Well this probably won’t help but here we go. There are medals available in 9 stand-alone events (100m Men and Women, 110 and 100 Men and Women, Long Jump Women, High Jump Men, Javelin Women, Mixed 4x400m Relay, and a Mixed Distance Relay) and 1 Team Event. Teams earn points based off their athletes positions in the individual events. Their will be 4 rounds of the team competition. @hckosice already wrote an explanation of the team event on the last page. I’m not sure how the individual medals will be awarded. That’s about it.

Well, I´ll try There will be 10 medal sets awarded throughout 9 competitions, 4 Track (100m M and W, 110m Hurdles M and 100m Hurdles W), 3 Field (Long Jump W, High Jump M and Javelin Throw W) and 2 Relay Events (Mixed 4x400m and a special event called "the hunt" which is a sort of pursuit race) and the 10th medals set is for the overall final standing (the Team Event) The 3 Field events will be contested in a unusual elimination format. The whole Team event will always culminate and finish (in every round from the heats to the final) by that special "the hunt" relay. The teams will start by "gundersen" or if you want pursuit method based by their points they collected during the team event previous disciplines. It´s a 2000m race, the 1st leg is 800m M, then a female leg for 600m, the 3rd leg is again for mens 400m and the final leg is 200 Women . The first team to cross the line is the overall winner. Now the medals. The medals for the individual and relay events will be awarded according to the individually calculated results of the athletes during their respective races in the 1st round (Heats) the 1st day of Athletics competition. For "the hunt" relay they will calculate only the "real time". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A) That was much better than mine so thanks and B) so the there are no individual finals per say? “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

No. from what I know. for example in 100m, the 3 fastest 100m times in the heat of the team event will win gold/silver/bronze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have been ok with having the 5 Preliminary matches then having the 8 best marks in each event, compete for this individual medals in a 6th session that day (or on the rest day) “Sport has the power to change the world.

Nothing. Edited June 7, 2019 by dcro #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
