Fare sempre riferimento all’originale se in inglese potabile … World Athletics has amended its rules governing competition shoes to provide greater clarity to athletes and shoe manufacturers around the world and to protect the integrity of the sport.
The rule amendments that the World Athletics Council has this week approved were recommended by its Assistance Review Group. From 30 April 2020, any shoe must have been available for purchase by any athlete on the open retail market (online or in store) for a period of four months before it can be used in competition.
With immediate effect there will be an indefinite moratorium on any shoe (whether with or without spikes) that does not meet the following requirements
- the sole must be no thicker than 40mm
- the shoe must not contain more than one rigid embedded plate or blade (of any material) that runs either the full length or only part of the length of the shoe. The plate may be in more than one part but those parts must be located sequentially in one plane (not stacked or in parallel) and must not overlap
- for a shoe with spikes, an additional plate (to the plate mentioned above) or other mechanism is permitted, but only for the purpose of attaching the spikes to the sole, and the sole must be no thicker than 30mm
