Track Cycling at the Cycling UCI World Championships 2023

Is this integrated schedule with para cycling a good idea? I feel like it's a mistake. 7 days are too many for only 22 elite events, the schedule is stretched too thin for viewers who only care about the elite athletes, and they are probably the majority who tune in for this.

Para-athletes are elite athletes.

The regular events are called "elite" events on the schedule / live scoring, that's why I called them "elite".

Fans in the stadium seem keen to watch, though, although  has a history of building integrated events in the CWG.  Won’t work in every country.  Plus there is the usual problem with para events - 25% are competitive, 75% are walkovers.

Poland, Canada, New Zealand  and France fighting for 3 quotas in women's  team. No place for host in this event?

The paralympics events just kill me any enthusiasm. It's a long "watch and wait", all the day...
