Currently, certain indoor track races are banned as they are viewed as contact sports but pub drinking and outdoor sporting events with 60,000 fans are no problem.

Soccer and drinking are big business in Europe. Track and field don't generate enough revenue to concern the politicians.

Its about time this was ridiculed internationally. Both the Scottish and Welsh devolved governments are playing politics with each other, trying to do outdo the British Government with the most restrictive restrictions. To hide the fact that basic public services are declining. The Welsh Government actually made it illegal and a criminal offence to GO TO WORK if you could work from home a few weeks ago in response to the Omicrom damp squib:

It was actually illegal to participate in athletics in Scotland, except at elite level, for much of 2020 while it remained legal to go to the pub (although singing, dancing and laughing in pubs were banned). In the winter of 2020, in freezing temperatures, we had to sit outdoors if wanting to have food from a restaurant. And here we are again, more than a year later with the same thing. Hardly anyone is in intensive care in Scotland with Covid, wards are empty. All around people are dying young of cardiac failure and developing Type 2 diabetes yet the government is preventing people from participating in athletics.
Banning going to work and competitive endurance athletes is completely the opposite sort of things you want to do. It flies in the face of all common sense. Its very hard to challenge these things, and too few people are speaking out.

LRC is the premier place to "ridicule things internationally," thank you for your service. I will pass on your ridicule to the parties involved.

you forgot the conservative comedy scale.
It's a straight 1:1 conversion from the conservative "I agree with this" scale.
