Looks like 2km laps for 20km and 4km laps for 50km. wow! that's something new... IAAF should have changed some rules (since until last year the 2-km circuit also for the 50km race was mandatory)... however, I think this new format is way, way better...the 2km circuit is too short for a race that long...there's always too much confusion with all those lappings..if they can cut them down , it's only a good thing... p.s. always thinking that Race Walking should be cancelled from any sport program...since it's a total farce ran by a couple of cheaters making only their personal interests... any reference to the Damilano family and China + Japan is not unintentional...

It's rather interesting. Other sports really try getting simpler but this is really set up for a race that's tough to follow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also dislike race walking, but because they walk awkardly. I don't find it interesting at all. Instead, the Olympics and other games should have half-marathons and 4 x 5km mixed relays.

Yay, another event where you don't see the best performances (like in the marathon) and a completely random relay. How about shot put hurdling while we're at it?

I hate all the mixed events...men and women are NOT made to compete together in sport...they complete themselves in a family, but they must not be put in the same sport competition (I mean, racing against each other...they can easily take part in the same event...but with different rankings)...
