WIC Nanjing is a sellout already and GST is a flop, WTF?

The CCP no doubt will arrange for full attendance.

Chinese consumer: “Look! There is a big track meet coming to our town with many great athletes. That’s interesting and we should check it out! Tickets are affordable. Thanks, CCP!”.

American consumer: “Hmm. Where? God, no! Traffic is always a nightmare at that place, the surrounding neighborhoods are sketch, and parking is a rip off. No shade in the stadium and food is stupid expensive. Honestly, let’s just catch a movie and then check out that Peruvian inspired fusion sushi place that opened last week. I need IG clout and no one in our circle has posted from there yet.”

China is a serious country where people walk around places and value sports

America is a joke where fat obese people on their coaches complain about "welfare queens"

Large international sporting events in China like the ATP tour, Diamond League, etc. range from sellouts to extremely low turnout.

MJ was dissed by Petr and Seb.

It's not any one person's fault. The US is just NOT interested in watching a T&F meet. Never has been interested.

I heard MJ and GST had no conversation with Kim Gaevert, Seb Coe nor Petr Stasky when they was at the Brussels Dl in Sep. They don't recognize MJ at all.

US folks have tried everything. Still no fans.

How do we know GST is a flop?

American attention span is too short for a track meet

Will the Flotrack Diamond League broadcast WIC Nanjing?

It is NOT a flop, It is going to Thrive, And American Fans Coming to Watch will sell out, Prediction The Olympic Track will stay in the Los Angeles Coliseum after the 2028 Olympics, Where it belongs, because they will need that big a stadium for all The Fans who will want to see it live.

TLDR

I can't speak to Nanjing since I don't know anything about Chinese stadiums, ticket prices, fans, etc.

But I can tell you why GST is going to have a hard time: It is a three day meet. That is enough of a reason to fail. Even if the meet comes directly to your town, you usually don't see people saying, "let's go watch a three day sports event." That is not a thing in most sports. Sorry. Three days is way too long.

Another problem is that distance fans want to watch 800, 1500, 5000m and don't care too much about the sprints. Sprints fans are the same way; they won't care about Fisher running in a 5000m. So half the meet doesn't really interest me.

no field events

Flotrack Diamoind League didn't buy Eugene DL because its Class E, 1K-3K fans, but they bought all the rest with 20K to 60K fans. Maybe Grand Slam will be like Europe but the NYGP, LAGP have been duds too so far.

How is WAR Guanzjou?

Wait but that lowkey does sound delicious
