Can professional race walkers wear headphones to listen to music during Olympic competitions?

After studying Western history, I discovered that race walking was actually invented by felons. A long time ago, many felons in Central Asia were imprisoned and had nothing to do all day long. They were either waiting to die or waiting for their sentences to expire. To pass the time, they gathered together to brag. Brag about what it would be like to run away, because felons generally wear shackles, and someone asks you how you can run far in shackles. At that time, there was a felon who refused to be taken in. He stood up and said that he could run far and fast with the shackles on. Then he stood up and demonstrated. Apparently he failed and everyone laughed.

Walking with shackles was inconvenient, but it also aroused his competitive spirit, so he insisted on walking briskly every day when there was no wind, constantly adjusting the angle and frequency of walking, and in the end it was better than normal with shackles. People walk very fast. After he succeeded, the felon couldn't wait to show it to his fellow inmates. After reading it, the inmates called him the most promising person to escape and awarded him the title of "Escape Star". Subsequently, the prison launched a campaign to win the title of escape star, and often held shackled walking competitions.

The prison guards also discovered this activity. Instead of stopping it, they found it very interesting. Often used as a joke outside of prison. Over time, everyone began to walk in a strange posture without running to see who could walk faster. This is the origin of race walking. Nowadays, race walking is becoming more and more popular and has entered the Olympic Games. In addition to the rapid development of the Internet, people's understanding of him has also accelerated, and the story I made above has played a role in promoting it.

Our school’s track and field teacher said that athletes are not allowed to wear headphones and other electronic devices into the competition venue. Walking speed depends on cadence and step length. The average person walks about 100 to 120 steps per minute, and the walking speed can reach 180 to 200 steps. Excellent walking athletes can exceed 200 steps per minute. The average walking stride length is generally 70-80 cm, and the racing walking stride length can reach 90-110 cm. , the stride length of tall athletes is about 120 cm. Compared with elite long-distance runners, who usually take 180 steps per minute, the 160-step frequency for beginners is already difficult.
