Hmm, I wonder why one can't be elite at both the shotput and the mile?
I think the point of this event is to be great all-around athletes.

There’s some truth to this. Gotta have a place to put the guys who aren’t good

Decathlete ran a 10.12 100M. That’s insane! You are crazy.

The same guy might have medaled in the long jump

Yeah I they said he’d have been bronze? Pretty crazy!

Warner would have taken bronze in the long jump

Warner is one of the “few exceptions” I noted above

But he and others are elite in their ability to do them all very well in 2 days.

I agree, most tv broadcasts don’t do it justice. But I think the combination

Usain Bolt isn't even elite at the 400.

Track is so specialized, no track of all trades can be elite in diverse

The winner is known as “the Worlds Greatest Athlete”

Because you have to be the best all around athlete. That's more impressive

Triathlon is. Three distinct sports and they’re masters at all of them.

Three cardio/endurance sports that focus on different muscle groups. Those folks

Not even close

They run a sub-30 minute 10k after the swim and the bike, so yeah, they do that.
Chasicle

Even though I disagreed with you above, I do agree they are fantastic endurance
SweetBabyG

In three unique and completely different sports. Not just ok at them.
Chasicle

Mastering a whole set of skills arguably makes them a better athlete.

Not at all, especially this year. Those guys are insane athletes, they

what you are complaining about is the whole point of the event. they're the Taysom Hills of the Olympics

Let’s look at the numbers
TrackCoug
8/4/21 8:56pm
You can say the same about almost all athletes
redraider88
8/4/21 9:04pm
you disagree that's fine, but the rest of the sports world calls them the best over-all athletes in the world
byujag
8/4/21 9:06pm
Then maybe we need to re-score the event.
