Unless there's an unlikely XXX in some event, I'd say the gold for heptathlon is already clear and some might say it was already clear after the U18 WCH

But you are not reading it properly. It's obviously boys decathlon for women. 

Ah, sounds like a test event for next year's European Games?

Race walk

Anyone else find it insanely annoying that IAAF has separate lists for 5000m race walk and 5km race walk? Seriously, what's up with that? Same thing for 10.000m and 10km + 20.000m and 20km.

Maybe becouse the 5000m are in the stadium and the 5km is a road event?

Yes, I honestly never understood that nor have I ever wanted to try and understand it.

 

Edit: Okay, I think @Gianlu33 got it

Probably, but still. At least give the option for a combined list.

YES, we're strategically moving in on the last place in the race walk, because that's where you want to be

Look, there are like 9 people watching the U18 European championships girls 5000m race walk. If you want to be seen, you have to either get a medal or finish dead-last and be in view of those 3 people who are like "aaw look she tried so hard"
