Enjoy :yes

high jump is my fav event. I have been waiting for this day whole season. And here you can move freely around almost all of the stands so i leave my 100m start line spot today. Ha! What a week this is! I knew watching athletics WCH live will be great but this whole thing is far beyond expectations for me 😉

From all the medalists here Alina Rotaru :ROU was definitely the one who was celebrating her medal in the most expressive and funny way. She made quite a show on the podium ceremony here! I think i have just become a big fan of her! 😉

Budapest are doing a good job, and to be fair, with some technical issues, World Athletics are doing a pretty nice job. Scheduling is clever; the end of fastest loser is proving gamechanging in terms of heats, which are becoming true run races - but also including more fallers, so jeopardy increases - bad for athletes, but excellent for fans; couple of fabulous narratives in the first few days - the women's hundred was simply amazing from heats onwards, the redemption of KJT and Rhasidat continuing her breakthrough. Tonights 1500 will be lit - 5 into three won't go.

I still can't accept Xs in triple jump. In triple jump, the result is the 3rd mark after the line. If the first mark is 1-2 centis after the line, the result should be about 11meters instead of 18m simply, not an X

I believe the jumper would have to make it into the sand pit for the jump to count.

    • I think that It's a similar situation with Braahten in Norway but there are some differences:     - he's an adult, - his mother is Brazilian, - Norway has a lot of talent in technical events (although of course it's always better to have 1 more than 1 less).
    • Looks like the gate malfunctioned and Eriksen Sundal was literally pushed by the ad board    
    • Well, we lived through Caroline Wozniacki representing Denmark and there was some talk if she could switch to Poland early on but she said no since she lived her entire life in Denmark anyway. But she was very popular here. On the other side Angelique Kerber who also has Polish ancestry actually lived in Poland on her grandfather's estate (which was a tennis academy). In the last few years except Eugenia Bujak (cycling) switching to Slovenia due to a conflict with the federation we don't really have such cases. I can understand many Italians have their opinion on Colturi & her mother alas it's boosted by the lack of other top end prospects in your skiing now (and some other winter sports). I'm surprised Italian journalists haven't figured out what's behind Colturi's switch already because it has to be money or "personal differences" either way.
    • Or is Girardelli respected in Austria these days...
    • We must ask our Austrian users if they cheered for Girardelii. But do we have any Austrian users LOL?
    • It's just that Austria had a lot of skiers in that time and we don't have any others among the young ones now.
    • Marco Girardelli went to Luxembourg one day and he had a great career. I doubt he did regret that move.

    • You know, but we still don't know what that was about. Ceccarelli has a difficult character but still changing colors to a country with which you have absolute no connetions? What would you say if Iga Swiatek fell out with the Polish tennis federation and started playing for Luxembourg or Andorra? Certainly not everyone would decide to take such a step, even if they had to give in a little in talks with the federation.    Another thing is that the Italian training system simply doesn`t work. As you can see, there are talents but we don`t know how to train them. Since the golden generation born in 1990-1995 (Brignone, Bassino, Goggia) we haven`t trained anyone who would stand on the podium in giant slalom or slalom in World Cup. So something is wrong. At the beginning of the 21st century we had a large group of good athletes in giant slalom (maybe not at Brignone's level): Karbon, Moelgg, Putzer, Gius, etc., who were able to win World Cups, win World Championship medals, etc. Now we have no one. In women's giant slalom for example: if Brignone and Bassino are gone, even getting to the first 20 in World Cup will be a problem for us.
    • I remember that Lara Gut's family also had a conflict with the Swiss federation at the beginning of her career around 2008/2009 but it was resolved. I remember that the family also wanted to have a greater influence on their daughter's career. It was probably similar here. If there was a will from both sides, an agreement should have been reached. Especially since Colturi has zero ties with Albania. Sinner could have played for Austria sooner, as a person from South Tyrol.
