Abstract
The aerobic work capacity is markedly reduced at an altitude of 2300 m. The adaption to that altitude is slow and even after a 3 weeks stay in Mexico City the best man in a group of 13 international top-athletes from Scandinavia still was 6% under his sea level value for aerobic work capacity. The only possibility to avoid the unfairness of Olympic Games at the altitude of Mexico City must be to arrange all endurance events at a lower altitude, which could still be in Mexico.
