Athletics WA World Championships 2022


Recommended Posts

I'm not a fan of athletics, except for pole vault. Duplantis is just unbelievable to watch. He cannot be a human being. It's impossible!

What relief to see him win the Philippines first world championship medal. Especially after all the troubles he had with the athletics federation 

:PHI sport is looking bright for Paris 2024, I hope the higher-ups don't mess with the athlete's preparation

A somewhat underwhelming championships for :POL

 

Four medals including two which nobody really expected from Zdzieblo which artificially boosted the impression value. We still rule the men's hammer but cons outnumber the pros otherwise:

 

Positives: healthy Ennaoui gets 5th place which pretty was in her ceiling on a global stage, Sułek beats 37 year old heptathlon NR and Skrzyszowska =PB which was lost amid insane 100H level.

 

Negatives: No athletes in M shot put and W hammer throw. Swoboda just can't run under 11 secs outdoors. Missing W 4x400 relay final is criminal.

 

Meh: Male pole vaulters are getting old, Andrejczyk can't stay healthy more than one season over a 4-year span (watch her struggle in 2023 again).

 

Facts: Polish discus and high jump is more or less AWOL. It's not as bad as the women's PV post-Rogowska & Pyrek but it's getting there.

 

See ya in Munich next month! ;)

Amusan :NGR going home $200,000 richer :d (assuming it works that way…)

 

Edit: Nevermind, she only gets a meager $100,000 :p

Enough to buy a couple of new pairs of those super shoes :d 

 

Who knew it'd be distance running and the hurdles to profit the most from them, not a combination I'd expect :p 

 

Fantastic race though anyway, didn't hit a single hurdle and it looked like near perfection.

    • has 2 wins already  Not bad for complete minnows!
    • Your most ever at a Summer Olympics was 14 golds, 20 would be a big increase even with the new sports  I’d say out of them, only costal rowing has a chance of gold, and flag football a medal if they can qualify.    Wouldn’t breaking the 14 from 1984 be a good for Italy? I’d say so. They can’t all convert after all, and you’ve been hovering in the 8-13 range for a while (although Italy has gotten better the past two)   For Canada at least, 11+ golds would be amazing, anything else would be a bonus. We won 9 in Tokyo which is our highest total ever. 
    • Personally, I'm really looking forward to Japan's performance in the World Cup. From the current situation, Japan has a very distinctive playing style. They have strong tactical ideas whether facing European teams or South American teams. However, Japan has never won a knockout match in the World Cup. As someone who has been following Asian football for a long time, I really admire Japanese football.
    • Italy didn't qualify again.    Well, now all that's left is for Germany to be eliminated again in the group stage and we'll guarantee another 4 years of "Brazil, the only five-time champion in history, nobody is bigger than Brazil, respect our history and blah blah" that we use on the internet.
    • Failing to qualify for the World Cup once can be put down to bad luck or other reasons, but missing out three times in a row must be due to an all-round gap. I feel sorry for Italy.
    • Italians can only blame themselves. Serie A has been run by foreigners more than any other Top 5 domestic league. There are zero global stars not named Donnarumma. This is the weakest Italian crop of players I can remember and it's not even close.   As for Poland, our defense did a terrible job. Unlike the much-maligned Michniewicz & Probierz who often parked the bus, Urban completely run out of BS luck since errors proved too numerous & too costly.
    • Okay, but defeats to Macedonia and Bosnia are unacceptable. Above all, let Italians start playing in Italian clubs... Look at Milan or Como...  Another think is the old and ugly stadiums - Türkiye or Poland currently have much better infrastructure than we do.
    • Problem is, that the current funding system of Italian sports - since 2018- relies on football paying the lion's share through taxes (around 70% of the sum that is redistributed). So the rest is strong until it can draw money from football, which in turn makes football weaker and less able to generate money and then who knows. 
    • I prefer our current strong sport at all and weak football than a lucky promotion and defeat at the World Cup, as in 2010 or 2014. Sinner, Brignone, or Antonelli are worth 100 times more than losers like Bastoni.
    • if tonight's humiliation means 20+ gold and 50+ total medals in 2 years time in LA, I'll take it 1 billion times    and I'd never change the emotions of the 2 Olympic weeks in Milan (and the other sites) with just another average soccer world cup
