Two good televised (or streamed) meets this weekend from Nairobi & Tokyo, but lots of complications about what’s on where.

Nairobi's meet just lost its main event...

 

the 100m Olympic Champion Marcell Jacobs in fact has been recovered to the hospital because of severe gastric problems, with high fever, vomiting and diarrhea...

 

he was set to make his outdoor debut in an intriguing challenge against Fred Kerley and some of the best African specialists...

 

now his whole season is in danger (hope he hasn't got malaria)...

yes, he's in Nairobi...

 

he started to feel bad already on thursday evening, then yesterday the situation got worse and worse and he had to go to the hospital, where he's still recovered and treated by the doctors...

 

so far, the Italian media only reported the symptoms...malaria has never been named, it's just my fear given the place...

So the Kip Keino Classic is turning into a bit of a disappointment but at least there's still the Mboma drama to follow.

Injured!  :nopompom:

77.19 and third place for Frantzeskakis in the men's hammer throw. I'm glad he got the chance to go to Nairobi. Greece was one of several countries which boycotted the 2017 World Youth Championships when he was the number one U18 hammer thrower in the world at that time, so it was a missed opportunity for him.

    • Yes, he is ones of the first supporters of Milei, owner of one of the most important stock market of Argentina (Bull market), he was peronist and for "unknown reasons" start to be libertarian.   Even being libertarian in my case, i have to admit that him is one of the dumbest of "Milei supporters" and a clown when  he is in TV, he made me feel  embarrassed in many occasions.   Camila Giorgi being with him is.......inconceivable.
    • Ya but the replacement is Pat Bondi, a choice that is only better in so far as Pat Bondi isn't credibly accused of having had sex with multiple underaged girls.   Also, you might recognize this name: Pete Hoekstra has been nominated to be the US ambasador to Canada.
    • Camila Giorgi has a new BF Ramiro Marra. Apparently he's some politician/journalist from Argentina. One of Milei's supporters dare I say? @LDOG@konig            
    • Skeleton Tour moves on to Yanqing  this weekend.  Asian Cup races tomorrow, then the World Cup on Saturday, and then possibly more Asian Cup next weekend before everyone moves over to Altenberg for the start of the full Skeleton / Bobsleigh tour again. 
    • 2-1.   But it's good to have a great champion in the squad. I've been waiting for this my whole life. I wish we had such stars in every sport.
    • But he beat Mouat, who seems to be almost unbeatable 
    • Argentina has a really solid lineup, especially if they have prepared seriously for this event. Of course they don't have a champion like we do, but in this format it is enough to win 1 match to play the decisive doubles.
    • Today we must to beat Argentina. It looks like Sinner will have to win all the singles and doubles for us to defend the title. So far, the 2nd and 3rd favorites before the tournament have already been eliminated: Esp and USA.
