3. Based on this excerpt, do you think the author is favoring Donald Thomas's approach to the high

jump over Stefan Holm's technique, or favoring

Holm over Thomas? Or is he not taking sides?

Support your response with details from the text.

The author did not take sides with either athlete, but showed the advantages and disadvantages that each one had.

Explanation:

This question is about the book "The Sports Gene" where the author shows how Donald Thomas won a world high jump championship against veteran Stefan Holm.

The author shows how the two athletes had advantages and disadvantages in relation to each other, without taking sides for either, on the contrary the author shows why both were able to win and how the sport is something dynamic and unexpected.

The author shows that Holm had a great experience in high jump, because he trained for this sport for years, in addition, he was smaller than Thomas and had more experience in details that make all the difference in this sport, however, he was more older than Thomas and that was a big disadvantage.

Thomas, on the other hand, had little experience in high jump, which was a disadvantage, but he was already a trained athlete. He played basketball and therefore he had been trained on how to jump, how to control his body in the air, among other things. In addition, Thomas was already training for this type of jump two years before the championship, which shows that he was an athlete capable of winning the championship like any other.
