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?

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