人们恐怕还清楚记得,1992年曾盛传一种说法:现代体坛女子径赛的世界纪录比男子提升得快。终有一天女子径赛的成绩将超过男子。并且有一种预言:1998年女子马拉松赛跑的世界纪录将赶上甚至超过男子世界纪录!当然我们已经知道,1998年并没有让这种预言灵验。最近,美国田径界人士发表了一项新的研究,该研究认定,无论何时何地,女子跑得再快,也不可能赶超男子。主持这项新研究的是美国佐治亚州田径技术研究所的教授飞利浦·史帕林。研究专家们从1980年至1996年分别对从事男女1500米和42公里马拉松赛跑的排名世界前100位运动员进行了跟踪研究,结果发现,上述两个径赛项目的成绩,男子比女子快11%,而且这一差距17年里 I am afraid people still clearly remember that in 1992 rumors of a saying: the modern world women’s track record in the world faster than men’s ascension. One day the women’s track record will outperform men’s. And there is a prediction that the world record for the 1998 women’s marathon race will catch up to or even exceed the men’s world record! Of course we already know that 1998 did not make such a prediction trivial. Recently, a new study was published by field athletes in the United States that found it impossible for women to overtake men whenever and wherever they were. The new study is led by Philips Spartarin, a professor at the Georgia Institute of Athletic Technology. Research experts tracked the world’s top 100 athletes engaged in marathon races of 1,500 meters and 42 kilometers for men and women from 1980 to 1996. They found that the results of the two track events were 11% faster for men than for women, And this gap is 17 years
