I hope this is not an out-of-bounds topic to discuss or I don’t know why it should be. Wouldn’t silicon add drag weight costing centiseconds for a sprinter? Or do we know that it’s negligible? Do we even think she enhanced her appearance? It sure looks probable and goes with her flashy personality.
The extra weight is offset by reduced distance to the finish line. I'm unsure if there is a net detriment or a net benefit.
Interesting argument for analysis: 100m in roughly 10s is 10000cm, so 3 inches or ~7.5cm would save 0.75 centiseconds or less than a hundredth of a second; a typical breast implant is 1.4 lbs total weight for a pair [1], which I’d imagine adds more than 1% to her body weight and likely slows her down by more than they saved.
While the question of how much breast enhancements weigh is sure to be one you’d like to discuss during your consultation, the question should only form part of your decision as to which implants to choose for a breast augmen...

if you look at the photo finish she did literally win by her breast poking out. if whoever came second had also had breast implants, she probably would have won instead.

What if she froze them? Any perpetual effect? I wouldnt put it past her if it meant she could beat a Jamaican by .01
Not sure how freezing would help but if there was a hollow implant technology that provided a 3” additional horizontal mammary projection (that’s a lot!) with negligible weight, the most benefit she could get is rounding down to one lower centisecond, eg instead of 10.8710 getting rounded to 10.87, a 0.75/100 s advantage would round it down to 10.86.
So not nothing, but much ado for nothing performance-wise.
My very loving boyfriend once told me that if I had larger breasts I would probably be out of his league. Before you crucify him, trust me when I say that he wasn't trying to be mean (bless his heart). He was simply pointing...
