Coe claimed on german TV that winning a medal in athletics is more difficult than winning a medal in any other olympic sport. What a stupid thing to say ...

what a shock !!!!

 

well, not

 

:p

Yeah, only a fall or injury (or a crash with those golf cars) could have stopped her from winning this, on quality there was no way anyone was going to beat her. Arguably the most predictable gold of the entire championships :d (I forgot the prediction contest, but I assume basically everyone there had the Bol - Little combo :p)

Meanwhile on Eurosport Iwan Thomas is saying he doesn't believe anyone except for Hudson-Smith can be world champion next time. That's quite a thing to say in one of the most open events in athletics :d 

Indeed, grandpa Hudson-Smith obviously doesn't have as much potential as guys like Ingvaldsen or the jamaican guy, not to mention that Gardiner will probably come back.

He only started his season last month due to achilies injury and that was just his 4th race of the year so hardly surprising that he didn't have the speed endurance that he needed to run back to back races at a global championship. Absolutely nothing for him to be ashamed of.

Pathetic performance compared to those of Ingebrigtsen. BBC will hopefully talk nonstop about Burger's embarrassing performance for the next 3 days.

Hope everyone in Asia is excited about their new 400m Hurdles record!  :rolleyes:

Probably about as excited as european fans will be if Hughes breaks the 200 m european record.

    • Looking at last season's 1st World Cup, it's worse for now and it should be the other way around. Bosa out of shape, Trentini weak. Both will drop to a lower group. It's similar to skeleton, i.e. regression instead of progress. I hope this doesn't mean Ghiotto is also in weaker form, because it could end up with 0 podiums this weekend.
    • In general, our picture for a little over 1 year until the home games looks like this:     - the women's sector is still based on one Lollo, who is 3 years older than 2022, - the women's and men's sprint sector is based on one Bosa and possibly the young Pergher (0% possobility for medal in 2026), - Ghiotto has made a lot of progress and that is a big plus. He could result to give our even 3 medals, including 1/2 gold. Our team's performance also depends to a large extent on Ghiotto's form, - the rest of the men's team is basically unchanged. There is Giovannoni in the mass start, there is Malfatti in the longer distances, but they are not competitors on the podium of a major event.   I will repeat myself: if Ghiotto continues to make such progress, we will probably win 3 medals, 2 of which gold and it will be a success. If something doesn`t work out, an injury, illness, etc. (we know from Vitozzi that this can happen to anyone), then it could be very bad. By the way, this also applies to other sports: the above-mentioned Vitozzi in biathlon, Goggia in downhill, Brignone in giant slalom, etc.
    • With the World Cup season in most of the winter sports about to begin and qualification in some sports already underway, I think it's about time for this thread.    Template    ...

    • Today is a day without Italians in the leads positions. I`m worried that they are not trying to revive this our sprint. There is only one Bosa and he is old. Pergher is young but she is also only one. It is a pity. After the Olympics they will probably 100% give up on the entire sprint. Our medal bag in Cortina will depend 90% on Ghiotto, just like it did on Fabris in Turin 2006. If Ghiotto will be in goodshape, he can even win 2 individual golds + a team medal. If not, it will be a flop. Apart from him, only Lollobrigida can compete in the mass start and possibly Giovannini in the men's mass start.
    • Yup, actually they have just some juniors pairs in the dance event 
    • In bed with the flu and few hours of sleep, but at least the insomnia will let me watch the first World Cup stage
