intoronto 4,242 Posted July 17, 2022 #251 Share Posted July 17, 2022 4th for Canada in the women's shot put, on brand! But really proud of Mitton, gutsy performance to get Canada's best ever finish in this event. She will be back. George_D 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FireRun 179 Posted July 17, 2022 #253 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Sad for Tentoglou. I thought he had it with 8.32m, but Wang came out of nowhere in that last round. Makedonas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know this is not true on paper but it feels like the Netherlands does well in every sport. Our success in athletics is a very recent phenomenon, but I'm loving every moment of it! Schilder is still improving every tournament, I hope she keeps this up. Apparently she and the Canadian were friends too, they were hugging and chatting after the throws.

Pifta 41 Posted July 17, 2022 #255 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Somebody scored no result in long jump. I don't know how that is possible. If somebody stepped in let's say 5cm after the line, their result is technically 5 cm. Can be decisive in case of a tiebreak or something :D the same goes for triple jump. Simply, the first jump is just very short. (Joking a little, extremely hard to imagine a scene where it matters if somebody stepped in 5 or 7 centis) CCB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heywoodu 13,557 Posted July 17, 2022 #256 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Bit of a disappointing 100m final in terms of time, but definitely not in terms of tension, that was fun Same for long jump: no fantastic jumps, but a great twist at the end. I truly thought Tentoglou was going to do it in Tentoglou style again - never amazingly good, but always incredibly consistent and solid - but not this time Makedonas 1 If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

So you have to jump! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what is the rule? :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you cannot measure a jump as being 1.25cm because your foot has never left the ground. I suppose that is the rule, you are have to start on the ground (obviously!), leave the ground and the jump is measured from the position where you land.

Belle 722 Posted July 17, 2022 #260 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Fiasco for Sweden (yes I mean especially Montler) I don’t expect any other medal for Sweden other than…well you know. Now I pray for him to not get Corona or anything else bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
