I first heard about this starting block at Timed Finals. Timed Finals gives a link to the source of the info as well; a Reuters story out of Australia: [Link]An individual commenting on the post links to photos of the new starting block at the Race Club website. Go there and look: [Link]

It seem perfectly logical to me. It puts the trailing foot more in line with the trajectory path. It makes the track start more like an actual track start since runners get to use nice angled starting blocks as well.
I agree with Merritt -- this is awesome! Much more like the starts that runners get now. The handles on the sides of the block are interesting...
