They need to have has much meets has possible just got to follow protocol to ensure safty
I would really like it to happen..The meets sound exciting,we missed Track and Field.
Time to restart track and field in a safe manner.
This is going to be a time trial for top 24 for each event to champs. There will be a disadvantage for the athletes running on grass tracks. Most likely they are going to run a slower time because their performance would be better on a normal track.
Meet us in The Bahamas!!! 🌎✈️🇧🇸
I hope so. what’s going on now is madness
Hopefully, with crown restrictions and a promise to have uncut viewing on Tv so people feel confident to watch from home.
Good idea… it makes more sense to have plenty meets on the same weekend separated by various regions; that way there is no risk of the overcrowding problem when having one specify meet. Easier to control and monitor, also it allow athletes in all regions to gain the necessary race experience and exposure needed.
