The difference between the rowers and the shorter distance runners is interesting. The rowing guys even time their meals and rehydration to make sure they're not carrying a gram of weight they don't have to.

The runners have... a lot of extra weight. Hair actually has weight, particularly if it's got stuff woven in and it could be laden with hair care products. Seems like it would also add air drag. Jewelry never added a single hundredth of a second to anybody's time.
