@hckosiceis Lucia Vadlejch married to Jakub? if she is, he certainly needs to get to work on her javelin technique!

She is working on the wrong javelin with Jakub.

Which shows how much of a cushion she still has! KJT is better in five events but still isn't a favorite to win the gold. It's the old saying, you're only as good as your weakest link.

 

Martin Gillingham said she need a PB in the javelin to have a realistic shot at gold.

 

Holzdeppe out. The Germans are having a weak champs here

Compared to the german potential yes, but Germany still has by far the most medals so far and i doubt that any nation will come close to Germany when it comes to number of medals. I think in the end it should be 18-20 medals. Mens track and field events (German coaches should ask Norway about their secret training methods), hammer throw and pole vault are nothing but embarrassing. At least there is some hope in hammer throw, for example Olivia Fromm is 2nd in womens U18 world ranking.

Holzdeppe is still easily the 3rd most talented pole vaulter in the world, but if he doesnt change his coach he can as well retire, i dont think i have ever seen such a huge waste of talent. Overall really embarrassing performances by german pole vaulters. There are some talents (Otchere and Wildgrube on the womens side and Baehre on the mens side), but something is going horribly wrong indeed, in 2012 Germany won silver and bronze in mens pole vault at the olympics and now not even one in the final of european championships. Of course it also doesnt help when your 2 best female pole vaulters (Spiegelburg and Ryzih) dont participate here.

Talent can be easily wasted if don't backed up by hard work. Holzdeppe never struck me as a titan of work tbh.

Krause jogging to a seasons best ...

Lets see what the final will bring, her training performances have been better than ever before, but apparently the training was too hard, so there is a good chance that we will have to wait for next season to see her running fast again.

I think that's it's a DSQ for us

Yes they did married last October

 

nothing unusual, you hardly will find a Czech or Slovak family without relatives from both countries

Perhaps our best relay result ever.
