Still a lot of opportunities to flop (hurdles, high jump, pole vault).

Yeah I know, I'm trying to jinx him :p

Edit: The previous ranking apparently was wrong (sadly the calculator on the german athletics website seems to use wrong points tables):

Apparently the actual ranking for the best first day in decathlon looks like this:

4743 Warner

4738 O'Brien

4736 O'Brien

4728 Eaton

4722 Warner

 

Don't see Neugebauer getting into the top 5, but maybe he has a shot at getting to 4700 points.

 

When Mayer set his world record he only had 4563 points after day 1, which is only the 69th best first day ever.

How nice of you. Canada already has 2 (extremely surprising) golds, how about you leave something for others ... :mad:

After the Eugene 2022 fiasco, and so many countless years of being at the top, Damian Warner really deserves to win that long-awaited World Championships gold medal. 

 

Was nice to see Rogers & Katzberg complete the double for Canada in hammer throw, but if I had a choice to choose a gold medalist (which I don't) I would easily pick Warner over both Katzberg & Rogers.

Also because a decathlon (or heptathlon) title is a bit more....prestigious, from a global perspective, compared to a niche event like hammer throw (nothing against it personally, but you know) :d

Never understood this "hype" about decathlon, not sure if decathlon is really more prestigious. I never heard anyone say that modern pentathlon or triathlon are more prestigious than swimming/cycling/running/equestrian/fencing/shooting.

What happened to Kazmirek ? Is he now behind Eitel for the 3rd spot?

I personally always enjoy watching Decathlon/heptathlon , they add something extra from a viewing perspective than a normal field event. 
The joy of always calculating points after each event is unmatched!

Jamaica's Andrew Hudson has been given a discretionary place in the 200m final tonight after a buggy collision left him with shards of glass in his eye 💥

Kazmirek had a difficult year with an injury, and Eitel a pretty good one. So yes, Eitel is currently better than Kazmirek.

    • I thought the only continental quotas applied in track cycling was for the individual events - the team events were purely based on the rankings list
    • keeps its perfect qualification record in women's curling    definitively gave them a lot of gifts today. For their sake hopefully they can draw better against the  tomorow.
    • Obviously impossible to know in advance but in 2022 all ten skaters Canada qualfiied skated individually, and 9/10 competed in a relay as well.
    • 4-3  over  at the break, Norway with hammer.
    • whatever you heard is just speculation. no one knows at the moment, probably even the orange himself.   and Iranian athletes failed to get visa so many times before. even female athletes. there is no pattern, it's just too random.    and yes Iran has a system of compulsory military service for men, and there is 50% chance for anybody to be randomly drafted by IRGC affiliated organizations. that's the case for Taremi and few others in the current team.  
    • Would you believe the NCAA Indoor season has already started?      
    • Some changes that I've noticed:   3x3 Basketball: With the expanded 12 team field, one extra team per gender qualifies through world rankings, one extra team qualifies through the universality driven tournament and there's now an Olympic Qualifier series to award the final quotas.   Beach Volleyball: Continental qualifiers have have priority over the World championship and World Rankings quotas and there's now Olympic Qualifier Series quotas.   Canoe Sprint: World ranking system now in place and will be used instead of awarding world championship quotas. Road Cycling: 2 nations ranking quotas per gender moved to universality.   Track Cycling: Sprint and Keirin ranking list is now combined and will award 14 quotas per gender. Previously it was 7+7. Team pursuit down to 8 quotas from 10. 2 of the quotas have been moved to madison (one additional team) and 6 to the omnium.   Fencing: Can get a Continental quota of you finished in the top 24 of the rankings. It was previously top 16.    Hockey: 2 pro league quotas replace two qualification tournament quotas.   Judo: 5 less universality places and 4 more Continental places. For men, there's two more spots for Asia, one less for Oceania and 1 more for the Americas. For the women, there's one more spot for Europe, one less for Oceania and two more for Asia.   Modern Pentathlon: Less quotas awarded through world rankings as a result of quota cuts.   Open Water Swimming: Introduction of world ranking qualifier.   Sailing: In general, seems to be more quotas awarded at the last chance regatta and less quotas at the World Championships   Shooting: One less quota handed out at each World Championship and the return on World Cup qualifiers.   Swimming: Olympic qualification and consideration times renamed to A and B standard. B standard is now 1% slower than the A standard compared to 0.5% in 2024. Stroke 50s have their own direct qualification events and have minimum time standards instead of A and B standards. Qualification times have been nuked again. B standard selection process has also changed.   Volleyball: New revised format. Continental championships first, then world championships followed by world rankings. In 2024, it was 3 qualification tournaments and then world rankings. Only 3 countries per gender will qualify by world rankings now compared to 5 in 2024
