Btw, if anyone picked M.Lewandowski for a medal in the 800m then it's DOA since he will run 1500m instead

I didnt pick him for any medal, but i am surprised to hear this, dont see him beating Jakob or Filip, maybe Henrik, but in the 800 he would have had a better chance for a medal imo, probably polish federation wanted a medal contender in 800 m and 1500 m.

Thank god i picked Halasz for bronze and not Bigot or Miller.

What about all the athletes in events where there are no prelims?

Not a single attempt above the automatic qualifying Mark in Group A of the M Shot Put Qualifications, but in the opposite, the Group B started in class with already 2 direct qualifications. David Storl 20.63 and Michal Haratyk 20.59

Federation has nothing to say about that and Kszczot gets more attention here anyway. Our top athletes can set their own terms and there was no way they could force Lewandowski to focus on the 800m if he didn't want to. His main weakness was always the lack of a good finishing sprint and nobody wins global medals jogging at 1:49 pace in the 800 anymore.

What's up with people betting on Partanen?  His odds were much higher, whereas Toth was a 1.2 favourite earlier

50km is not what it used to be. It'll be a one-horse race.

It is expected to be around 34°C tomorrow,  The race was supposed to start earlier, some (including Matej) wanted the start already at 6:00 AM, the jury decided to after several debates to move the start at 8:00 AM..but because of TV broadcasters interventions, they returned the start time at 8:30. Gonna be a massacre tomorrow
