Athletics IAAF World Championships 2019


Recommended Posts

Really nice to see that many russian athletes are back to their old ways now that the heat is more on other nations like Keyna. Shkurenyov is better than ever.

Possible ofc. But as I said, I didn't get that impression for other throws. And: The lines which are put on the grass are surely international standardized and they are not really a matter of local organizers or the laser technique. Whatever, we'll never know. It was just suspicious, even considering she had improved by more than half a meter with that throw. That's nothing against KJT (or the British in general, if you might think that - as you got something against the German as you said ;-) ), she is a great athlete and deserves any medal.

 

 

Errmmm, they are painted on by a bloke walking behind a machine, it's not NASA!

Orji doesn't look like a triple jumper at all, really impressive that she is still able to compete.

Errm no. Maybe in tennis or soccer. In athletics, these lines are made from plastics and are simply put on the field. Saw that a dozen times live on several stadiums.

Sadly some of the usual suspects are missing (Gierisch, Diame, the greek girl, the girl from Israel). Does anyone know what happened to the girl from Greece and the girl from Israel?

:GREPapachristou is injured and :ISRKnyazeva suffered a stress fracture during national champs in mid-September. She's actually in Doha as a spectator.

    • Disappointing end of the race, wanted to see history this year 
    • A lot of sports have been ruined with rule changes, modern pentathlon has actually better with these rules I think. I would never watch something span over 2 days. Short and quick finals is what most audience want.   Obviously can be optimised further, but this is definitely an excellent job and that's how a sport should be.
    • World Cup 1     Cairo, April 7-12       Women: Gold: Blanka Guzi - 1,488 pts (New World Record) Silver: Anastasiya Malashenoka  Bronze: Viyaleta Hureyeva    Men: Gold: Moutaz Mohamed  - 1,608 pts (New World Record) Silver: Mathis Rochat  Bronze: Mihaly Koleszar 
    • Felt the athletes didn't give it their all in swimming, it was slow
    • China was not at the Olympics. You played Japan.   Taking any conculsions after 1 match is too early and premature. Norway is definitely by any mean not a punching bag, They are a team relegated from the Top division. Nobody is going to blown them. In the opposite China yes, they were piss poor today, totally harmless, this is not China from the pre and Beijing era, any naturalized player is not in the team anymore, only local girls who had issues even with normal skating and puck control, Was quite embarassing to watch this, but kudos to China they decided to go this harder way and reform their team with local players.   Italy is still the number one favorite for promotion, 3 points against Norway are the first and very important step. Your main games will still be Hungary and France as scripted.
    • Italy today beat Norway only 2-1 (and also was a draw in the all shots stats: 28- 26). It doesn't look good for us– our form has probably arrived in February, not now. In my opinion, Slovakia will be the favorite tomorrow – they won 7-0 against China today – and they'll probably were a peak of the form. Personally, I wasn't expecting Italy to advance and I think I was right – it's good that the minimum goal – no relegation – is almost certain. Certainly, today wasn't the same form as in February at the Olympics in the matches against France and China.
    • looking at the video and knowing Australia, I think the wind reading was wrong, it was surely a lot more windy than +1.7, but we all know that sometimes these things happen (you're so young, I don't know what you know about the 1988 Olympic Trials in Indianapolis and Florence Griffith Joyner records -still standing )
    • I call bullshit on the performances from this race    20.01 to 19.67 would be one thing, we all know how good Gout Gout has been hyped up to be, even though it feels like ridiculously impossible with how steep of an improvement it is… but almost everyone from the race has had ridiculous PB’s, I mean Murphy who’s a 20.41 guy at best is now 19.88. McHugh broke 21 seconds for the first time a month ago, and now he’s going 20.23.   Either an extremely fast track, wrong timing, favourable headwind, not sure what it is. 
    • This also kind of showed, like last year, the biggest flaw of Pogacar: technique and bike control. The way he was wrestling himself through curve after curve where natural talents like Van Aert and Van der Poel (cyclocross greats, no coincidence) were flying through.
