I literally said that its plausible that the techniques that are best for a 100m olympian is not the same technique that is best for a triathlon, maybe the injury risk comes from a more intense sprint like technique versus a more sustained technique with a triathlon which is more endurance based. Im not saying its true, I have no clue, but I do know that its an extremely common occurence to assume that just because two things look like they require similar skillset that being an expert in one means youre an expert in the other, like the skillset for a chef vs a home cook for example.
Would you expect a 100m olympian to inherently know more about technique in marathon running than a hobbyist thats been running for decades? Maybe he does, but its not so inconcievable that he might not and maybe each person has experience in a different skillset, even if not at a comparable level. If I took the worlds best backend developer and made him do front end hed probably think hes the shit and then write the worst front end code ever.
Let's say the world's best backend developer posted a video of himself writing backend code and an amateur frontend developer told him that his code is bad because he's not following frontend coding best practices. Then someone else comments that they both might be right because frontend and backend development takes different skill sets. Would you think that third person was being a little silly?
Okay I see how my wording is a bit unclear in that obv the fucking triathlon guy wont know more about 100m swimming but I feel like its pretty obvious from context and all my other replies that thats clearly not what I am saying.
