Made a mistake..I thought it was 570cm. You are right. But still 560cm ... Decent chances to qualify via ranking... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Linha 459 Posted July 11, 2021 #62 Share Posted July 11, 2021 Wonderful 2 ? for in short time. Amálie Švábiková in pole vault was expected to fight for medal. But that Jan Štefela will take the title in high jump? Nobody expected that ... hckošice, maestro and Adriano 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OlympicsFan 776 Posted July 11, 2021 #64 Share Posted July 11, 2021 In men’s high jump the level was disgustingly bad (2.17 m winning silver ...) and in women’s 4x400 m Germany didn’t use their (by far) best runner. This again shows that people shouldn’t just look at the medals, but at the actual performances. In many disciplines some of the best athletes didn’t even compete. Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makedonas 1,560 Posted July 11, 2021 #65 Share Posted July 11, 2021 Tsitsos 4th in men's javelin I wanted a medal but still nice to see him back and with a new PB again after two years of dealing with injury problems and barely competing. So Greece ends with 4 medals, pretty good considering we only won 2 in 2019. This was the most medals we've won at this event since 2003. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinzha 513 Posted July 11, 2021 #66 Share Posted July 11, 2021 Impressive silver for Roosen in the men's decathlon with his first ever 8000+ score. And a bronze for Van Es on the 5000m. A few disappointments in the tournament, but all in all 6 medals isn't bad for the Dutch athletics team. Let's not forget Femke Bol and Lieke Klaver are also in this age group!

Olympionikes 25 Posted July 11, 2021 #67 Share Posted July 11, 2021 Pretty impressive 17 medals for us, unfortunately only 3 titles but medals in discus or javelin throw are not common in France. Hoping to see some of them in 2024 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcro 10,172 Posted July 11, 2021 #68 Share Posted July 11, 2021 The only notable result for Croatia came in the decathlon, where Fran Bonifačić placed 6th and broke 38-year old NR (which was held by Blanka Vlašić's father). Hopefully it's the making of our first high level combined athlete. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
