Olympian1010 7,418 Posted August 24, 2019 #34 Share Posted August 24, 2019 World Record for in one of the shot put events. It was on his third throw and he’s finished at the halfway mark. He seems to think he’ll be the only throwing that far today. I’d say he’s right, so good choice to conserve energy. vinipereira 1 “Sport has the power to change the world.

vinipereira 3,037 Posted August 24, 2019 Author #37 Share Posted August 24, 2019 "Strange" situation at the 5000m T13 event where the brazilian guide couldn't handle the pace, while the athlete himself was in much better shape and probably would have finish better than third At least he won a medal.

Well you’re allowed two guides for a reason. That’s the federations fault “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

That’s the federations fault For sure, and this kind of situation where the guide screw up has happened in the past with brazilian athletes. But I guess it's hard/expensive enough to find so many good guides to avoid this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
