Prior to that date men threw the 35# weight until they were 70 and then switched to the 20# weight in USATF competitions. The standards are based on that assumption. The same is true of the M60-69 superweight, which was changed from the 56# weight to the 44# weight three or four years ago. The AA standards need to catch up. Shall I just do the statistical analysis and write a proposal? The proposal would be an argument for a methodology, parameter estimates, and AA standards. You can then critique the numbers below the surface instead of quibbling over opinions. Of course, the simplest stopgap approach is just to pro-rate the changed weights of the implements! |
