, including athletes wearing their hair in a
particular way.

Athletes may compete barefoot or with footwear on one or both feet.

One-off shoes made to order to suit the characteristics of an athlete\'s foot or other requirements are not permitted.

5.2.2 Where World Athletics has reason to believe that a type of shoe or specific
technology may not comply with the letter or spirit of the Rules, it may refer the
shoe or technology for detailed examination and it may prohibit the use of such
shoes or technology in competition pending examination.
Note (i): At least four months prior to an International Competition at which an
athlete proposes to wear a shoe that has not previously been used in International
Competitions, the athlete (or their representative) must submit to World Athletics
the specification (i.e. size, dimensions, sole thickness, structure etc.) of that new
shoe; confirm if the new shoe is to be customised in any way; and provide
Amendments to Rule 5 of the Technical Rules (formerly Competition Rule 143)
Approved by Council on 15 July 2020, effective from 28 July 2020
Amendments to Rule 5, in force on 28 July 2020 2
information about the availability of the new shoe on the open retail market (i.e.
either in store or online). After reviewing this information World Athletics may
request that samples of the shoe be submitted by the manufacturer for further
examination. If the shoe is requested for further investigation, World Athletics will
use reasonable efforts to complete its examination as soon as practicable (if
possible, within 30 days of receipt of the shoe by World Athletics).
Note (ii): Transition Period 31 January 2020 to 8 August 2021. This note has
been inserted in recognition of the fact that on 15 July 2020 a Working Group
on Athletic Shoes has been established by Council which by the end of the
year 2020, in collaboration with manufacturers, will review the entirety of
this Rule 5 as it applies to shoes by the end of the year 2020. The following
notes (a) to (e) will assist in guiding all stakeholders with the practical
application of this Rule 5 as it applies to all shoes (road or spike shoe) until
and including, 8 August 2021.

afaik \"any technical device that incorporates springs, wheels, or any other element that provides a user with an advantage over another athlete not using such a device\" was already banned 15 years ago

there was quite the controversy when he wanted to compete in nondisabled events, don\'t want to end up in a situation where the chance of winning an Olympic medal requires you to have your legs amputated

Seems a lot of words to say, if you have developed a shoe that might give
you an advantage, we need to inspect it first. Is it OK to wear clothing
with electronic adverts on it rotating as you run. Apparently this is now
possible. I\'m assuming that hair worn a specific way due to the religion
would not be affected as this would breach the equality act.
Maybe a new streamlined Turban can be designed?
Next we will hear that all noises used to start races must be under a
certain decibel level to protect the hearing.

Not that it bothers me much, since I\'m not in any way going to be an
athlete.

This is to combat the spring shoes that were used last year, or the year
before. They had springs in the soles, this gave an advantage, as the
energy that was being lost through the feet was recycled slightly, to
give a \'spring in the step\' to the athlete wearing them.

If they can fit it inside the size of a normal shoe sole, what\'s wrong with it? Why is it any different than a better spongy sole material?

Of course the only real fair way is to either:

1) Make all athletes run barefoot (it\'s good for you).
2) Give the athletes shoes provided by the event.

Number 2 would be good. There are several automobile race car categories
similar to the Legends.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legends_car_racing

Tires: 205/60R13 Federal SS595 (pavement)
American Racer 13 inch (dirt)

The tires aren\'t provided but are mandated by the rule book. No super high
performance tires developed by people with deep pockets. This was a
response to NASCAR. The people wanted to see the driver\'s skill, not the
bank account of his supporters.

Formula One is down to Pirelli as the sole tire supplier but there are
eight compounds and an arcane set of rules.

The trouble is, when all cars are the same it gets boring. I like the anyone can enter races with all sorts of cars, some way faster on the straights, some way faster on the corners, some way better in a slightly bending the rules collision.

Yes they are boring. I gave up on NASCAR when they quit rubbing cars
that are sold at a dealer. In the late 1960\'s Cryslar made every dealer
take a few cars of a certain kind so they would be legal to race.

The fun days were when the cars were set up to \'cheat\' the rules. Like
the gas tank could only be so large, but one racer said the rules did
not say anything about the fuel line so the line was big in diameter and
long. One used his roll bar to hold extra fuel.

I used to go to SCCA (Sports Car Club of America) races at Limerock CT.
They would run the classes all at once. It was fun watching the Corvettes
run away on the straights, but in the curves and chicanes the Super 7s and
Minis would be nipping at their heels again.

I went to one Formula One race and was bored out of my mind. I grew up
with short (1/4 mile of less) outlaw dirt tracks. A large set of balls was
more important than a large engine. Like hurling the rules were
rudimentary.

There was no NASCAR in upstate New York but you could literally go to a
stock car race every day of the week and twice on Sunday. The nearest
NASCAR track was in Pennsylvania. NASCAR was always too fancy for me.

more interesting. Even now I prefer what William Least Heat-Moon called
the blue highways but it\'s difficult. Around here there are remnants of
the Mullan Road as frontage roads but I-90 was laid over most of it so
there is no continuous route. So far 93 hasn\'t been destroyed.\"
