Andy, what you say is true, but I do not see the parallel to these track
changes.
Baseball games have been shortened by a matter of minutes, very insignificant
minutes.  The general structure of the game is never changed.  In none of the
other sports do they change rules that redefine the nature of the
competition.  You still have to hit the ball, and score, you still have 3
strikes no matter what the strike zone is.  You still must put the ball in
the end zone, and you still get 6 points for your efforts.  4 downs to make
10 yards.
These new changes to the field events literally change the nature of
competition.  You would force safe jumps just so the vaulters would stay in
the competition.
Oh well we will see.

Faith is a road seldom traveled
Let us run with patience the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus,
the author and finisher of our faith" Hebrews 12: 1-2
