When will you be wearing the pink gloves for the next round of the Women’s Marathon?
- September 3, 2021
When you are running for the women’s marathon, wear pink gloves.
The US women’s team wore pink gloves to compete in the Women, 2000 Olympics, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 2018.
In 2016, the Boston Marathon wore pink shorts and pink socks.
“If you look at the history of women’s sports, pink gloves are the most iconic.
Pink gloves have been used for centuries, and there are plenty of instances where they have been worn,” said US women coach Laura Flanders.
There are a few reasons why you would want to use pink gloves: to prevent cuts and to protect the runner’s feet from bruising, according to the CDC.
If you are a runner who has suffered a major injury, the US Olympic Committee has guidelines that call for the use of a pink glove for all races.
“If the injury is significant, or if the runner has suffered an injury requiring a surgical repair, then the gloves must be worn,” the USOC wrote.
In 2017, the American women’s Marathon Trials was in Seattle, Washington, where the pink glove was used for the first time.
“We’re very pleased with the decision, and we look forward to running in the pink this year,” US Olympic Trials coach Jodi Smith said.
Pink gloves can also be used in the event of a punctured lung, an infection that can be caused by a virus.
Flanders said wearing pink gloves during an event such as the Boston or London Marathon will allow the athletes to be “ready and able to go in the race and to make a race-day decision.”
Pink glove regulations in the US are a lot different from those in Europe.
When it comes to the Olympics, the pink jersey is not mandatory.
At the same time, it can be a bit difficult to understand what is going on in the Olympics.
For example, if you are not wearing the gloves for a race, you will probably be surprised by how much you miss it.
