What this article doesn't explain are the ambiguous ways of crossing the line - if a cyclist leans forward and their nose crosses before the front of their tire, from where is it measured? How about their hat? If a runner's belly is larger than their torso (OK, unlikely) does that count?

I have seen some articles discussing this during the last olympics, and remember thinking how much more impressive it made the job of measuring completion.

Well what stops others from leaning forward? Sense like not an advantage because if it helped everyone would opt to do it.
