Ironman has released the updated 2024 Competition Rules and has banned the practice of placing a water bottle down the front of an athlete’s race suit for an aerodynamic advantage.
Here’s the wording Ironman has presented around the “water bottle/ hydration system down the front of the suit” trick: additional equipment that has the effect of reducing wind resistance is prohibited during the bike segment of the Race (whether such equipment is worn under the athlete’s clothing, over the athlete’s clothing, or is otherwise attached to the athlete’s body or the athlete’s bike). This includes, but is not limited to, (i) any bottles/hydration or any other insert located in the front of an athlete’s race suit and (ii) any insert in an athlete’s calf sleeves; (DSQ)
骑车aero姿势的时候，肚子那里大出来有显而易见的aero效果，所以ironman提出了禁止选手们在衣服里塞水瓶子的行为，认为这个是作弊。
所以环法的自行车手们仍然可以在肚子里塞东西，ironman就不行，晕。。。
pro们都在操心怎么把肚子搞大，我那天却被羽绒服mm说裙子大了，我这个人粗枝大叶也不是很注意这些，今天仔细看看确实噢。
体重还是差不多，肉肉去了哪里呢？？？要问问我教练，哈哈
