Lol a lot of people got perfect score in womens kite and we probably all did the same: search the World Ranking and just give medals to 1, 2 & 3 as they were there

And since we have only Pablita as regular participant, we can have just one mixed team  

Then the other teams compete with the shame of being a male only team, and wishing they had a female to make them attractive to the IOC

What a day for @Dunadan! Two medals, bronze and gold one! It was a "photo finish", leading most of the time, but eventually winning the race. Two perfect prediction brought him the win: Men's Hammer Throw and Women's 200m. Another medal for you and team Italy! Congratulation!  

What second half of the championships for @EselTheDonkey! Very close to win the event, but one perfect prediction on Men's 400m Hurdles was enough for silver only this time. But I am sure he's satisfied with his second medal in a very few events he entered! Congrats   

It was either team Italy or team Germany, and Germany prevailed! Congrats @OlympicsFan on winning bronze medal. Great predictions throughout the championships.

@Henry_Leon was there, but few points short for the podium. Finally top 5 showing for our beloved Belgian @heywooduGreat debut for @Speedy, another top 10 for @dcro and maybe a bit disappointing end contest-wise for @Monzanator but I believe he's actually very happy with the results of Polish athletes. Decent result for @chrischi08 and @Pablita  

 

Special thanks to my little elf @Werloc for all the help  

 

Thank you everyone for participation. General Standings coming in next three days and then we'll have few weeks break before we start our "fall season". I definitely need time off
Until mid-September

PS some of you may be relieved - we have completely "European" podium  I guess

@Dunadan is new Deuce in term of number of wins in prediction contests

Would be interesting to know how many perfect predictions dunadan had. If i would have predicted womens 50 km race walking, then my prediction would have been gold for Henriques, silver for Takacs and bronze for the girl from Slovakia, so i would have had 208 points as well. I had 3 perfect predictions (womens heptathlon, womens 4 x 100 m relay and mens 400 m hurdles), which is pretty bad, so i guess dunadan would have won anyways.

Finally a good result

 

This kind of contest is so much better than those "predict the goal difference" things

Thank you very much for organzing the contest @Wanderer and congratulations @dunadan for the win in the photo finish.

In that case you would have won cause you have three perfect predictions, and Dunadan two.
