It seems like it is self reported weight rather than their actual weight, that might explain the peaks on triathlon, athletes could be rounding their weight to a nicer number , e.g. reporting 80 instead of 81.5, or 75 instead of 73.9. Do those ‘peaks’ in triathlon actually correspond to round numbers?
