Bet these athletic federations are making the athletes pay or putting them in dirty motels and cheap planes so they can have a higher salary for the greedy individuals profiting off then.
Neither of those are astronomical. High but not terrible.
Yeah it's around what you should expect to drop for a quality vacation. Now if watching a world cross meet in a boring city is your idea of a vacation then so be it.
Haha! You sound poor! Typical penny pinching American runner that doesn't like paying for things. Maybe someone here can help you find a free low quality stream of the race? You can watch and then spend hours afterwards complaining about the glitchy video and announcers who didn't seem prepared.
You have to be a $500,000/year Silicon Valley Engineer to afford WXC 2023 Bathurst!
This meet should just be in Europe. If the US can put together a venue with spectators then bring it here.
Last time is was in Europe (Denmark) half the European countries still didn’t send full teams (Germany, Poland, Portugal …)
Australia sends a full and competitive team no matter where it is in the world. They never cry about a plane ride being too far and interrupting their training. They deserve to host these championships
Sounds similar to the issue of Worlds in Eugene last year. Travelling to Australia and New Zealand is not cheap and has never been cheap. Definitely will not be any $400 RT flights.
