I hate to break out of the silly atmosphere but I have a friend thats a foot and a half shorter than me. One day we raced and,She beat me. This has happened again and again not only with her butalso with several other friends shorter than me. Its like this if you match a tall person with one slightly shorter bet on the tall. But if one person is considerably shorter than the other,the shorter will usualy win.
This seems really bizarre to me I mean taller=longer legs=faster right? but once you get to a certain shortness such rules seem to become obsolete Maybe gravity and drag dont effect you as much if your shorter.
