Altitude. The athletes (or anyone) have to adapt to a disproportion in air pressure. Mexico City is 7,400 feet on top of sea level. Similar to problems in personification sports in Denver (The Mile High City).

The rise is a categorical complaint in Mexico City or additionally an additional cities with tall rise such as La Paz, Bolivia.
The air has reduction oxygen than a usual, so it is harder to a athletes to acquire a same quantities of oxygen as usual. Body needs time to confirm as well as get used to this condition. Sometimes, a athletes sight in lands with this conditions for removing some-more status quo & insurgency as well as in a opposite, they sight in a beaches for removing some-more speed.
