You have some good ideas. However you might run into a real estate problem. Three long/triple jump runways, 3 shot, discus, hammer rings. Are you also suggesting 3 pole vault/javelin runways, plus three high jump venues? And all of this happening at once? Officials and volunteers will be getting injured/killed left and right. Like I said at the beginning, you have some good ideas. But you need to keep in mind how little space there already is for this three ringed circus we call Track and Field.
Thanks. You’re right, real estate would be a challenge. My idea would require a separate field to work, which would mean holding the field events at a different time than the track events. Definitely not the most practical solution, but still fun to imagine!
To clarify, each field event would be held one at a time so that the athletes get the spotlight they deserve.
