Mat is pretty much this, which I think is the same in English but I'm not sure, hence the picture. Yes that is a mat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlympicsFan 858 Posted September 6, 2019 #262 Share Posted September 6, 2019 The dominance of the 3 guys really was bad for the women's 800 m, before those 3 started to dominate we had girls like Jozwik or Bishop who were much better than everyone we have now except for Wilson (but she was caught before, so everyone should cheer against her). Those girls got really unlucky, if they would have been born a couple years later, then they could have won an olympic gold next year.

heywoodu 14,901 Posted September 6, 2019 #263 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Wait what, triple jump is being kicked out of the Diamond League too? Can someone kick the IAAF in the balls? 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!

OlympicsFan 858 Posted September 6, 2019 #264 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Was Lyle the guy who was caught and then was still allowed to compete or was it someone else? Also nice job by USADA once again, 50 % of their athletes in the men's 4 x 100 m relay will be known cheaters, i hope they drop the baton in Doha once again.

Christian Coleman missed three random tests, got off on some very complicated technicality, so not as completely clear as Gatlin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going from one venue to the next, like the Olympic Torch Relay. Obviously nobody wants to do the Shanghai-Oslo leg.
