Q: Why is my guy slowing down halfway through the 100m? I get an amazing start and hit x,o alternating perfectly. at the 50-60m. mark he just slows down! Am I doing something wrong?

A1: You are probably pressin l1 or r1 by accident which activates slow motion

A2: Waggle r3 instead it is much faster I was getting 14 seconds with x,o but now I get 9.30 by waggling

A3: Cos you got no stamina...u need to work on your finger muscles

A4: Try moving your analogue sticks left to right or right to left doesnt matter I can get 9.80 with perfect start have fun :)

Q: How Do You Run Fast In The 100 Meters? I Can Only Do 10.65 Seconds!

A1: Tap quicker you remod and get a good start

A2: Here's what I do: get a lighter (nothing works better) and just shake it from X to O as fast as you possibly can sthg liek this: X----O --> Lighter--> X --> O

A3: Maybe try different techniques and see if that makes a difference. If you press X and O alternating maybe try other ways of pressing them, like putting a plastic bottle cap into a sock and rubbing it accross the buttons. If you "waggle" the L or R analog sticks then hold the controller like a gun and move your hand over both of the analog sticks using your palm and fingers. You can also find other techniques by searching on google. currently I run 9.88 sec and I'm hoping to improve.

A4: Best way is to press your 1st finger ad thumb together - place between te x and o buttons, then rapidlygo over the buttons, as though you're colouring something in - but be prepared for blisters though :-)

Q: I'm kinda slow in all the athletics & swimming events. Is it really all about the continous tapping of the x & o button?

A1: Yes nothing else works but a good way to tap easier is by putting your finger in your shirt and move it back and forth. It provides no-friction tapping

A2: No, in most athletic events you can waggle the L3 and R3 joysticks from left to right...and in swimming you rotate the joysticks around - much easier than x and o

A3: I have tried doing everyway I can think of to go faster but nothing seems to work should I give up or has any one got any other ideas?

A4: Put a sock on your hand and do it but make sure its clean :)
