A couple of weeks ago, I had a dream FINA changed the programme to mostly obscure events and it featured a 6x12m Butterfly Relay. :lol:

:roflmao:

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!

Yep..nothing against GB specifically, but I'm very disappointed with this. It'd be different if he was Jamaican or something, but now a tiny nation with outsider medal chances basically has no chances anymore.

If we're going to change the 20k to 21k and a bit, I've got another idea: why not scrap the 1500 meters and add the 1520 meters? Might as well take the 3000m steeplechase out and add the much more interesting 3043,5m steeplechase :)

 

Marathon is 42,195 km (5,4875% more than 40km), so I suppose these should be the correct distances  :lol:

105,4875 m

116,03625 m hurdles

210,975 m

421,95 m

843,9 m

1582,3125 m

3164,625 m steeplechase

5274,375 m

10548,75 m

Let's send this to IAAF, sounds like a great idea :d

As for 50km, I'm not surprised that such decision was made completely out of public.

 

That seems to be quite a thing for any sport federation, putting forward major changes out of nowhere.

 

I'm curious to know what they're going to do with Track Cycling.

Maybe they will axe another endurance event and replace it with Flying Lap. :d 

Stopped watching sports, there are better things in life.
