And what if the secret behind beating records was to use mathematics? Thanks to a mathematical model, Amandine Aftalion, CNRS researcher at the Centre d&#8217;analyse et de math\u00e9matique sociales (CNRS\/EHESS), and Emmanuel Tr\u00e9lat, a Sorbonne Universit\u00e9 researcher at the Laboratoire Jacques-Louis Lions (CNRS\/Sorbonne Universit\u00e9\/ Universit\u00e9 de Paris) have proved that the geometry of athletic tracks could be optimised to improve records. They recommend to build shorter straights and larger radii in the future. These findings are to be published in Royal Society Open Science on 25 March, 2020.&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n Click here for original story, <a href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/news\/2020-03-metres.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">How to break new records in the 200 metres?<\/a>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Phys.org&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Usain Bolt&#8217;s 200m record has not been beaten for ten years and Florence Griffith Joyner&#8217;s for more than thirty years.
