No, they're talking about a mixed gender event in its place (4x10km relay??)

...

if there's a mixed-sex event, does that mean the men's 35K disappears as a stand-alone Olympic event?

Ah, maybe you're right. See the second paragraph at https://worldathletics.org/news/pres...-olympic-games

Regarding the long race walk, we will consult with our athletes and Competition Commission to develop an event that is able to feature both men and women. The IOC has suggested this could be any mixed gender event using any current venue, however we are only considering a mixed gender race walk event.

So I read that to mean that the 50W (m and/or w) will be replaced by a mixed-gender walk relay. So the Oly pgm will have w20, m20 and Mix W Relay.
Eugene will have 20W and 35W for both genders and Budapest23 TBD?
