"We have re-measured the track and we realized that the track which will be played on the women's sprint was shorter than 40 meters. Then We have made the necessary changes to the circuit, so as to equalize the length of that regulation. The track instead of the men's sprint will not be changed. "
In other words, if Norway had not done this as detected by GPS'' s Ibu, the women's sprint Olympic Games would be held over a distance of 7,380 feet instead of 7,500.
According to the Norwegian Men's Track also would be shorter than it should, but obviously the'' Ibu did not find discrepancies and considered in accordance with current paths.
Actually it is not the first time that a major event occurring problems of this kind. Legend has it that the measurements made by athletes at the 2008 World Championships in Östersund had revealed himself as the'' ring of 4 km was actually 3.6 kilometers long. Everything, however, was settled without much fanfare.
