Athletics WA World Championships 2023


Recommended Posts

Yesterday we saw the 36 year old European men's 400 m record go. I think we're also going to see the even older 44 year old men's 200 m record go this week.

BBC coverage keep banging the drum about how this is the most sustainable world championships ever and how the BBC is playing its part in supporting its green agenda - sadly it all rings a bit hollow given they have just flown a new presenter in from Australia. Not exactly burnishing their green credentials :lol:

I'm assuming lip service to 'sustainability' is a condition of the broadcast contract because it's one of Budapest and World Athletics big 'messages'. Beeb would be happy soldiers on this, it fits their self image too, but it all seems a bit tedious - not least as nothing but the abolition of international sport (and most other post industrial activity) is ever going to please the hardcore activists. If you're a sports administrator, understand, they aren't your friends - they hate your sponsors, they hate your building work on venues, they hate the international travel your athletes, coaches admins and fans do, and they aren't much fussed on sport in any event. You can't placate them, and their mates will try and disrupt your events every chance they get.

 

Environmental awareness is a good thing, I just hate performativity.

    • It's hard to believe it was still in this calendar year      
    • In last year, we were were happy with Brignone's wins, and today we're excite that della Mea is in the top 10... It's hard to imagine a bigger fall... And Goggia should give up on the giant slalom and focus on the speed events – Vonn isn't wasting time on the giant slalom, but is training for downhill and SG. Goggia last one finished on the podium in the giant slalom in march 2018, and she has no any chance of winning an Olympic medal at the regular competition. It's a waste of time and energy to finish 8th or 9th and risk injury. And we have to accept that without Brignone, we have no chance of winning a medal in the giant slalom in Cortina, and that's it.
    • yeah, just like Anna Trocker earlier Today   I think this is the best way to blow them    they're not ready for the world cup stage yet, but we're so bad right now that our coaches are digging deep
    • Some surprises and fun results so far at this year's Worlds. Like a few minutes ago, when  Harrysson made the 1/8 with another very good performance. Now he plays Jonny Clayton, who this afternoon made a stellar performance in a tough battle with Zonneveld. I don't see an easy match for Clayton, even though on paper he would have wished such an opponent for a 1/8 before the tournament.   Also i'm delighted that my fav Gary Anderson seems to be in good form, though at his age, he is prone to sudden bad matches at any time.
