    I support the attempts to delete DLT and so on because the time shift has negative psychological effects and stress on so many people.

    But me personally i don’t care at all. I guess i am lucky to be naturally an early bird, having a flexible job nearby, no family and so on. It does not matter if i wake up a 7 or 8.

    I love it. Lets fine tune.

    Alcoholicorn said

    give them 1 year and a salary to train, make every event into Cool Runnings. Also only allow 26 year olds so we have a level playing field.

    That would lead to doping abuse and then we’d have to do tons of checks for a year.

    But how about:

    • give them only weeks to train, but on site.
    • have a lottery group of 10 per country, allowing only 3 to compete. That would even it out a tiny bit.
    • the 7 none-competitors are still given responsibilities on the team. As supporters, coaches, spokespeople, crew, … idk managers, etc. I wanna see what the teams come up with. Do they sell merch? Do they provide buses to get fans to cheer at the event? Do they serve their athletes to their best performance?
    • everybody is given the same fixed salary separately, though
    • ah yes and everybody must see the same doctors provided by the Lottery Olympics Committee. Not someone hidden or bribe-able

    Then during the weeks on site there is an entire media team providing insights, doing interviews, shows and whatnot. And a reality tv show or whatever the kids are watching these days.
