We are watching the Super Diamond Golden League Mega Final.

 

Do you remember when the athletes used to get huge bars of chocolate wrapped in gold as a prize?

I'm reminded every time I watch the shot put.

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!

Recently while watching the Vuelta a España I learned the German word for this is apparently 'Vokuhila', from vorne kurz, hinten lang ("short in the front, long in the back") :d (Former pro Karsten Kroon tells interesting and totally unrelated stories during the stages :p ) One of my new favourite German words

Really? Here in Denmark we call it "Svensker garn" which translated means "Swedish haircut". I have no idea why? :p

I hate that pretty much the only Beninese world class athlete is 'just' a pace runner :mad:

Great diamond league finals for Cuba, they won 3 events (men's long jump, men's 110 m hurdles, women's discus throw)! I just wonder what happened to them in men's triple jump ... ?

My personal highlight was the guy in men's 1500 m with the patch on his nose (i assume he was the pacemaker?) who just went for it and almost made the top 5, great effort!

Also at this point i probably wouldn't bet anything on american women winning more than 2 individual golds (and 3 golds in total) in Doha.

Klosterhalfen should definitely race the 5000 m in Doha, but i fear this result will mean that she will instead race the 1500 m. In the 1500 m there are tons of girls who can beat her, but in the 5000 m i would only favor Hassan over her, assuming that neither Obiri nor Ayana will get back into shape until then.

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

Here it's called a 'matje', which is the smaller version of 'mat'. Mat is pretty much this, which I think is the same in English but I'm not sure, hence the picture.

    • I remember that in 2017 i do a medal table excluding all the athletes from the big four ( ) and Mongolia won (14 gold, 2nd Taipei with 7). I'm curious to see if this will change.
    • 3 NOCs won their first medal: (in an Olympic event!), and    
    • I have been told these are the 34 NOC's who attended the Chefs de mission meeting recently (doesn't mean these are the final 34 scheduled to compete)    (did not compete in 2017)   (did not compete in 2017)     (debut, curious to see what they will compete in) (debut)         (have only competed in hockey before, but will be in a new sport this time) (debut)        11 NOC's not present:     (the most surprising as they have an active skier atm)          
    • The CANCER  is attacking Lebanon     
    • Copa Libertadores, Copa Sul-americana ans Brazilian footbal league - Football   Nascar Cup playoffs   Thats all I think.
    • Really relaxed week (at least for me), off the top of my head I’ll only be watching the Bills-Jaguars game in NFL, WTT China Smash, Athlos in athletics, the GSOC Hearing Life Tour Challenge and maybe some Canucks pre-season games.    No ATP/WTA tennis. 
    • Wait they are hosting a Skater XL event as their esport thingy? looooooooooool, that's hillarious.
    • After 3 months UEFA have finally acknowledged, that there was a huge mistake in the Germany - Spain match and the Cucurella handball should have been a penalty  Well la di da, that was evident for everyone and their blind dog, except for one fraud named Anthony Taylor and his helpers. Give that man more awards.
