Jinzha 529 Posted February 28 #231 Share Posted February 28 Ideas like these just devaluate the titles and competition in other events because of competition inflation. It's happening in all of the sports, but nowhere does more competition actually lead to happier athletes or happier spectators I feel... phelps and FireRun 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, I’ve read there won’t be a formal word championships in 2026. World Athletics wants to do some sort of top flight invitational though.

Monzanator 3,600 Posted February 29 #233 Share Posted February 29 There is no dead year for Europeans for instance since they hold European Championships alas many top athletes will probably skip a year during the cycle anyway. The Americans will always find a way to lose some of their best athletes in the dreaded trial system or NCAA eligibility rules. Commonwealth Games are on their last rites so that is no longer a viable competition for anyone and well, let's see what other crazy ideas WA comes up with. I bet they aren't done with devaluation of field events yet phelps 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireRun 179 Posted February 29 #234 Share Posted February 29 2-year cycle worked. There is no need to have worlds every year. As some said already it devalues the whole thing. What world athletics should have done is revamp the whole diamond, golden, silver, bronze league system. phelps and dullard 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what sports you want me to look at,since i don't exactly follow many. Anyway,the publics reaction so far seems to be that this is a rare world athletics win,so not that it always matters whatsoever,but you might be in the minority with this take. well, you might not give a crap to the TV networks, but they're those on the driving seat they basically have the last word on dates, daily scheduling and, above all, they're those that pay the money that keeps all the game in place without that, there's no way you can have a global and entertaining sport nowadays p.s. and you're right, I agree with you...there's no point in going beyond the world champs (or the Olympics) when they're held (look at all the Winter Sports, the final part of the season doesn't even get close to the rest of the schedule in terms of hype and tv ratings -once again, we can be die hard fans and not care about that, but the sport offcials have to, if they want, themselves more than the sport, to survive), but I was contesting the time where WA want the outdoor season to end...it's too late in the calendar and it's gonna face too much competition from the main sport attraction all over the world (except for the USA, where in any case they have the same problem with their kind of football) p.p.s. being among the minority, it's not a problem for me (I rarely am among the majority, always and forever) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orangehair43 177 Posted February 29 #236 Share Posted February 29 Taking a big risk giving it to China a by 2027 America will likely be in total boycott China mode (I fully expect China to be denied entry to LA 2028 with the IOC having to decide between allowing it or cancelling the games). dullard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
