Yeah, but even with chip timing, isn't the "winner" determined by the time from the starting gun, not the time that the runner crossed the sensor at the starting line?
*Hank caveat: I've run a grand total of one (1)** half marathon in my life. I believe my chip crossed the starting line 4:45.7 after the starting gun went off. In order to "win" I would have had to shave off 4:45.8 from the time of whoever came across the finish line first. Since none of this is ever, ever going to happen, I've never really thought about it much.
**I just started training for my second, which is in about three months.
