Take at it as you wish, but it should give a very basic idea of each nation strength before these championships begin.
Edited by De_Gambassi53 minutes ago, Vektor said:Well, it will be a 15k stadium after the WCh, the white seats in the upper level will be gone and that level will be turned into a 800m running course and shops. They will probably be able to expand it again if we ever have a similarly big event. 15.000 seats will be plenty enough for most athletics events here, Hungarians don't show up in huge numbers for athletics.
It's more than enough pretty much anywhere these days tbh.
Is it supposed to turn into an olympic stadium if ever Budapest was to host the OG ?
It looks more like a 50-60K stadium than a 36K one !
Anyway, that's the first permanent athletics stadium (10k+ seats ) buit in Europe in a very long time. I would say since Charléty Stadium in Paris (1994) but I'm waiting to be corrected.

Meeting in Sotteville 
live (VPN needed probaby)
Wouah Meniker winning the high jump 
. Last time a french high jumper won anything, we were probably living under an other Republic.
Vicaut with an happy face in a post race ITW. Seems like the last time was ten years ago
As much as crual his DSQ was, this is ridiculous.
Apparently, Abele had announced prior to thechampionship, that this will be its last decathlon. Awful

if you like the empty stands, look at the swimming heats in Rome...there are no more than a few hundred people...
So, pretty much the same number of Italians watching in the stands than Italians winning medals.
team. After one of the weakest ever team sent in Oregon, this one with 101 members will be the biggest in history ! It's labelled as the beginning of a new cycle.

For the 2015 crowd, no Christophe Lemaitre though .
39 minutes ago, heywoodu said:Meanwhile in the decathlon, Swedish Jacob Thelander is still the main favourite to win the gold, but he does have more of a challenge than expected: Dutchman Gabriel Emmanuel is performing way better than the forecast and has closed the gap to within 100 points in terms of the final outcome*.
*Emmanuel is in the lead after day one, but of course we all know we shouldn't really look too much at the standings so far, but at the forecast standings.
Pierre Blaecke of France seems to be on his way to silver for now, although he needs to have a normal pole vault (with normal for him being far above the rest of the field).
Where did you find the projected results ?
Well, one (gold) medal is clearly not that great. But considering the team we had there, that's was kinda expected with only two solid medal hopes (Kevin Mayer and Quentin Bigot).
Honestly, I was fearing we would come empty hand for the fist time since 1993, but Drama Mayer cleared that for us on the last day.
9 Finals is better than expected, and we discovered 2 two new medal hopes for the future (Wilfried Happio in the 400mh and the men's 4*100 relay) and also that Lavillenie is not dead yet. On the placing table, we end up with 32 points which is slightly better than Doha and Tokyo.
Munich can't come soon enough. Plenty of new faces will be there on the road to Paris 2024 LA 2028.

That's the end of the battle for gold, at least hopefully. Hopefully, because if it isn't, that'd mean Mayer gets an injury, NM, fall or something like that, and nobody wants to see that.
Kaul still in excellent position for silver, but at least that is tight with Ziemek and Owens-Delerme now
If Mayer next throws are as bad as his shot put, he won't even be on the podium. It's very open IMO.
Hassan with no medals !
...
Best looking track stadium in the world ? Yes or yes ?

It would be nice if we had these championships every year tbh.
The modest french delegation :
https://www.athle.fr/asp.net/main.html/html.aspx?htmlid=6385
Only potential semi finalists were selected, wich counts for only 7 female athletes in individual events and 21 males.
No much expectations there. I guess 1 or 2 medals is what to be hoped for (Kevin Mayer, the hurdlers, maybe the 800m guys, a miracle on the pole vault...).
TBH, It could also easely be a zero medal championships for us, witch only happen twice in 1983 and 1993.
The future looks brighter though with recent record youth championships, but Paris 2024 is likely to be too soon for most of them.
