In 2016 the Brazilian finished fourth and Liu Hong won the race at the Race Walking World Championships. Hong was eventually disqualified for doping.

Let's see what happens in a few years from today.

 

I told my wife (chinese national) and her response: Why the hell you automatically think when we are good at something that we must cheat :wacko::cool::lol:

 

Well let's see 2 chinese in top 50km walk and 3 chinese in top 20km walk ..... Something does not smell right and I guess everybody with common sense must spot that.

This is my viewpoint at this point (for all Olympic sports). Either very few people are doping and WADA is trying to catch people, or WADA is only catching certain people that they want too (scenario I hate the most), or more likely in some sports everyone is doping (so competition is somewhat fair) and in other sports not many are and those that do get caught (fair).

I think there are a few sports where doping does not give any big advantage - especially accuracy and agility sports - shooting, boxing, archery, tennis, gymnastics,badminton, hockey, football ..... So they tend to be clean..... But there are sports where doping gives huge advantages - strength and speed sports - weightlifting, - cycling, atheletics, swimming and to some extent wrestling ---- here doping is rampant and technology to catch dopers is always 3-5 years behind doping........... Also some countries are covering up doping or because of huge money  there are well set up commercial organisations........ 

strength does not come from physical capacity but from an indomitable will. - Gandhi

of course the man in this photo is not me (he's the famous Italian singer/showman Caparezza, which actually means "thick hair" in the slang of his region, Puglia/Apulia)...

 

but really, I'm not that far from having something like this on my head (I just keep it a bit shorter because here Summer is hot and keeping hair like that could be annoying)...;)

 

p.s. and no...I'm not offended at all (I know you didn't want to talk about me)...;)

I don't know much about music, much less I don't know Italian singers.
In Italy, the fact that the climate is warm and in long hair would be a problem.
I am too short in the forum to know everyone.

      Alpine skiing also we have a lot of problems: the men's team is very weak and has been winning a few podiums a season for several years and the our best skier- Dominik Paris is 35. We still have a strong women's team but 3 of the 4 leaders are over 30 (Goggia, Brignone, Curtoni) and Bassino is 28. Another 2 years and we will have the same problem as the men's. There is basically no cross-country skiing without Pellegrino for many years, biathlon is based on 2 individuals with one of them has a 35 years. Vittozzi's injury was enough and we haven`t a single podium this season after 3 stages of the World Cup. As for 1 year to the home games the situation isn`t optimistic.

      Hail to the Reds... Commanders. First time since 1991 Washington QB has thrown 5 TD passes in a game (which isn't all that improbable in the modern game alas Dan Snyder...)

      Italy is much better in alpine skiing, in The end all Nations have a Limited Talent Pool. Norway is far better than Sweden/Finland in Cross-Country skiing, alpine skiing and Biathlon, but Sweden/Finland are far better in ice Hockey.  Great Britain wins far more medals than Germany At Summer olympics, but GB is also inexistant in Winter Sports and Most popular Team Sports (Volleyball, Handball, Basketball, Ich Hockey).

      Thanks, great stat! Tannheimer wont turn 20 until August 2025, so she has The whole Season To Join Kristiansen and Neuner. Too Bad that she was ill this week. I think Galmace Paulin and Tänglander could also do it. I think Grotian (born 2004) is The First female Biathlete born after 1999 To make a World Cup Podium. On The Mens side multiple Athletes (Perrot, Giacomel, Uldal) have already done it.   E. Öberg was 22 and a half when she First won.  Dahlmeier was 21 and a half.   Edit: Grotian only narrowly missed The Podium in The Individual at The 2024 World Championships when she was still  19 year old.
