Colonial empires and their problems... sigh... Where would France and UK be without the African & Carribean talent?

 

Having better throwers than Poland ?

 

Spoiler

It's a ridiculous argument that whithout "African & Carribean talent" our sports will vanish out of thin air. Ressources will still be there to be spent on coaches, infrastructures, athletes ... Medals would still be won.

Kaul's forecast is actually a strange mix between junior results and his results at the "grown ups". He already ran 14,55 with Senior hurdles this year, by the way, in the German u-23 Championships. I don't think he will do so today, but I hope for something in the 14,6s.  

 

And he definitely won't throw 48 metres with discus today. Something about 43 metres would already be excellent for him.

 

On the other hand: He can throw the Javelin far over 70 metres.

I remember Kaul's javelin from the junior champs and am really looking forward to that

I never said UK & France would vanish into thin air but it's obvious they profit from influx from colonial talent. Yeah, I know the rich only get richer. I can only second guess where would Poland be if we had the resources similar to France & UK.

 

This is Anita Wlodarczyk's club stadium. I wonder if any of the French champions would even set a foot onto this junkyard?

Should have been quicker to conquer those high seas if you wanted more talent, 16th century Polish leaders clearly didn't have a smart mind thinking about future sports results.

I am still furious at the randomness of this whole mess.
