Spain · 2016 season

Gold at Thirty-Seven

Spain won two athletics medals in Rio, and the gold belonged to the oldest jumper ever to win one. On 20 August 2016 Ruth Beitia, 37 years and four months old, cleared 1.97 m in the high jump final — the lowest winning height at an Olympics since Sara Simeoni's 1.97 in 1980 — and became, in World Athletics' own words, the oldest jumps champion in Olympic history and the first Spanish woman to win Olympic athletics gold. It was Spain's first Olympic athletics title since Barcelona 1992, twenty-four years earlier.

Four days before her, Orlando Ortega had run 13.17 for silver in the 110 m hurdles behind Omar McLeod: the first Olympic sprint or hurdles medal in Spanish history.

Short in the inseam, close on the leg

Racing shorts are lightweight split-seam shorts built for track and road racing: a woven shell of roughly 64–92 grams, a built-in brief liner instead of underwear, and an open outer seam that frees the leg at full stride.

The split itself has a birthday. British marathoner Ron Hill tore his side seams open in frustration, won the 1970 Boston Marathon, and founded Ronhill that September to sell the fix. Every race-issued pair in this archive descends from that pair of scissors.

Typical mass
64–92 g size M (SOAR manufacturer figures)
Race inseam
1–3″ with full side splits; trainers run 5–7″
The split
Open outer seam, front over back — invented by Ron Hill, 1970
