not all nations use foreign athletes to pretend they are strong, not all nations and not all people feel it`s normal. My mind is clear about it, it`s easy shortcut but it`s a lie. I mean that it`s legal etc but it is a bit...hmmm.....unfair. Well...maybe each nation has 3 marathon runners from Africa - Iceland too...isn`t it a farce a bit? Not my problem

 

Ah yes, surely Switzerland is 'using foreign athletes' to pretend they're strong. I mean, he has been living in Switzerland for a long time, has a family there and everything, but I guess that doesn't count. 

 

Will it count as 'European gold' when his son, born and raised in Switzerland, wins gold? Or is that not European enough yet, and does Abraham's grandson have to win gold in order to count as European? Or should every winner simply have a white skin in order to be counted as 'European enough'? 

 

Someone like Tadesse Abraham (or Israeli Salpeter, for example) is so much different than for example the average Turkish or Azeri athlete. Not every single athlete born outside Europe is 'unfair' when they compete in Europe.

political situation has nth to do with our protests. Well, sure, double gold in W 400m is not enough to be in TOP 5 of the day, Przybyłko`s gold is :d

I fell in love with sports.....since i first seen it

You mean because of his last name? Like Baumgart is a german last name and therefore germany won a gold medal for Poland?

 

Przybylko's family only emigrated to Germany due to communism while Baumgart was born in a city that only become German due to partitions. After Germany's defeat in WWI it's a Polish city again :bye:

i`m not judging all cases but a "trend", this trend is very bad

IAAF knows that's a problem so they've introduced these new passport rules. Kenyans winning European Championships is bad no matter how you want to spin it :wacko:

Your mind is not clear, it's twisted.

Who is using foreign athletes to pretend they are strong?

By your logic, Muir beating Ennaoui this evening will be "good news for Europe"?

Meucci beating the Polish runner of African origins in 2014 was good for Europe? :crazy:

Bad for who, exactly? 

for nations choosing to try to have their own good runners, for "justice"

sure we could have 3 Ethiopians or Moroccans...but i think it leads to nothing, African-born runners have clear advantage. UK, France is sth different, Italy, Turkey etc...c`mon Ali Mustapha Sprinter Barnes - it`s even a bit funny ;)

We didn't buy these athletes when they showed some sporting promise as juniors or got married to a Polish citizen. Ennaoui lives in Poland since she's 2 years old.

Sophia has a Polish parent, like Artur Partyka case - read before you post sth. We had 1 runner, he escaped his country, he stayed here. Well, i also thought it`s unfair and i wasn`t a fan of this

    • I think the reason is that it's generally preferable to have a fast shooter in the 1st leg, and especially in the prone shooting, where Hofer is quite slow.   Now, I'm not saying I agree with the choice, because I don't. I think it's going to neutralize Giacomel's skiing skills in the 1st lap at least.   I guess the idea is to try and set a very fast pace in the 1st leg, which is usually quite tactical, but I'm afraid that's going to force Giacomel to risk too much because he will feel he has to make some time somehow.   Regardless, Italy must be on the podium tomorrow. I think that would be crucial for the following races as well. I think France is the clear favorite, but the other teams are not stronger than Italy on paper.
