come on this is the olympics not fucking football

Sadly so many sports are turning into football in this regard. Olympics make it even worse, because lots of people watching don't really have any interest in the specific sports, they just want to yell for a flag, no matter who it is...

Without the nonsense mixed 4x400 this problem might have been smaller. Although in this case it was just Sacoor who did that.

Can't help but think this isn't what world athletics wanted, why are we even testing this at the olympics, could have done this at the worlds or even the continental championships
