From April IAAF has plans to change the athletics ranking system.QuoteWhat's the change?http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/athletics/43259616
A new world ranking system - similar to those seen in tennis or golf - will provide a run-down of the best athletes in each event.
So in the same way that tennis' tour organisers, through heavy-duty number crunching, define Roger Federer and Simona Halep as the best players in the world, the IAAF will rank their stars.
It won't end the eternal bar-room debate, but it will attempt to provide an objective answer.
What rides on it?
Not just prestige. Qualification for IAAF events will move away from obtaining one-off qualifications times, distances and heights and instead be based on athletes' position in the rankings.
No longer will it be possible to bank on an early-season high-altitude outlier performance as a ticket to the biggest championships.
absolutely insane/disturbing video .. Callum Hawkins basically almost dies towards the end of this marathon (which he was leading by a large margin). Complete trash medical support.
He's basically just dying, no help. So brutal to watch.
