...three-hour marathons, for example, you generally find that the man is about 10 kg (22 lbs) heavier, or maybe even more. But when we measured the world's best athletes, we found that the men and the women were roughly the same weight. So, the female world-record holder in the marathon is about 54 kg (119 lbs) and the male world-record holder is about 56 kg (124 lbs). If you don't match for weight, then women get a huge advantage over longer distances, simply because they have less mass to move around. But once you match...
That's probably a testosterone-dependent effect. Running is all about getting your foot off the ground. You've just got 200 milliseconds or 300 milliseconds to apply the force to push you through the air, so you need an enormously strong leg. Now Paula Radcliffe, [the world-record holder in the women's marathon], is 54 kg. At her 54 kg, she just doesn't have the muscle power that the men have. I think that's the differentiating factor. You have to have testosterone in your body for 20 years to develop the strength that the Kenyan male...
...your 100 "Athletes To Watch," a mere two are Australian. No mention of Eamonn Sullivan, whose world record in the 50-m freestyle makes him the fastest man in the water in history. No mention of breaststroke world-record holder Liesel Jones or at least 20 other potential gold medalists from Australia. Considering Australia's small population, the disproportionate success of Australians at past Olympics, and the fact that Australia is expected to be fourth in the medal tally behind China, Russia and the U.S., you would have been justified in including the entire national Olympic team on your list...
...calls the postings of "third-party merchants" on its site, and the federal court's eBay ruling would seem to back up that argument. But even if the ruling says commercial sites like Amazon.com aren't required to police themselves, it does make it clear that if a trademark holder like Fobis discovers an infringement on one of those sites, it can play cybercop itself and demand that the site remove it. Still, companies like Fobis and Tiffany complain that merely having to pluck out the offending material is hardly the same as having to face punitive consequences that might...
