Aus einem fiktiven Zeitungsausschnitt, der in einem Computerspiel auftaucht:
He began by defending last year’s triumph in the traditional “Round Shmucktown” race, then triumphed in a **five-lap 80-yard race** in Chicago and finally outclassed his competition at the athletics meeting that took place alongside the nationwide convention for morbidly obese youth.
Vielen Dank für die Hilfe! :)

80-Yard-Rennen über 5 Runden
Ich würde es wie im Original mit Yard ausdrücken, da es einfach präziser ist und man meiner Meinung nach ruhig Yard benutzen kann, wenn sich die Handlung des Computerspiels im anglophonen Raum abspielt.

: Da es um einen fiktiven Zeitungsausschnitt in einem Computerspiel geht würde ich es einfach bei "80-Meter-Rennen" belassen, aber im Prinzip bin ich deiner Meinung: die meisten Deutschen wüssten m.E: mit "Yards" wenig anzufangen ...

80-Zard-Rennen über 5 Runden
Warum nicht Yard stehen lassen?
Distanzreiten (modernes Deutsch: Endurance) geht ja auch über Distanzen in Meilen (z. B. 100 Meilen).

5 Runden zu 80 Yards
Surely it CANNOT be realistic to have an 80 yard race over FIVE laps - each lap a mere 16 yards??????????????? For Goodness' sake, Birgit, you just HAVE to check this with your customer; I cannot imagine it is anything other than a sloppy way of saying a "400 yard race over five - 80 yard laps". Can you? Seriously??

| Hi David. Thanks for your reply. The short length of the race is actually meant as a joke, it seems. HAHA. Very funny indeed.;) |
Something went wrong...
