Is the erection better for sprinting? Might be the secret to success.

More streamlined than a flopper I reckon. Someone’s gonna have to go do a wind tunnel test

That’s probably just an action pose with it flopping upwards like that alternating with each step of the sprint. The foreskin is stretched forward by the centripetal force of it slinging upwards, that’s why it sticks out
