Another e-mail to the BBC
Dear John Inverdale,
I agree wholeheartedly with your idea of a staggered start in the 800m at the end of the heptathlon, but why stop there? In order to clarify the event for spectators, I believe that all the events should be staggered after the first one, so competitors lagging behind have to throw their javelin from further back, do the long jump from further back, etc.
No, just kidding. Anyway, keep the crackpot suggestions coming.
Sincere regards,
Daniel McKeown
