Surprising Beauty Rules and Deductions That Could Cost Olympic Athletes the Gold

The beauty regulations for the track and field events are a bit more relaxed. According to the United States Track and Field Association (USATF) Rulebook, there are strict rules surrounding advertising with hair and body makeup. Athletes are not allowed to represent sponsors or advertisers through tattoos, body paint, jewelry, or hair dye.

They don't have to abide by the same rules as the gymnasts when it comes to their manicures, which is why many of them like to show off their Olympic-themed nail art on the track.
