Athletics at the European Championships 2022

so, Ehammer is leading the Decathlon with a huge margin...

 

and considering that he's good to great in the 110m Hurdles (13.48 PB), pretty good (5.10m PB) in the Pole Vault and not so tragic in the 1500m (4.42.x PB), he only has to survive a very poor discus throw (39m PB) and a modest javelin throw (55m PB) to take the gold medal home...

 

I don't think there's room for Kaul (nor anybody else) for a comeback...

I am not so much in to the details but I know Ehammers Pb had a day 1 that was 100p better than the world record so to be in a significant lead was not that surprising. However extreme impressive. Might have won the long jump too

Gold for :CRO Filip Mihaljevic in men's shot put :)  21.88 in the last attempt just to confirm it.

 

Two medals for Croatia on day one :p

Schilder would have just barely made the Top 5 in 1982. :p

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1982_European_Athletics_Championships_–_Women's_shot_put

I think that women's shot put has become a rather unpopular discipline lately. Seeing as it's not as fashionable as running, jumping or even the physique that javelin throwers tend to have, not many young women athletes are becoming interested in this discipline and even less go pro. 

 

Here in Lithuania right now, we have a single athlete that specialises solely on the shot put, the other women are discus throwers first, others are throwing for the sake of heptathlon or are in that age range where they force you to do everything. 

 

There was a bit more interest in this discipline, but nearly every prospect retired, I somehow wonder it must be a similar case throughout other countries as well. 

 

To emphasise, here are our best shot put attempts from this season:

I. Zarankaitė, E. Zarankaitė, Rudytė and Stuglytė that didn't fit in the screenshot are discus throwers.

 

Bačianskaitė, Juškevičiūtė and Vaitaitytė are all heptathletes.

 

Nikiforovaitė is the only one that mainly focuses on shot put, but since she is still u18 level this year, it's highly likely she won't continue that much further as all our shot put prospects quit by the age of 24.

So, Israel has become the new Turkey in the long distance runnings. Lots of goings to the African market from my watching today...

    • After all, Trento is the capital of Alto Adige... For me personally Trento is nicer places than Bolzano, but I haven't been there for many years, so maybe I would have a different opinion now.

    • A comeback would absolutely be doable  - Joe Pavey, Mara Yamauci  & Georgia Hunter Bell all rejoined the sport very successfully after many years out with careers or family.
    • That's great, congratulations to both of you! I wish her a good recovery. 
    • This is not a full retirement, but kind of a break/sabbatical due to...reasons.    For those who have been following @brunamoura's journey towards and last February eventually, finally, at the Olympics, this might be an interesting update. The 2030 Olympics are still in her sight, but next year's world championships in February seem...unlikely.   She still needs to do at least two surgeries, one on her nasal cavities due to a chronic inflammation that has been bothering her for years, and one on her legs. In the Olympic season she struggled immensely with pain in her legs, which in the freestyle technique made her sometimes just not even able to move and therefore finish or even start the races. The Olympic 10k freestyle was hard and painful, but she managed to get through it. We knew she was dealing with compartment syndrome, which is quite serious and certainly needs to be dealt with surgically, but the recovery time for that meant that doing so during the season would likely jeopardize the Olympics - again.   The plan was to do the surgeries this year, but that's unlikely to happen now...    
    • My admittedly tiny sample at least made it feel like the safest and nicest place     Milan....I was very glad to be out of there, Bologna almost felt even worse, and I was also happy to leave Trento behind after barely a day there   Livigno didn't feel bad like that, the issue there is that Livigno people seem to believe the world outside of Livigno doesn't really exist.   Every time I have been in South Tyrol though, it always just felt...lovely, cozy, nice, friendly, and so on.   But obviously that is all a matter of opinion. Besides that I mostly went on statistics and Alto Adige generally scoring very high in things like quality of life and low crime rates  
    • Very interesting Article, not a lot of vast shocks in it, but great that she's found some happiness. She switched allegiance to Ireland from the US quietly a few years back, but I'd say the odds on her acting on it are pretty long - still, it maybe feels like a little statement of emancipation to herself, in which case, good on her.
    • That Kazda´s first goal was also something else
