Since no one, except perhaps kuha, took my suggestion, inspired by marknhj's observations, for the 'simultaneous shot put' seriously, I thought I would post it again.
I think it would be pretty fascinating: 12 behemoths lined up in a row and tossing their multi-colored orbs all at once. You would know instantly who is in the lead after each round.
Another suggestion: Why not have the 400 meters run with only a one turn stagger? After the first turn, break for the pole, just like the 800. You know right away who is in the lead, unlike the case now, where it isn't obvious who is in the lead until the final straight and by the then the race is usually over.
