How are existing sporting organizations likely to react to these Games?
Top Some say that vested interests have monopolized sports and become autocratic about what events may be run and how competition may be organized and therefore will not tolerate new ideas. But in reality, many sports have simply had to limit the number of events they can offer in order to keep things manageable and within a time-frame that will fit into a track and field schedule. There are just too many possible variations and sports bodies are generally quite happy for others to experiment with sports events, because it keeps up interest in the main events which they control. Then, if any of the fringe events turn out to be popular and become established over time, they can be included in the main programme.
