Olympics entrance

[Newtonianmechanics]

Why do they all come out to start their events like its the Royal Rumble in WWE?

This is new isn't it? I am sure races just started previously and that was it?

Now it's a grand entrance.

I don't know if I prefer it or not?

I was wondering this. I remember it in swimming previously but not in athletics.

They have done it for probably about 8 ish years in athletics.

The swimming entrances are hilarious

Its been like this a few years for finals, the relays especially tend to be fairly theatrical. I like it.

I like it. They each deserve their moment!

They definitely deserve their moments.

Some are theatrical like WWE or gladiators others just walk out nonchalant in headphones all focused.

Find it fascinating.

I think it's fun. Some of the races are over in a few seconds so it just adds a bit more to each race.

It's been a thing for a few years.

I don't like it.
Some of them look embarrassed. Most, I'm sure would rather be able to focus on the race to come and their normal preparations.

The swimming is even done down to county champs finals level. It great for them to get some recognition of their achievements although the older they get, the more nonchalant they get!
