Norway is everywhere in long/middle distance , with good results they compete Africans , very strange as they trained in cold and they run now under 38° ,

i hope they will test them correctly 

 

I agree, very weird development by them. Then again we know the methods they are using in cross country skiing, so it shouldnt be too surprising that they became that good in running recently.

You are forgetting that the crowds for athletics in Rio were terrible. 

No, i remember very well, i still think that the attendance was better and if they would have handed out free tickets, the attendance probably would have been even better.

It just doesnt make much sense in my opinion to give the competition to some country with a population of a city in order to make the sport more global, when you could give the competition to much bigger countries where you could actually inspire a significant amount of people. There is a lot of untapped potential in Vietnam/Philippines/Indonesia/Turkey/Brazil/South Africa, in Qatar not so much.

    • The story of  boxer Dmitrijs Avsijenkovs and his incredible 100%, 29 fight knockout record.    Unfortunately.....   Boxer who was knocked out 29 times in 29 fights finally gave up on his disastrous career
    • apparently our NOC rejected the winter sport federation request to send a bigger delegation.   they published a list of just 14 athletes. 8 in CC skiing, 2 in Alpine and 4 in SkiMo. equal number of male and female athletes in each sport.
    • Yeah, I'm not entirely opposed of different host cities, but 24 hours of sports is not a good idea. Keep it to the 16-18 hour days.
