world sporting events

Can anyone please help with these long anagrams? I'm stumped but would appreciate any thoughts.
1. AACEEEEFGHIIILLMNOPRRRSSTTU
2. AAAABBCCDDDEEEFGHIMNOOORRRTTX
3. AAAACCCEEGHHHIIIKLLMMMNNNOOOPPRSTWW
4. ACDFGHHIIIILMMMNNOOOPPRSSSWW - for this I managed to get WORLD SWIMMING CHAMPIONSHIPS but was left with OF. Might it be a mistake?

I'm on it

The anagram solver doesn't come up with any of them - are you sure about the letters? - the last one perhaps could be swimming championships of world, but it's rather a duff answer.

3. Commonwealth Race Walking Championship

crumbs, well done TC!

[irismay]

Thank you very much Boxtops and Travelchicken2. I am just going to put World Swimming Championships - the OF is excess to requirements! Would never have got the Race Walking by myself. Ok back to the Scrabble letters to try and make something of the last 2 questions.

[travelchicken24]

1. Athletics maybe
2. Motor X, Moto X, Boxing maybe
4. Golf maybe

Thanks travelchicken2 - you have certainly given me plenty of ideas.

Aye these are tricky.... this is what I have got so far (with letters left over)

1. The Masters Golf (ACEIILRRUPNEI)
1. European Athletics Mile (FRIGRS)
1. Horse racing flat mile (EEPRSTIU)

For no 2, The X indicates boxing but there are no W's for heavyWeight etc.. or P for 'championship'

Could be 'mixed' something...

I'm going to bed now 8-)

Did anybody manage an answer for these?

Hi johne 1892 - at long last I have got the last 2 questions
1. Scottish Premier League Final (I copied one R too many)
2. The Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race
Thanks to everyone who helped - just wait until you see my next anagram quiz - it's worse. I've 9 to get out of 25. I shall put it on board shortly asking for help
