She's a tiny 1,55m though, maybe it's that thepharoah and Josh 2 If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

NearPup 2,218 Posted August 26, 2023 #1594 Share Posted August 26, 2023 Seb Coe had an interview where he made two very interesting comments. The first is that he wants world championships on every non-Olympic year. The second is that less popular events are in real risk of being dropped from the program. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/entertainment/music/seb-coe-it-will-take-more-than-money-to-take-world-championships-to-saudi-arabia/ar-AA1fMmut Josh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griff88 1,737 Posted August 26, 2023 #1595 Share Posted August 26, 2023 (edited) Now that Kitaguchi winning the women's javelin, all the major TV stations throwing different fun facts about her such as eating a slice of castella cake every day, the meaning of her butterfly shaped earrings, how she always say "my target is to win a medal" to any journalist asking her, and what are some of the training she received when she was preparing in Edited August 26, 2023 by Griff88 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Federer91 2,158 Posted August 26, 2023 #1596 Share Posted August 26, 2023 So they are going to run countless back and forts on a straight for the marathon like hamsters. Because closing 5 more streets and going a bit around the city will be such a big problem. Completely destroyed any ambition i had to continue watching this.

He has also aired the possibility of incorporating the marathon World Championships with a lucrative big city marathon. That sounds awful Like any big city marathon wants to be turned into a slow championship race.... And again this insanely stupid idea of 'if we take away certain events, we will attract a wider audience'. No, you absolute fuckwit, people who don't like athletics will not suddenly start liking athletics if there's no hammer throw and 5k anymore. That will just be half an hour less of athletics for them not to watch. Just like people who didn't like the 50k race walk are not suddenly now watching the 35k race walk. It's just 15km less race walking that they don't watch.

Besides, getting rid of the hammer throw would be a hate crime against Canadians. maestro, PHI2019, Topicmaster1010 and 4 others 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For even years, instead of a WC, why not bring back the Intercalated Games or the Goodwill Games at the least? 3 hours ago, NearPup said: The second is that less popular events are in real risk of being dropped from the program. Well, the standing jumps, Greek stlyle discus throw and freestyle javelin came and went and the sport has managed to stay relevant. So I guess eliminating a few less popular events now won't matter.
