Venues are expensive, it is what it is. They made the perfect sized stadium for these Worlds with temporary seats in the upper level and it still cost a fortune. 

But love this stadium, without tickets near Hammer throw I could watch  Hammer throw. Love Hungary

Pretty emphatic victory for the Good Virgin Islands :IVB over the Evil Virgin Islands :ISV in the 400m hurdles there.

Let’s play a round of women’s basketball then :bones:

Kerley just said on US TV that s*it happens and he f*cked up but he's healthy and life goes on. 

NBC really did a full-on inquisition with that interview though. I mean…making the guy re-watch the race on a monitor and narrate where it went wrong seems like a step too far to me. Athletes are still people as much as pundits/fans want them to be robots.

 

Bottom line, it isn’t how I conduct interviews.

Maybe try writing something on twitter? Over here it worked during Tokyo OG or Eugene WCh that our lead commentator apologized on air for his mistakes after several twitter users mocked his errors :lol:

Never heard of it :p

Women's long jump: Pretty weak behind Spanovic. Insane that she peaks at such an old age. Mihambo shouldn't lose too much sleep over this. Iapichino was a massive letdown. Luzolo for sure had the chance to finish top 6, but sadly she couldn't even replicate her performance from prelims.

Women's heptathlon: Pretty low level for bronze. Right now Thiam, KJT and Hall look like the clear favorites for the medals next year, but maybe someone else can step up and get to 6700-6800 points. Weißenberg would have won bronze with 6.40 m in the long jump.

Men's hammer throw: Insane that Katzenberg improved by 12 m in 2 years ... i wish Germany would some day find an athlete with such a rate of improvement.

Heike Drechsler was winning gold medals at 36 so it's not that insane - especially that Vuleta still has Paris OG on her mind.

 

Germany had their golden era in the throwing field events - but the overall German athletics has regressed badly once the last athletes who remember the 1990s training programmes retired.

    • The third day of the Challenge Series (Group B) has just finished. Uganda confirmed their great form by winning by 209 runs against Tanzania. Honestly I think Uganda is the big favourite in the tournament, but anything can happen in three years.     In the other match, the most important one for me , Italy dominated against Hong Kong and won by 155 runs. Some batting was very good, on fielding we can still improve. Compared to the last matches with Hong Kong in the past years there has been a frightening improvement for the Azzurri.

    • I would like to make a minor comment on the provisional schedule for @Cinnamon Bun: I just came home from bringing the Brazilian jury to the airport, said jury will be in Sweden during the Grand Final  It makes me wonder if 'local time' should be the local time of the country (Brazil), or the local time of where the jury is in this case (Sweden), to avoid confusion (especially since it's a 1-person jury anyway). 
    • Trump's physical health may still be quite good, indeed. Mental health is a different story, judging by almost all of his speeches where he just gets lost in his own words.   But yeah, exactly what you mention: he can literally commit crimes and try and raise a coup, and his electorate won't care at all. That is of course besides the millions of people who might not really want to vote for a person like Trump, but simply believe with his policies they will have a better chance of paying their groceries, which - sad as it is - is definitely an understandable reason.
