Micheal Johnson's ultimate schedule. 100m 120m 150m 200m 210m 220m 250m 300m 350m 400m And anything that doesn't have big Europeans or Kenyans winning more gold than Americans.... phelps and Biathlonfan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireRun 179 Posted April 11, 2023 #304 Share Posted April 11, 2023 At the end of the day Johnson isn't entirely wrong. Track events belong together as do field events. I think athletics should look towards the winter sports for inspiration, where you have say alpine skiing but you don't necessarily have all the events at one place. Like you have Schladming just for slalom, Kitz just for speed disciplines and so on. This way you could have a long jump competition with more than just 8 athletes take place in say Greece, while the next day you would have a track event (with all track disciplines) in Great Britain, the next day a hammer throw in Poland... Athletics and the diamond league could create a similar cup where athletes score points for a overall globe title. Have 10 different meets in the season each worth 100 points for the winner and a point for last placed. Events like 100m and so on would have qualifiers, semis and finals on the same day. Thus preventing athlets from competing in multiple events. I dunno, it's an idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno, it's an idea. tbh, I don't like it at all... it would make things extremely boring. the beauty of an athletics meet is the variety of events going on in those 2 hours. and track running, especially the middle and long distances, normally get too much coverage and attention than they deserve (get rid of pace makers and don't allow too many athletes from the same commercial club/manager in the same race to make it more interesting). meanwhile it's the exact opposite for the field events.
