It could. It’d be the like the ultra marathon of race walking. It still think I’d be cool to have a shorter distance event (importantly while keeping the traditional distances), maybe a 5km

 

5km walk? Bad idea. You couldn't enforce the rules at all and cheating would be common. Plus you throw the stamina factor out of the way completely.

Bassant Hemeida is the 1st Egyptian woman to pass 1st Rd ever in a major Athletics event really great job by her

Heats system. Either QF -> SF -> F, or 3 SF -> F. Maybe better over 2.5km

I think a 100m race walk would be awesome. I predict a lot of faults, however.

Also, I am very keen on a 100m sprint in cross country skiing. What do people think of this?

Looking at the countries of origin of most of the canadian athletes here i wouldn't be surprised if Canada tried to bought Chepkoech. Luckily she has enough pride to not switch nationalities for money.

Canada does not buy athletes.... there is no money for that.

Who’d we buy? I’m not being confrontational. I’m genuinely curious

Iaaf should introduce a race walk from siberia to moscow next time, it will be the mother of all race walk events.
