- The complicating factor is the heats. You must not only avoid putting two
- events close together, but also their heats. When their are 4 or five rounds
- of the 100 meteres and 200 meters and 400 meters, and you want to make both
- the 100/200 and the 200/400 doubles possible (not to mention the constraints
- added by making the 100/LJ/TJ, 400/800, plus the relays, all of which have
- several rounds of qualifying and you get an almost impossible scheduling
- problem. Under the circumstances, they do pretty well. I.e. 200 doesn't start
- till 100 is done; relays left till last; only one jump needed for Lewis and
- Powell to qualify for the LJ finals.
