I remember reading somewhere that they had moved people to the 2nd lane to cut down on the "loud gun" syndrome in the Olympics
Normal track events there is a tone that is played in the runners starting shoe. This means everyone gets the tone at the same time. The starter gun is, in this case a prop to set of the tone.
In the Olympics they still use a "loud gun" which means it is a single point of noise that reaches the person in the first box 150ms before the person in the 8th box can hear it.
Moving a person to the 2nd box apparently cuts this "lead" down in half, and also cuts down on the "surprised shock" start. Basically the gun is LOUD. and someone close to it gets up to 20-30ms head start as well.
Yes in total we are not even talking 200ms head start, but in the games, every second... and millisecond counts. I remember reading somewhere that they had moved people to the 2nd lane to cut down on the "loud gun" syndrome in the Olympics
