Kaczmarek time  

After this performance I'm starting to believe she can beat Szewinska's NR after all - which is the second oldest NR in Polish athletics (women's shot put is one month older).

Apparently the UK Eurosport commentators had some brilliant argumentation for not disqualifying Warholm: "He can go much faster than this in the final, so he should not be DQ'ed."

 

Uhm..huh?

I feel like many here *vastly* over estimate their countries chances before the games/events, so when they don’t reach those unrealistic projections, it feels like a disappointment to the posters

Either vastly overestimates or, or is like 'nah we have no chance anywhere'. Failing to see that having 20 different athletes with a 20% medal chance (so each one of them not being a massive medal favourite by itself) is very likely going to result in medals

From that article, it doesn't seem that german anti-doping is swimming in cash. And for reference french anti doping agency has a budget of 11.2 M€ vs 12 M€ (apparently) for its german counterpart which must be about an average Bundesliga 3 team budget or something...

 

 

1) So you name one country and that country doesn't even have a higher budget?

2) Even if the german NADA would be bankrupt, it wouldn't mean anything. They could be bankrupt while getting 100 million euros a year if they wouldn't know how to manage their money. The amount of funding is one thing and the way they spend their money is another thing. Apart from that everyone (at least in Germany) always cries that they don't get enough money (german sports also constantly complain that they don't have enough money, when in reality they get more and more money every olympiad). I guess that is the best strategy to get what you need, but the fact that the amount of money the german state is spending has exploded, doesn't really fit with the narrative that everyone is always underfunded.

Germany has a much larger population than France and one might assume much more athletes to monitor. But the French and German budgets are apparantly comparable.

No morning session today, but there is the media 800m this morning. For those who don’t know, both FINA and World Athletics hold a media race during their world championships.

imagine that, there literally no wind tonight in Budapest. Terrible condition to send a discus

Not that practice matters but they say Ståhl threw 73.65 in practice on pre-camp in good winds. I guess this winning Throw, in good winds would have been at least that long! And of course 4  throwers could have been over 70 in windy conditions
