    In 2009, swimming was in crisis. High-tech swimsuits made athletes faster and 130 world records tumbled. Now, running's had the same clash of innovation vs performance. Nike's Vaporfly have upended elite running. Here's my long read on the controversy

    Critics of Nike's Vaporfly shoe say they enhance human performance beyond iterative advancements and amount to “technological doping". But fans can’t get enough of them

  9. Now World Athletics has clarified previously loose shoe rules. The Vaporfly aren't banned but limits on future shoes are in place. Ahead of the 2020 Olympics, other running companies may have to speed up their production if they're going to give their athletes anything similar

  10. It's a case of pushing humans to new levels, but creating unfair advantage. “The danger with technology is that the moment it starts to influence performance more than the normal difference between two humans, then the human integrity of the result is gone,” says

  11. As a result, other running brands have been scrambling to keep up. We've seen a flurry of new shoes with carbon fiber plates, but none of them appear to really compete. The other brands are a long way behind and limited by patents that are in place

  13. It's created a situation where runners sponsored by Nike can be considered to have an advantage. 's said she may have missed out on a place at the Olympics because of the shoes. We've also seen non-Nike athletes disguising Vaporflys to look like their own (see pics)

  14. Runners in the shoes have had huge success – Men & women's marathon world records have been obliterated – In 2019, 2x as many men and women ran faster than 2:10 and 2:27 for a marathon than before – Almost all major marathons have been won by runners in them

  15. The Vaporfly debuted in 2016. They include a soft, springy foam and a carbon fibre plate. The combination of the two means runners save energy. Studies have proven the shoes make runners at least 4% more efficient. For elite runners this can be 1-2 mins in a marathon
