Insane ending at the Talence Decastar heptathlon :yikes: 

 

Dutch Emma Oosterwegel has 9 points to defend on Austrian Ivona Dadic in the 800m. Dadic attacks in the last lap and gets a gap of 1-2 seconds, which is enough. Oosterwegel pulls absolutely everything out of it though, and closes the gap back to a little under 0,7 seconds.....the result?

I do not think I have seen that in the recent past :d

"Should athletes end the competition tied on points, then the athlete with the most points in the majority of the events wins. If the tie remains, the athlete with the most points in any one of the events is awarded the win."

 

Or have they changed this rule and not updated the webpage?

The answer is yes. They changed this rule but not the webpage

Eliud Kipchoge has gone off very, very strong in Berlin: 28:23 for the first 10k, whereas he posted 29:01 in his world record run in 2018.

Don't know, if people are aware, but i just read this sad news. :(

 

Former pole vault star Tim Lobinger has been battling leukemia for a few years and has admitted, that there isn't a way back from this and the end is near. :cry:

 

Names come and go, but i still remember watching him 15-20 years ago. When i first started watching athletics he was one of the most recognizable faces for me. He also started and led Germany's best period ever in the pole vault alongside Bjorn Otto, Danny Ecker, Holzdeppe, Malte Mohr afterwards. A vacuum, that has been severely missed the past years.

    • I remember that in 2017 i do a medal table excluding all the athletes from the big four ( ) and Mongolia won (14 gold, 2nd Taipei with 7). I'm curious to see if this will change.
    • 3 NOCs won their first medal: (in an Olympic event!), and    
    • I have been told these are the 34 NOC's who attended the Chefs de mission meeting recently (doesn't mean these are the final 34 scheduled to compete)    (did not compete in 2017)   (did not compete in 2017)     (debut, curious to see what they will compete in) (debut)         (have only competed in hockey before, but will be in a new sport this time) (debut)        11 NOC's not present:     (the most surprising as they have an active skier atm)          
    • The CANCER  is attacking Lebanon     
    • Copa Libertadores, Copa Sul-americana ans Brazilian footbal league - Football   Nascar Cup playoffs   Thats all I think.
    • Really relaxed week (at least for me), off the top of my head I’ll only be watching the Bills-Jaguars game in NFL, WTT China Smash, Athlos in athletics, the GSOC Hearing Life Tour Challenge and maybe some Canucks pre-season games.    No ATP/WTA tennis. 
    • Wait they are hosting a Skater XL event as their esport thingy? looooooooooool, that's hillarious.
    • After 3 months UEFA have finally acknowledged, that there was a huge mistake in the Germany - Spain match and the Cucurella handball should have been a penalty  Well la di da, that was evident for everyone and their blind dog, except for one fraud named Anthony Taylor and his helpers. Give that man more awards.
