Pros – medals can be awarded for each event at the time of competition with competitors for the same event all due to compete at around the same sort of time.

Cons – could mean competitors looking to enter other sports events need to enter one or the other rather than allowing for the option to enter both sports.

NOTES: races can be mixed event classifications (ie  a 1000m race can include male and female competitors racing in different age bands, results can be automatically processed from this along with visual indicators to spectators and competitors who is race who within any given race).
