100m skip

100m 3 legged race
The point is to get from start to finish in the fastest time possible, is it not? Why have them do it in awkward, slower ways?

There's a 3000m and a 3000m steeplechase.
There's long jump and triple jump
There's hammer throw, discuss and shot put, all throwing events.
And of course!! the 50k race walk!
