Another way of looking at it is that distance has the roads and cross country while sprinting just has track. So it makes complete sense for them to push distance out of track especially since it’s dominated by poorer countries that should have no business denying Western countries complete glory like they have in every other sport except running.
Why do you carry such negativity? Just when your comments make sense you slide in being victimized by the west or whites. Stop searching for ways to verify your narrative. Instead, focus on the fact that the world governing body is making changes that negatively impact a large segment of athletes and running fans. Use your intelligence, voice, any any influence you may have to make positive change - please.
I believe the sport of track and field needs to promote distance events to capitalize on the population that runs distance races. Now how do we convince the IAAF of that?
You think I’m negative?
