60 h. ago World Athletics scraps takeoff zone idea to avoid ‘war’ with long jumpers

Plan was introduced to reduce number of foul jumps‘Athletes do not want to embrace it,’ says Jon RidgeonWorld Athletics has scrapped plans to introduce a takeoff zone for the long jump rather than the traditional board because of widespread hostility from athletes. Jon Ridgeon, the World Athletics’ chief executive, said that while the proposals had gone well in trials, “you ultimately do not want to go to war with your most important group of people”.The idea of introducing a wide takeoff zone was to reduce the number of foul jumps with athletes no longer required to try to hit a narrow board before jumping into the sand pit. However, the Olympic long jump champion, Miltiadis Tentoglou, described the proposal as “dog shit” because it took much of the skill out of the event, while the former track and field athlete Carl Lewis, who won four long jump medals at the Olympics, called it an “April fool’s joke”.

1 week ago Maga is in meltdown over a preppy pink sweater for men. So, what exactly is the problem? | Ellie Violet Bramley

The outrage a J Crew jumper has provoked shows that the US right’s sense of masculinity is far more fragile than it would care to admitA men’s jumper by the all-American preppy label J Crew has sent thousands of Maga Americans into meltdown. From a fashion point of view, it couldn’t be more innocuous. It’s got a crew neck. It’s made from wool. It has a Fair Isle pattern at the upper yoke. There’s nothing asymmetric about it, no fringing or tassels, no slogan blasted across the front; no “Make America Kind Again”. So what’s the big deal? Reader, the jumper is pink.The main storm broke underneath a tweet by conservative social media commentator Juanita Broaddrick, in which she asked: “Are you kidding me?? Men, would you wear this $168 sweater?” The consensus among her followers was a resounding no, and not because of its price. “No man in my family would wear it!” wrote “MOMof DataRepublican”. “My husband wouldn’t use a pink bathroom towel,” assured another. Another X user was even mo...
