The IAAF "buried" a 50km walk and with the planned introduction of chips, maybe the whole walk! Who are the killers?

The 50km walk will go internationally unfortunately for the last time at the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo !! After that, this track will be replaced by 30 km and, in addition, other tracks will be shortened according to the IAAF's killer proposal. Walking rules ("ground contact") will be followed by special chips located in the racing shoes. Isn't that the end of the race walk? Shortening tracks from 50km to 30km and 20km to 10km so that walking with chips is walking?
Who are the killers of our discipline ?: Mauricio Damilano, ITA, Chairman, Khaled Amara, TUN, Tim Berret, CAN, Jahn-Pierre Dahm, FRA, Marianne Daniel, USA, Fumio Imamura, JAP, Robert Korzenowski, POL, Peter Marlow, GBR, Jefferson Perez, ECU, Miguel A. Rodriguez, MEX, Jane Saville, AUS, Shand Young, CHN. This commission includes three other key IAAF holders: Sebastian Coe, as President, Paul Hardy as "managing competitions" and Paul Saladie - Gray Eminence, as the head of "Race Management".
Who will be the manufacturer of these chip devices? It's over the sun clear China over Damilana the Elder! And they are already preparing how this will be introduced into the rules of athletics! Won't that mean the end of our sport?
On the other hand: coaches, athletes and other participants are almost 100% AGAINST CHANGES! But in Doha in mid-March 2019 it will still be decided against almost 100%. Determined and decided according to the Mickey-Mouse-proposals of the above commission: when all goes "NORMALLY" , the following conclusions will be voted on AS COMPROMISE! . “The last international 50km walk race will be at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. At the 2021 World Championships in Eugene and beyond, there will be 20km and 30km walks. As soon as new technology for racing shoes is ready, the tracks will be shortened to 10 km and 20 km. According to the IAAF, this is the future of racing. ”
A "NEW WALKING SHOE with a chip" is to be developed as a "holy means" for this? A shoe that evaluates and determines contact with the ground! And that would make the 10km walk races again "walking ".
