Track and Field should plan these Tennis-like GRAND SLAM multi-day events over the course of 4 televised days with Semis and finals for all running events except the 3k steeplechase, 5k and 10k.
Day 1 Semis for 200m, 400m Hurdles and 1500m with finals for High Jump and Hammer.
Day 2 Semis for 400m and 800m with finals for the 10k, Triple Jump and Discuss.
Day 3 Semis for the 100m and 100/110m hurdles with finals for the 5k Javelin and Pole Vault.
Day 4 Finals for 100-100/110m hurdles, 200, 400, 400m hurdles 800, 1500m, 3k Steeplechase, Shot Put and Long Jump.
Heptathlon is completed the first 2 days and the Decathlon is completed the 3rd and 4th day and shown throughout the meet.
DO THIS 5 times a year.
-USA
-London
-France
-Saudi Arabia
-Asia
-Only 16 athletes per event who qualify based off a modified world ranking system with exceptions made for the previous year’s World Champion, Olympic Champion and Diamond league champion on a case by case basis.
-The best face the best.
-TV deals become more attainable.
-Sponsorship Opportunities for a 4 day event become more lucrative.
-Track and Field Athletes’ stories are told better
-Fans become connected to the Stars
