phelps 6,535 Posted March 10, 2019 #81 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Just now, heywoodu said: If I'm gonna start with this I will have to give up sleeping and eating probably, I'm already 15 hours per day short as it is don't tell me... and what you see right now it's a good restyling and a significative price drop if compared just to last week (the yearly fee used to be 120 US $, the monthly fee used to be 22 US $/month)... basically they're trying to get me back with them at all costs...but they won't have me until the new college football season starts in September...

Monzanator 3,569 Posted March 11, 2019 #83 Share Posted March 11, 2019 I hope they pull this through and keep the 20/50 distances. Let's make no mistake, this is driven by the TV deals. They don't want to waste 4 hours of TV window for race walking. They kicked them out of the stadiums for the finish section not to interfere with some random morning heats sessions already and now they want to make the event even more obscure than it is already. heywoodu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshMartini007 2,130 Posted March 11, 2019 #84 Share Posted March 11, 2019 While true, I don't see how having a 10km race instead of 50km will get more people to watch it. Most nations don't show race walk unless they have an entrant that is expected to do well or they just want to eat up TV time while waiting for other events to begin. At this point they might as well revert to 3km and 5km races and keep them on the track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And so we need 30k instead of 50k! 30k will pull in massive numbers of new viewers and save race walking! /sarcasm IAAF 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!

Monzanator 3,569 Posted March 11, 2019 #87 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Excuse me but this is done to more sports than just race walking. False starts that extend the coverage - gone, reduced number of attempts in throwing events (got shot down, remember the move to have only 4 throws post-qualifying?).

heywoodu 13,499 Posted March 28, 2019 #90 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Quote The selection had been known since March 3rd but the visa application was only filed on March 19th What kind of amateurs are responsible for that?
