Olympics Men’s Tracks events: does a beard enhance success?
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has said that preliminary investigations indicate that facial hair can enhance the chances of success for men in Olympic track events.
It has been a ‘common-sense’ view amongst some athletes that the fewer follicles on the head and the rest of the body the better. According to this theory, approved of by barbers, this allows the athlete to move more quickly through the air as well as on the track.
However the BLF says that in reality provided facial is focused- full scale hipster beards are unlikely to work-facial hair can harness air currents and use them to promote a successful performance.
BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, it’s the dialectics of hirsute athletics. Our thesis is that the beard enhances performance. The antithesis is that it might make it harder to run for example in windy conditions. The synthesis is that the beard, properly pruned and crafted, can in fact harness the air currents and lead to a faster run.
