Woooow, this has to be the worst high jump final of athletics history

 

To know that both Glebauskas and Baikštys were jumping 2.28 just last summer and came into this season hopelessly out of form, makes me feel all kinds of sad. 

 

Missed opportunity for the both of them to get something good on their resume. 

 

Just like Stanys with that one silver medal and nothing else for the rest of his life. 

It was due to rain.

Qualification promised to fight of 8 jumpers in 2:30

Yeah, they messed up the last change & of course the fourth girl did not have the speed to catch up.

Going to be legal problems for  &  in the women’s 4x400, one of them will be DQFed for the second change.  Some Slavonic swear words exchanged.

Why is Turkey allowed to run the 4x100m again? I'm catching up on the morning and just got to their heat, but even with 10 replays I can't see them being impeded anywhere

They aren't allowed to run again, they are allowed to run. 17 relays qualified in the 4x100m, because two relays had the same time during the qualification period. And the stadium in Munich has only 8 lanes.

 

I just don't understand why they didn't make 3 runs with 6, 6 and 5 relays.
