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.

    • People keep keep saying that Trump is Hitler reincarnated, but all these Day 1 proposals are sensible & unifying.   https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=08IIenrXCRQ     NB video is a parody.  
    • In cross-country there were never mixups like that. And trust me, the cross-country calendar/results page has been one of my most visited pages on all the internet for a few years now, for obvious reasons  
    • In cross-country there were never mixups like that. And trust me, the cross-country calendar/results page has been one of my most visited pages on all the internet for a few years now, for obvious reasons  
    • More AI visualizations of the venues.         
    • I can count for you, but what I will say is that I don't think it was a lot. 
    • Off-topic, when I lived in Beijing there was a park across the street that had all the 2022 pictograms along its fence on the street. They were big and lit up at night. It was really cool, especially because the 2022 pictograms were very unique and creative. 
    • They're not very creative or unique to Italy/Milano, but like others have said, at least they're understandable unlike Paris. These are very generic, though. 
    • National law and sport rules are completely different. Like, there's a law in Canada that if you punch someone in the face you will get charged with battery. But if you're playing hockey and do it, you'll only get 5 minutes in a penalty box. Japan only recognizes gender at birth and this was not an issue in 2020(1).    Any law Trump and the Republicans pass can only apply to governmental organizations, i.e. school competitions. Private sport events, like the NHL, MLB and the Olympics, can still decided who can and cannot participate in what events. If the NHL wants a female goaltender to play, they can do that tomorrow if they want. If the IOC decides Semenya can participate in the female category, then that's their right as a private entity. I'm sure Hitler wasn't happy that Jews, black people and other groups were allowed to participate in 1936, either.    Of course, I've been saying for a long time they should do away with "male" and "female" categories and just have "Over/Under X amount of testosterone" categories. 
    • Yeah, if they have all their FTA* live streams on one page, announced in advance, life will be easier. Before you had to sub to about 7 or 8 YT channels to.know what was on every week.   But the results/events Page is also easier, because previously they used to mix up World Cup & say, Balkan Cup events together.
    • UWW's new rules for change of nationality   this doesn't look great for likes of Bahrain, Albania, Bulgaria, Slovakia, Serbia and few more.    still it won't make a huge huge impact for the next Olympic cycle because each NOC still can use 2 mercenaries per style in each tournament but after 2028 it will be reduced to just 1.    some of those countries already have 3 or 4 (or more) Russian mercenaries per style. from now on they have to pick 2 of them for each tournament. I assumed the new rule applies to previous mercenaries too . https://cdn.uww.org/2024-11/change_of_nationality_regulation_eng_oct2024_final.pdf also you can't wrestle for another country without a passport. (UWW allowed that for some years) current non-national wrestlers can continue like that until the end of 2026 though.   it could be better but in general I'm OK with new rules. good job by UWW.
