Athletics EAA Under 23 European Championships 2021

Another silver for Karalis. Was hoping he'd be able to upgrade his silver from 2019 to a gold this year but I guess it's still a decent result for him. He's been pretty disappointing the past few years. He's made zero progress while his peer Duplantis has done the exact opposite.

 

I don't want to be too harsh on Karalis because he had some serious injuries, but I question his focus and commitment. He seems like he cares more to be a famous/social media influencer.

 

He's still only 21 but the fact that his PB of 5.80(i) was from February 2018 is quite concerning. Back then he was 18 and seemed like he would surely improve a little more over the next couple years and become a medal contender for Tokyo. Clearly that isn't the case.

I think he should be very happy with silver. Guttormsen looked stronger today and Duplantis + Baehre didn’t even compete, otherwise he would have won no medal.

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

I agree. I meant that I was hoping he'd be able to win gold from when he won silver in 2019. After following his results since then, it became clear that any type of medal would be a success for him here.

Very rare - in fact the first ever in this competition - bronze medal for :AND Carabaña in the men’s steeplechase.

French decathlete Thiery jumped a superb 5.60m in decathlon pole vault. Nobody else jumped more than 4.90m.

Why does he even do decathlon?? ?? This is 10cm below Olympic standard ...

He is 20 years old, maybe he will focus on pole vault in 1-2 years.  There have been examples of athletes starting from combined events and then specialising in one specific event. He will need to improve in throwing events if he wants to continue with decathlon.

We have a policy of trying combined events from the younger age and then let the athlete choose what he likes the most.

 

Besides that we have a great pole vault history.

Are you sure? I thought the standard was 5.80 m.

    • Only 63 goals in the second day.   TUESDAY 13 JANUARY   Men   Sweden-Netherlands 28-0 (16-0)   Finland-Hungary 19-0 (7-0)   Norway-USA 13-3 (7-2)
    • This suggestion has been implemented. If you open the forum's Badminton section, you will get a block with Badminton current and upcoming events: https://totallympics.com/forums/forum/21-badminton/   I will start implementing this also for other forums in the next days. Also this can be implented in the Qualification Tracker pages, with events of that single sport displaying in the respective sport's sections.   EDIT: testing with a Winter Sport event, which currently has some events in progress and some more starting in the next days: Alpine Skiing section
    • So qualification isn't done, and the last few spots are very close with essentially one more race to go.   On the 6th and 7th Canada entered 6 racers in the lower tier North American cup races in Lake Placid. On the 11th there was races again in Lake Placid, Canada only entered 2 (articles say withdrew 4, start list on the 10th says 2 registered, whatever).  If the total amount entered was above 20 then the ranking points for first start at 120 and go down incrementally, with only 2 Canadians entered there were 19 competitors so points for first only start at 90.    The USA only has a shot at qualifying 2 sleds at this point, and Uhlaender appears to have had a shot at catching up to 2nd best among the americans. She came 1st, those 30 points really cost her if that is how the USA nominates their team.   The best 17 countries get one sled, based on how their top competitor is ranked.  is in 13th with 498 points,  is in 14th with 480,  15th 475,  16th 468,  17th 457,  18th 456 and no one else has the ability to gain enough points.  could have received 27 more points,  19 more,  21 more. So a big deal for them, and not appearing in the stories.   The accusation is that Canada did it for their own gain, to protect Channell's chance of qualifying: the 6 countries with the highest ranked 2nd best slider get a 2nd quota.  Channell holds the last spot at 512,  Erlacher is next at 484. Both only race at the World Cup level. However, the next best after that is  Simmchen at 391, who did race in Lake Placid and misses out on 25 points. Both her and her teammate would have to pass both Channell and Erlacher in the rankings for them to achieve a 2nd quota. A miraculous outcome, but that is what Uhlaender is accusing the Canadians of being afraid of. Could be, I don't think so but who knows.  
    • I see, wasn't sure if they had internal trials like Canada had in the past. So Uhlaender will receive 84 points, more possibly if she races again, and Ro has one more race. So very understandable why she would be upset. 
    • The American selection criteria is IBSF ranking as of January 18th. Currently:   15  Kelly Curtis 710 16  Alessandra Fumagalli 704 17  Mystique Ro 694 18  Valentina Margaglio 668 19  Sujung Hong 662 20  Katie Uhlaender 660   So those 30 points could be important depending on next weekend.
    • Regarding  and  :   The FIL documents refer to Part C.2.2. of the Qualification rules regarding Athlete eligibility, it seems the Canadian women's double is missing the minimum of timed runs in Cortina (c.2.2.1), whereas the other are missing the requirement under C.2.2.2
