🏃‍♂️ The speed of sound is too slow for Olympic athletes!!

Sprinters in the position farthest from the pistols were getting slower start times, so organizers switched to an electronic tone. The speakers behind each athlete that will “play” the pistols starting tone (OMEGA). When the Olympic runners take to their positions on the track later this week, they’ll crouch on the ground, ears pricked, and wait for the starting beep. That’s right, a beep. Not the pow of a gun, but an electronic tone, pumped through speakers, played by a “pistol” that’s not a pistol at all, but something more akin to an electronic instrument with only one key. The pistol itself is silent.
