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! Full story and how to help can be found here!

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.

That wouldn't be half as interesting as if a heavyweight wrestler or weightlifter achieved that. :d

Stopped watching sports, there are better things in life.

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
