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.

Just now, dcro said:

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.

    • This could be the last ever Paralympics. Come 2028 it might well not be held because the IPC has split in two. That’s one legacy for Andrew Parsons.    He could simply ignore CAS or even withdraw the IPC from them. Unless he is worried about falling from his hotel room window or is being blackmailed. 
    • The Netherlands has decided to cancel its hosting of the 2026 European Paralympic Swimming Championships due to the participation of Russian and Belarusian athletes under their own flags, ad.nl reported on February 25. The Dutch Swimming Federation (KNZB) made this decision after consultations with government ministries, including the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport, which confirmed the withdrawal.
    • An interesting bit from the head of french biathon on the olympic success. Asking if the early gold in the mixed relay was a major factor in the following podiums, he highlighted the last world cup stage (9 podiums over the week) as a great confidence boost just before the Olympics.     https://www.nordicmag.info/jo-2026-biathlon-pour-nordic-magazine-stephane-bouthiaux-tire-le-bilan-des-incroyables-jeux-olympiques-du-biathlon-francais-on-naurait-jamais-pense-ramener-autant-de-medailles-0226/

    • Sounds interesting, I'll check it out 
    • Indians have rediscovered hockey due to recent Olympic and Asian level successes. One of the catalyst was a sports movie called 'Chak De! India' (meaning Go India in Punjabi) which is a underdog movie on the women's team. The movie songs has become an iconic patriotic song to motivate our athletes in sports events and the movie title 'Chak De' has become a slogan in itself.  The movie is available in Netflix France as well - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0871510/
