In the bizarre world of argentine athletics....

 

Today the newly crowned national champion of the men's 100m sprint with 10.60 is... a member of the rugby sevens national team :facepalm:

 

To make it worse he's an 18 year old boy and he won the senior national championship lol

Technically an 18 year old is an adult in most countries. I’d be more concerned about the time he won it in myself. You guys are going to be competing with Brunei Darussalam at that pace.

London marathon is about to start, with Eliud Kipchoge and - among others - 'Sir Mo'. Yes, that's what's on his bib. Ugh, ugh and another ugh.

And where is Mo?

"Sir Mo" is heading for a European record,

Maybe after that he becomes Lord Mo or Duke Mo or even Prince Mo....:lol:

He's slowing down - may not break the record.

Eliud Kipchoge wins the men's race with a sensational performance.

The final 3000m was just cruel to the other leaders.

    • And the article points out that they're apparently going to move from East to West to minimize travel as the tournament progresses.
    • It would have been nice to keep things closer like Portland or Seattle, but I guess if you already have to take a multi-hour flight you might as well go for bigger places.
    • ROWING COASTAL   There will be individual and mixed qualifying competitions. Those who qualify in the mixed competition will also be able to participate in the individual competition, and if a country qualifies a man and a woman in the individual competition, they will also be able to participate in the mixed competition.  
    • and just a reminder of  flag bearers at the WOG since the independence in 1993   Lillehammer 1994: Peter Šťastný (Ice Hockey) Mr. GOAT     Nagano 1998: Ivan Bátory (Cross-Country Skiing)   Salt Lake City 2002: Róbert Petrovický (Ice Hockey)   Torino 2006: Walter Marx Jr. (Luge)   Vancouver 2010: Žigmund Pálffy (Ice Hockey) Ronaldinho on ice   Sochii 2014: Zdeno Chára (Ice Hockey) Another Zeus of our sport   PyeongChang 2018: Veronika Velez-Zuzulová (Alpine Skiing)   Beijing 2022: Katarína Šimoňáková (Luge) & Marek Hrivík (Ice Hockey).
    • and they are on   Tomáš Tatar (Ice Hockey) & Viktória Čerňanská (Bobsleigh)    
    • Honestly, I don't really like these team sports that only have 6 teams. I understand there's a limit on the number of athletes, but it should be at least 8 per gender.     
    • Every year they are incredibly slow to announce the Brazilian flag bearers, Paris 2024 was also slow. 
    • To be fair, I think most people don't even know there's an Olympic flag.
