Monzanator 3,391 Posted January 10, 2019 #4 Share Posted January 10, 2019 These Swiss guards could become useful, maybe in shooting or some obscure sport nobody pays attention to outside of the Olympics? Athletics? Not so much. Maybe in Mediterranen Games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olympian1010 6,875 Posted January 10, 2019 #6 Share Posted January 10, 2019 So, does thier flagbearer (If they form an offical NOC) come out wearing a priest’s vestments? Black shirt/white collar? Or does the pope lead the team out? The Pope could try to make the boules team for 2024 mrv86 and phelps 2 “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

Wumo 2,696 Posted January 12, 2019 #8 Share Posted January 12, 2019 (edited) Two new events have been added to IAAF World Relay programme. A mixed 2x2x400m relay and mixed shuttle hurdles relay. The mixed 2x2x400m, a form of an endurance relay event, requires both members of the team to run two 400m legs of a relay. Each team can choose to start with a man or the woman. The athletes then take it in turns to run their two legs of the relay. Inspired by a mixed relay event introduced to biathlon in recent years, the 2x2x400m replaces the 4x800m relay, which proved to have limited appeal at previous editions of the World Relays. The men will run 110m hurdles in one direction and will then hand over to the first woman on the team, who will run back up the straight to hand over to the second man, and so on. To account for the extra distance, women will run out an extra 10 metres at the end of their leg. https://www.iaaf.org/news/press-release/world-relays-2019-shuttle-hurdles-2x2x400 Edited January 12, 2019 by wumo26 dcro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stopped watching sports, there are better things in life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
