I just read more about this Ultimate world championship that Will start next year - how can they call it an ultimate championship when they have handpicked the events. I know hammer is not in the Diamond league but here they have really been discriminating some events, especially throwing and some events are in for only one gender. Why? Shot put might not be the most popular event but tbh how interesting are the mixed relays?

It’s going to be a rapid start of the season in 2028 as presumably all the champs and trials will be done by Mid June at the latest.
