I mean, just throw in additional segments showing the attempt, separately. Then compare scores. Oh, your run took 55 seconds compared to 1st place's 18 seconds huh?
Having them run at the same time could be seen as unfairly giving a country two contestants.
would be really funny at least
I'm afraid it might have been Jerry Seinfeld, but I remember a comedian doing a bit about this that involved the phrase "involuntary luge." That they'd pressgang people off the street to do Olympic games. "Come on sir." "No, I don't want to do the luge."
An interesting idea, but I doubt the TV folks go for it. You would have events taking much longer and need more cameras or crazy distant shots to show the presumed gap they would have. Just be a pain to show.
they could cut to a commercial and come back when they are about to complete
Yes, this could be quite entertaining.
I believe that the organizing committee for Paris Olympic plans a Marathon for all which is a Marathon open to the general public (so something like able to finish a Marathon in 6h) with a neat parcours like Eifel tower, Versailles castle and back.
That said, is someone able to finish a Marathon a random person or not?. Now, anyone is able to run. However, most of us would just be a danger for ourselves or the others in a judo, diving, climbing, skating event
I can answer that ! I tried to get a place for the marathon, and there were some prerequisites : to be selected, you needed to be able to run a semi-marathon.
Yes but let everyone use chemical or technological enhancers freely.
