A new combat format organized in Sydney, Australia, has caused a great stir on social media.
İdman.Biz reports that within the "Run Nation Championship", participants try to knock down their opponent by running towards each other at maximum speed. The side that remains standing is considered the winner. The competition, held with simple rules, has caused both surprise and dissatisfaction.
Videos depicting the moments of collision of heavyweight athletes at the event have quickly spread.
Criticism of the new format has been harsh. Many fans and experts consider this kind of confrontation dangerous. Neuroscientist Alan Pearce stated that direct collisions create a risk of severe concussion and trauma, and that fatal outcomes may be only a matter of time.
Although the organizers say that safety protocols have been applied and that participants have undergone medical examinations, the main concern is the possibility of young people imitating these images.
Despite the rapid depletion of tickets and increasing interest, the future of this sport remains a serious topic of discussion. The organizers have already announced that they are planning the third tournament.
