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.

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 :mumble:

      Interesting, for only 2 months i think i have seen some kind of coin from all of the big countries - Germany, Italy, Spain, Holland, France, Portugal, Belgium, Finland, Ireland and yes the 2 euro from Croatia. But some of them were the smaller ones, 10, 5, 2 cents.    Expectedly there aren't any from the smaller countries so far. Nothing from the Baltics, Cyprus, Slovenia, Malta, Andorra etc. But also a bit surprising i haven't seen any from Greece yet.    Don't know from what part of Italy are you, but it's safe to say that when summer hits there will be a lot of Bulgarians visiting Rome, so i'm sure they'll bring some of our coins to spread around.

      I choose to collect only coins in circulation (and I have also found coins in circulation that should not be on the market; you can find a bit of everything). From my experience, it takes 4-5 years for coins to reach southern Italy, so I have no idea how it will work in Bulgaria. Incidentally, I am curious to see when I will see my first Bulgarian coin. I have not yet seen a Croatian coin (introduced in 2023!).

      Yes, i saw that there are a lot of commemorative coins. But to get some of those, i would need to buy them, as i don't know how much of them are in circulation. And the chances of such making it to Bulgaria are rather slim.    Still, if i find some sports ones on a good price, maybe i will order a few.

      Have you already started looking for the hundreds of commemorative 2 euro coins? There are loads of them, including sports-themed ones.

      Don't know if someone else is collecting Euro coins, but since we joined the zone it's been fun looking at what you can get.    It took only 2 months, but today i finally got my first Slovakian coin.  @hckošice
