So a meassure scandal in the shot put.. IF they cant even meassure correct in shot put, how can we be sure about the 2 cm difference between gold and silver in the discus Throw? 

There's a measure scandal in the shot put? 

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!

There was no measurement scandal...someone initially said that Stanek's throw was "very close to 22m" instead of 21.41 but they were clearly wrong.

Apart from that, Kovacs protested for a foul that was surely a foul, and I'm not certain about Crouser's foul ( ~ 22.30 m) but I didn't see any clear video.

I missed that :yikes:

 

Yeah Kovacs foul was a foul indeed, which he accepted later on. Too bad, only one 22+ throw (legal) was rather disappointing after the past 12 months in men's shot put.

What concerns me in this event is the absence of flagpoles for medal ceremony... At least use that long-black-remotely pulled bar or anything close to that.

 

Btw, I watched the women's marathon yesterday.. Just nice to see the lead kept changing, despite the "Bahraini" winning later destroys the mood a bit.

According to Belgian media, Elaine Thompson was rather sick yesterday (just like Kevin Borlee). Might explain her poor performance.

Bolt is not on the list of the 200m 2016-03-02_14-34-05.jpg.bca78c31735c671753568ebad095edcd.jpg

Cause he didn't enter

As now we come across the world
To share these Games of old
Let all the flags of every land
In brotherhood unfold
