Manorfire,
If memory serves, as it's been many many years since I read the book, the participants have no idea about the shootings before they enter the race.
That makes a big difference in people's preparations.
If these young men knew the outcome was, literally, victory or death, I'm sure they would have gone to the point of inventing new shoes & possibly weapons & strategies to get rid of other participants.
I would never embark on such a quest. I prefer life over riches.
