Athletics IAAF Under 20 World Championships 2018

Meanwhile we're sending our biggest squad ever.

It's not impossible to see one or two finals, but I guess a PB is needed for it.

Mexico is also sending a small delegation... however out of 6, 4 of them have good chances of qualifying to the final in their events, among them, Race Walk World Cup winner Alegna Gonzalez in 10km; she's going for another medal, against the same competitors she defeated in May. Let's see if she can produce another magnificent last kilometer

@prso1000 @hckosice I see that it's a common tendency in this years U20 to have a small team. They changed up the rules and the qualification period did not start January 1st 2017 as usual, but actually started after the Summer season, from October 1st 2017. This left three of our athletes that had a qualifying mark result last summer back at home, because they couldn't repeat the performance. Our decathletes, one had 1 competition to start in, whilst the other had 2 and same thing for our heptathletes. Other, slightly luckier disciplines had all in all 4-5 chances to start, some were luckier (those U20 that are better than the seniors). Lastly, our national U20 championship was held on the day for entry finalisation, so no results counted from there. This qualification period was a total mess, we were totally capable of sending at least 5 additional people if this summer season didn't end just when it started.

That's a rather piss poor bit of planning..

I'm sure that yesterday in the first or second post there were links to the entry list (I downloaded it from here), live results, etc...why do people always feel the need to delete useful stuff posted by other users

Seriously? Just reported this post to get someone to look at it, because that is just disgusting....

 

Edit: I'm hoping that was a post that disappeared because of the forum being out (again) a few days ago, and not by some power-hungry moderator..

Try reporting the opening post, since apparently reporting gets things deleted with no questions asked (even when done by an abusive user). Maybe then we could put useful links.
