Just watching the Pan Am games 4 X 100.
Every guy is wearing a space age suit, designed to reduce drag and maybe steal a few hundreds of a second.
But every guy has a stupid paper bibbed pinned to the front and back.
Is there really no better way? Why not assign them a number a month before, and have it made as part of the uniform?
Just wondering.
Uh, probably because it's the easiest, cheapest and most effective way to do it.
Keep thinking Bro, you've got quite a mind.
Indeed your snark belies your simple mind.
Where high level racing is involved, I agree that there should be a streamlined integration on singlets. Something simple where the singlet has snaps in place that will hold the bibs snug.
It's not hard to think about better solutions without bring a jackass.
To think nobody else has thought of this and all the track world has to do is ask you for a solution to this (in your mind) vexing issue.
They should just put adhesive on the bibs. Stick them on like hip numbers.
Ill still never understand why invited athletes have to have bibs.
You literally asked this guy to come race for you and you can't identify him in a race you scheduled for him?

Yeah I thought this too, but with 20 Kenyans running 13mph it might be even harder for horrible race commenter.
I also thought about using the black marker or the water mark tattoos on arms and legs like in ironman, but we'd need to make them white in the front pack for obvious reasons.
