The Athletics format is so complicated, even I can’t understand it and I’ve competed in 3 different youth track organizations. So the medalists in the distance events will be decided by thier combined time in thier respective event and thier cross country time. The 4x800m (or 8X100m) Mixed Relay is open athletes from every sport. The throws and jumps will only take 4 attempts (This is the one rule similar to USATF’s youth program) and never change order based on position. The sprinters will use the combined time from 2 heats of thier event to determine a winner. Could they make athletics any harder or dumber?

Yes they can: See the 2019 European Games format

"The mixed relay, which was introduced in 2014, has been modified for this year's Games. Four years ago, the exhibition 8x100m event was staged just for track and field athletes. This year it has been opened up to all sports. For example, track and field athletes will feature on teams alongside participants from the 32 other sports taking place in Buenos Aires."

Can't wait for our Rhytmic Gimnast to get us all shock and bring home the gold in the last relay.

Gosh the "innovative" events are so horrible

 

Might as well include something like canoeing on roads and fencing with feet

You mean Mixed road canoeing and Mixed foot jousting

    • Linn Gestblom (previously Persson) Will miss all season. Not recovered after surgery.
    • Greece and Portugal also have winter sports centres - but of course these are not homologated routes for World Cup competitions I have never been to Albania personally, so I don't know the country at all. I have been in southern Croatia, though, and there are mountains there but you definitely can't ski there (I was there in the summer, but it's also impossible in the winter). World cup taking place there only in Zagreb.    In general the case of Colturi and Kostelic is completely different: Colturi has no ties to Albania and Janica Kostelic was Croatian and didn't left their country even though at the beginning of her carrier (and also her brother Ivica) her father had to pay for everything and the federation's support was zero. This only changed later. I imagine that the Kostelic family had offers from other countries (Austria, Switzerland, Italy?) to compete for them, which were much richer (at the beginning of the 21st century Croatia was a very poor country and devastated by war). All the more respect for them because they were true Croatian patriots until the end. I can imagine the Colturi family in a similar situation... Her mother would probably negotiate with half of Alpine Europe for Lara to compete for them Which of course doesn't change the fact that the Italian federation completely gave a shit in this situation. They let such talent go in a situation where they hasn`t a single female athlete on the podium of the World Cup in slalom for a dozen or so years. In the giant slalom it's not much better either, only there the older athletes cloud the picture: Brignone and Bassino. However, behind these two there is absolutely nothing...
    • Atalanta is probably playing the most beautiful football in Europe right now: spectacular and effective. It's nice to watch and they don't have to spend a lot of money for it.   Inter is playing very economically. It's not impressive but it's consistently collecting points. It's also the only team in the Champions League that hasn't conceded a goal this season.   Milan played very poorly yesterday but they won. They have 9 points and are close to qualifying for the play-offs.
