This was 1000m of huge tension, why have only half of that? Which logical reason could possibly be behind it? If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

Which is bullshit, this sport should be about endurance, 1000m should be the standard distance like 2000m in rowing. Actually I do like that there are sprints here, I find the 200m awesome to watch as well as an explosion of power. But 1000m, come on, it's not even four minutes Maybe World Athletics can remove the 1500m and replace it with a 1000m.

Monzanator 3,600 Posted August 3, 2021 #86 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Look, IOC doesn't care about Olympic die-hards anymore. We're old school outdated dinosaurs who are wrong. TikTok generation is more important Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, is this event not exciting enough? One of the best finals of the entire Olympics.. ICF is doing what they need to in the eyes of the IOC in order to keep their sport in the Olympics. There’s always been a debate about wether or not they’ve fought hard enough for athletes/fans wishes. IOC didn’t like that the men and women race separate distances. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.
