'Laughter': Usain Bolt attacks Olympic 'unfair'
Usain Bolt has described the escalation of the controversy over spike technology that threatens his world records as "ridiculous".
The fastest man in the world is concerned The playground is designed for sprinters with new shoes over those who do not wear them.
"When I was told about this I couldn't believe it was what we were going through, you know what I mean, that we are adjusting the spikes to a point where it now gives athletes a chance to run faster," Bolt was told.
"It's amazing and it's not good for most players because I know that in the past (shoe companies) have tried and the governing body said 'No, you can't change spikes', so you know they are now making fun of it. ”
An eight-time Olympic champion competing with Puma spikes throughout his career but was a Nike competitor who connected with the latest technology.
It has reached a point where athletes who have contracts with rival shoe companies are allowed to wear Nike shoes because they are too high.
Remote records have been seized over the past 12 months with new carbon-encrusted shoes, thick shoes and now starting to translate to the sprint level that’s why Bolt is worried about his 100m and 200m world records.
American Trayvon Bromell, a favorite to take the Bolt 100m title in Tokyo, has reduced the impact of the shoes.
"I don't think there is a lot of data to show that they have a big improvement," said Bromell, who ran the fastest time of the year 9.77sec, he said.
Nike Air Zoom Maxfly Pixes were used by Jamaican Olympic gold medalist Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce as she looked at the fastest 100m hurdles in the 33rd year on June 5 in Kingston at an outstanding 10.63sec career.
Only American record holder Florence Griffith-Joyner has been quick, at 10.49sec in 1988.
"You can give the spikes to someone else and they won't do the same things I did, so I don't count them because of the hard work my coach and I do," Fraser-Pryce said.
“Maybe the combination of both - having good products and good athletes combined - makes a very good product. So for me, I can't point my finger at the specs. ”
Sha’Carri Richardson of the United States, who lost her place in the 100m in Tokyo after receiving a one-month suspension for using marijuana, rose to sixth place in the regular rankings by 10.72sec in April using a shoe.
.In less than a year, Nike's large spikes have been used to set world bests for 5,000 and 10,000 men and women.
In June Dutch athletes Sifan Hassan broke the women's 10,000m record in 10 seconds. The report lasted just two days before Ethiopian Letesenbet Gidey broke five seconds into Nike shoes.
Australia's Jeff Riseley, who will be competing in his fourth Tokyo Olympics in the 800m, said the new spikes were forgiving that not only helped during the race but also helped to revitalize the training.
"Old pixels were only carbon or plastic with a little rubber in it," he said. “They were as simple as possible now that they have a bubble in them and they respond.
"They're more comfortable, when you run away you don't just feel your calves and they won't lift your body again."
This year Linden Hall broke Australia's 1500m record wearing spikes, removing Jessica Hull who was wearing Nike shoes when she did it.
And in the 800m, Catriona Bissett dropped almost a second on her national record last month.
