yeah, with Klosterhalfen right behind her (and she too, below the old ER by Gabi Szabo)...

 

ah, those Salazar magics! :whistle::coffee:

 

It's not like Klosterhalfen ran 8:29 already 2 years ago as a 20 year old ...

It's amazing how much this dude has progressed, he wasn't particularly great before Rio, now he's throwing top ten all-time distances.

 

Brazil athletics in general has gotten crazy good these last two years.

Agree, completely ridiculous. As far as i know his PB wasn't even 21 m+ before Rio and then he suddenly improved by more than 1.5 m in 3 years in his mid 20s. I don't really see how brazilian athletics got crazy good? In 2016 they had Braz da Silva and Murer as medal contenders, now those 2 are gone and they only have Romani as medal contender (+ maybe a small outside chance in women's triple jump).

2015: 20.90 m at the age of 24

2016: 21.02 m at the age of 25

2017: 21.82 at the age of 26

2018: 22.00 at the age of 27

2019: 22.61 at the age of 28

They also have a pretty good 4×100 I think.

 

I meant "crazy good" more on a pan american level (given the proximity of the games) rather than olympic/world medal level.

Well, Romani did something extraordinary. Every 22.00+ result is fantastic, not to mention 22.50. How he improved to this level is another question, i hope that PS didnt have anything with that.

I see some great results in shot put, Nigerian is also close to 22.00m.

Yeah, their relay is pretty good, but a medal would be a major surprise. Even if the US drops the baton as usual, Japan + GB are clearly better individually and Canada + Jamaica + China + Turkey + South Africa + France + Netherlands are all on at least the same level individually (in my opinion), so i think even making the final would be quite a success for Brazil.

      2 things...   first, for what concerns the cooperation between inline skating and speedskating federations...sorry to disppoint some of you, but there's a great cooperation between them   the point is that many "summer" skaters just don't want to try the ice because they have too much to give up for that   you name places like Collalbo or Baselga, but for the "summer skating" guys from centeral and southern regions it's not an option, it's not that they make it for a living with those disciplines, they have to focus on their studies and build a post-competitive sport career and they just can't place themselves into a hole in the mountains when they maybe are studying in some prestigious universities in the big cities   as I already posted more than once, the idea of covering one of those tracks in the mountains was something idiotic, a political concession impossible to be sustained   the one and only chance to build a true legacy and an efficient, attractive national training center was to build a permanent indoor oval in Milan, beside the Forum   that would have given all the "summer skaters" a true opportunity to try the ice experience and at the same time find the most useful, attractive, prestigious places to continue their studies and try and manage them together with their sports career   any other place wouldn't stand a chance   second...don't give Salvini any credit he doesn't deserve...actually, I think he doesn't even know that in Cortina there's a sliding sports track    it's not thanks to him that the Cortina track's building finally went underway
