It's not just Germany.  I have problems with France & Australia as well. :yes

The British have a lot of hate  and resentment towards foreigners 

I think they hate Australians the most  or at least the loudest as they are safe to hate under very tough UK law as Aussies are mainly white so it's legal 

In my experience  most people have a love hate relationship with England ( as they also do with USA ). They admire the past contribution but dislike  ( not hate ) the English of today 

For instance England is the foundation country of sport as we know it today . But we have to put up with England always trying to run everything   Have you seen those dreadful IAAF  World Athletics Club videos on you tube for example

120 point swing for KJT in the long jump. So she leads by 216 ahead of the javelin.

 

Thiam really needs that 15 meter cushion in the JV and that might not be good enough. 10 meters is 200 pts.

What a stinker by Victor ... :facepalm:

Amazing competition in termes of entertainment, but also really weird to see Mayer and Victor in trouble. Rarely we see such an open decathlon. I hope that Kaul keeps his nerves and somehow gets 4.80 m or at least 4.70 m in pole vault, then he might have a small chance for a medal.

 

Edit: Weird championships for France. Their 2 gold medal favorites Diniz and Mayer didnt/dont perform as expected and on the other hand they got surprising medals in mens hammer throw and mens 110 m hurdles.

I think GB will be the best european nation in the medal table. Poland will probably end this competition with 1 gold. France should get 1 gold at best. Germany could end up with 3 golds or 0. GB already has 1 gold and could end up with 4 or even 5 golds, although 2 or 3 golds seem more likely for them. Surprising to see that GB could win the european medal table here, considering that i expect France and Poland and maybe also Germany to win more golds in Tokyo.

I am not sure you can conclude anything from what Grassmarket said. I am not sure he even is from GB, considering that he writes more comments related to Germany than to GB. Still i have to agree that british people often have their "own mind" and therefore a lot of people in Europe are often irritated by their behavior. You often get the feeling that british people, or at least their politicians, are still stuck in the past and are overestimating the importance of GB in the world. I have never been to GB, but from what i heard there are a lot of beautiful places over there and most people i have spoken to said that the people are very nice and often have a great sense of humor.

      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.

      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.
