That’s why the judges, standing 15 feet to the side, are also decked out in protective gear.

The 1908 Summer Olympics (officially the Games of the IV Olympiad and also known as London 1908) were an international multi-sport event held in London, England, United Kingdom, from 27 April to 31 October 1908.[2] The 1908 Games were originally scheduled to be held in Rome, but were relocated on financial grounds following the violent eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 1906, which claimed over 100 lives; Rome eventually hosted the Games in 1960

They used real bullets in 1808. We’ve really pussed out as a society.
Oh how I long for the halcyon days of 1800-1810.
