Belle 730 Posted August 20, 2022 #644 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Congrats Greece! Love that the young generation take gold and silver and the grandma the bronze. I’m pleased with the results in the women’s javelin Makedonas, maestro, Ted and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makedonas 1,666 Posted August 20, 2022 #645 Share Posted August 20, 2022 GOLD for Elina, so awesome! We won 4 gold medals here now, the first 2 on the same day (women's 35km and men's long jump), and then the second 3 on the same day (women's 20km and women's javelin). 20 years ago, Mirela Manjani won gold in the women's javelin in Munich 2002. Now, 20 years later once again in Munich, Elina Tzengko wins gold in the women's javelin. Both girls are of Albanian origins as well. Really we've only had three notable female athletes with Albanian origins, and all are javelin throwers . Of course Elina is the only one who was born in Greece, the other two were migrants. Manjani won two Olympic medals so hopefully Tzengko can also do the same. Her progress reminds me of Tentoglou's, so hopefully she can become as dominant as him over the next few years.

phelps 6,991 Posted August 20, 2022 #646 Share Posted August 20, 2022 12 minutes ago, Makedonas said: Is it confirmed that Vuleta is retiring? I thought she was retiring after the World Indoors in Belgrade but she's still around obviously. It would be a big loss for Serbia as they don't have many top athletes in athletics, although Topic and Vilagos are big hopes for them. no, she already started saying that she might make up her mind after Thursday night's triumph... at least, this is according to our usually well informed broadcasters... maestro and Makedonas 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monzanator 3,613 Posted August 20, 2022 #648 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Alright, women's 4x400 final next. Anything below gold medal for Poland will be deemed a minor failure but Swiety-Ersetic just isn't good enough this season so we might settle for bronze behind GB and Pays Bas.
