Likewise, Nottingham Forest, having easily beaten the Arsenal, today annihilated Leicester City. That’s the wonderful thing about the FA Cup. To be fair, Forest has some rather fantastic players this year, and will likely get promoted (as will Middlesborough, who beat Man United this weekend).

Eric Dickerson’s ailments are grim reminder of NFL glory’s heavy bodily toll
USA Today
No paywall:
“Man, my sleep is messed up,” Dickerson, 61, told USA TODAY Sports from his home in Calabasas, California, during a wide-ranging phone interview. “The best sleep I’ve had in the last three years was when we went to London in 2019. I slept on the plane. I went, ‘Damn! Why can’t I sleep like that at home?’"
The lack of sleep and assorted issues provide Dickerson with constant reminders of the toll he paid with his body to produce his remarkable, Hall of Fame career. It’s striking to assess the personal costs against the backdrop of football’s biggest annual celebration, set to be staged for the first time in 29 years in the Los Angeles area with Super Bowl 56 LVI.Beyond the glitz, hype and glory that surrounds the NFL’s product, there’s this contrasting snapshot: so many retired men like Dickerson, dealing with scars and long-term effects from playing the sport in which, yes, they willingly chose to participate.

I think the reasoning was that a loose outfit could be designed to act like a wingsuit and give an unfair advantage to a jumper. Why only women were disqualified needs investigation, though.

And the fact that one of the disqualified people wore the same outfit on a previous day and was fine.
I think the IOCs corruption is well known, they’re just not trying to hide it any more.

Apparently, and I am by no means expert, the weight of the competitor changing (lowering) made the difference.
