Robot2600 08/01/21 10:40:05 PM #1:	Even though the distances might be the same, aren't the runners on the inside of the track subject to more angular momentum (from having to turn faster) than the other runners? It would mean running on the inside curve is a disadvantage.

Zanzenburger 08/02/21 1:08:45 PM #4:	I've always been curious how the distances are the same on the inside of the track compared to the outside. Wouldn't the inner track undoubtedly be shorter length-wise than the outer track due to less surface space running overall? Kinda like the rings on the inner circle of a target are shorter in distance than the rings on the outer circle of that target? --- Congratulations!

Were_Wyrm 08/02/21 1:10:32 PM #7:	For me it was only really a problem in indoor track, where the track is 200m instead of 400m, that and being 6'5" didn't help much. It's more of a disadvantage for taller runners, and depending on the race the shorter distance makes up for the tighter turn. --- I was a God, Valeria.

SiO4 08/02/21 1:17:46 PM #11:	In horse racing, it can get you boxed in. Also, I watched a horse lose a race by one miss-step coming around the far turn.
