3rd base coach should be paying attention for any type of tomfoolery like the hidden ball trick.

But can 3rd base coach do anything in that circumstances? I'm pretty sure they can't alert to it?

Literally all the runner needs to do is keep his foot on the bag until the pitcher has his foot on the rubber.

[@cptobvius]

@@Reblwitoutacause I've never heard of that being not allowed? I thought the entire point of base coaches was to inform their players on what to do, seems like giving them a heads up about a hidden ball would be entirely in their purview. If for some reason it isn't allowed, they could at least hint at it by saying "don't lead off" right? But I just don't see how communication WOULDN'T be allowed.

Yeah race-walking in crazy. Everything's legal if the ump doesn't see it (there's no replay), and it's impossible (like actually impossible) to be competitive without cheating, so the sport has basically just become competitive cheating. Nobody who actually walks stands a chance, so the winners are those who are the best at running while looking like they're not running.

[@Samsunaattori]

From his Wikipedia article: "A study by the University of Cologne determined that the prosthetic was a disadvantage in the run-up portion of the long jump but advantageous during the jump, however there was no overall advantage.[11] However, the IAAF ruled that Germany failed to prove its case, and denied Rehm permission to participate at the Rio Olympics." He has competed apparently in a few non-disabled events in 2014-2016, but was disqualified before competition on one and was not ranked in another. Basically he needs to prove to the IAAF that his leg doesn't give him an advantage to get to compete in the larger able bodied competitions

[@davidwaldo3141]

⁠A human leg/ankle/foot has biological functions that allow it to produce force on its own, while an unpowered running blade can at most only return as much force as is applied to it from the residual limb and the track. So the blade is about reducing inefficiencies to return as much power as possible, and they have gotten very good at that, but it is not “better than” a real leg. Also, you never see any non-amputee athletes saying they wished they could have an artificial leg. Collectively this is a hyper-competitive, egotistical, superstitious cohort of people that seeks every possible advantage no matter how slight (e.g. doping for decades). I don’t think they really believe artificial legs are advantageous; I think they are worried about the shot to their ego if they actually lost to someone with fewer legs.

I feel like the long jumper’s last step should have to be with his natural leg, not the prosthetic

[@kindabluejazz]

What if he had two prosthetic legs? They're already in a very tough challenge, why make it even harder?

[@SeraphsWitness]

@@kindabluejazz There's a very good argument to be made that the spring legs offer an advantage. Oscar Pistorius was famously banned by the IAAF for having two prosthetic legs that offered an unfair advantage. It was overturned on appeal but he still failed to qualify for the 2008 Summer Olympics. He ran in 2012 though. Still, they did a whole scientific analysis of his running. He consumed less energy, required less mechanical work, and resulted in less vertical motion. All that to say, there's a fair argument to be made.

[@Liamtotherescue]

He also weighs one leg less than he otherwise would, so power to weight ratio must be excellent.

[@DruHarden]

Then he can compete against people with two prosthetic legs?

[@MakerInMotion]

​@@SeraphsWitnessYeah the argument was that he still has all the important sprinting muscles in the thighs but the blade legs weigh barely anything so he can move them faster.
