In which year was diving forbidden?

As of June 65438+February 1 in 2023, this technology has not been banned.

As long as the diving line does not hinder other athletes, it is not a foul. As a unique track and field technique, diving over the line has long caused numerous hot discussions and concerns on the field. On the broad stage of track and field in the world, this technical action has not been explicitly prohibited, and athletes can still sprint across the line by diving and abdomen contraction within the scope permitted by the rules.

This technical action mainly appears at the critical moment of sprinting the finish line. When athletes try their best to rush to the finish line, they will try their best to lean forward and cross the finish line almost parallel to the ground. At this moment, either the chest or the shoulder touches the line first to win the precious millisecond advantage.
