and the most idiotic thing in this new mixed relay is that the athlete who finish his leg will have to wait another cca 30 minutes to go another one... Not sure the genius who came up with this idea sometimes raced, because he would have known that the body of race walkers are not build for such extremes, racing 10 and half Km then sit and wait half hour to retake the baton and race another 10k 

 

Also a nice gesture to all race walkers who had to say farewell to their beloved 50km they trained and raced all carrer for, to suddenly must change literally everything to adapt to a shorter 35km to just later 1 year prior to the Olympics learns it was not necessary at all and have to became sprinters to readapt for a 10km race, and only if you are from one of the top 25 nations in the world (and still not sure if some NOC´s will be allowed to have 2 teams..so even less that from the top 25 nations)

 

You must love IOC and WA more and more. They just nailed the final one on the race walking coffin, will be really surprised if Race Walk will be in the LA28 program

 

 

 

Oh please,  will win the Olympic medal in the farce of the event and you'll start loving this immediately 

 

Jokes aside, I wonder which countries will be competitive in the new event?  fighting for the medals I suppose..

1) At this point I think we will have troubles to even qualify a team (Morway or Úradník + Czaková or Hačundová) should be now right somewhere on the edge if we take 25 countries (but if NOC´s will be allowed to have 2 teams then it is over)

 

2) I see having a shot too, but more like Gold and Silver for maybe bronze for

with fair judging, it's  safe Gold (Stano & Palmisano...only Antonella's injuries could beat them) and then  and  fighting for silver and bronze.

That's a very brave assumption
