Starter pistol? Fail. Below is a photo of the new Olympic standard in starter pistols developed by Omega. It was used this summer in London and will filter down to the lowest levels of track and field and swimming in the next few years.
After much research, it was determined that with a conventional starter's pistol there was a delay in the sound reaching the athletes furthest from the gun. This was especially a problem on track events with a staggered start.
This new starter pistol is electronic and there is a speaker mounted into each participant's starting blocks. This electronic starting system is designed so that the audible starting signal is projected from ALL of the speakers at precisely the same instant the trigger is pulled thus eliminating any competitive advantage gained under the old analog system.
It is important to note that despite the fact that this is an electronic starter gun, the Olympic committee could have directed Omega to design the gun in the shape of a traditional firearm...except they didn't. I wonder why?
