Drafting equivalents in other sports
August 18th, 2009 by Nikola
It is amazing how many triathletes break the rules like drafting… but still a lot of people do not really see this as a problem. Here are some examples how other sports would look like if same disrespect for basic rules would happen.
Marathon running
Imagine how during Berlin Marathon about 3000 runners suddenly get off the course and cut the race course by few kms through side streets.
Cycling
Imagine how during Tour de France Lance Armstrong and his team all hold hands and are pulled by their team car up Mount Ventoux.
Swimming
Imagine how in 100m freestyle one swimmer gets to start 3 seconds before everybody else and no one does nothing about it.
Football
Imagine how one team has 15 players.
Fencing
Imagine how one guys electronic vest is turned off for half of the combat.
Boxing
Imagine how a 100kg boxer would fight a 50kg boxer.
Any more examples? Please post them in the comments or on Say NO To Drafing facebook page.
