That rolling shutter
- I was just thinking, do they not have high speed global shutter cameras for this purpose?
  
  Seems like the Olympic athletics would be one of the obvious applications of that kind of camera
  
  It’s by design. They photograph only one slice repeatedly at the finish and then paste them all together. That means that everything you see here was at the same location, not at the same moment in time.
So the Naruto run does have an advantage in real life!
Why is there no line on the ground that is the finish line?
- Look at the Wikipedia page in the post body.
  
  That’s really cool. Thanks!
