Cross-country part obviously, not that ridiculous combined endurance event. It would be cool if they used eventing's cross-country course for future Olympic competitions (with obstacles still in place).

That wouldn’t be far off from the course I ran on Friday

@dcro Not that different unfortunately

Holy crap, 71.90m for Mayer in his last javelin attempt!! 

[heywoodu 13,536]

With 4:49.00 Mayer would break the WR by one point. With a PB, he would end up near or over 9200 points.

4'49'' for the WR ; 4'40"" for 9100 points

And as a point of reference: his slowest competitive 1500m ever was 4:36  

 

In the last 2-3 years he's not as fast on it anymore as he was early on in his career when he ran low 4:20's or even sub-4:20's, but yeah, this is gonna be a huge, huge WR if he doesn't get hit by a Segway or something before the start

The 1500m is about to start, history in the making.

[heywoodu 13,536]

Jesus, world record and then the TV misses his finish
