Athletics WA World Championships 2023


Recommended Posts

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.

    • Here, the Masters is on national TV.  Are major golf tourneys in the USA shown in other places?   (I work at a private school that's just about an 80-minute drive from Augusta.  Many of my students are able to go watch the tournament in person.  I've never paid attention to golf until this year...it's a beautiful course!)
    • Even Sauron would be better than Salvini

    • Orban had one big plus- he built modern football stadiums in Hun and several modern swimming pools in Budapest. Maybe we should hire him as our sports minister and infrastructure
    • Btw. I once read that Denmark has the best democracy in the world - in the sense that it has the most equal system, unlike, for example, North Korea or Eritrea on the other side of the political ocean.
    • This is Tisza's only chance, because without a constitutional majority, Orbán would return for several years. Hopefully, Tisza wins that majority.
    • Seems like a supermajority for Magyar
    • so, one of the most boring world cup stages ever has ended    if it wasn't for  and , winning 1 gold medal each, a  sweep would have come true, as they won all the remaining 8 gold medals (and a bunch of silver and bronze, too)    while some sports are brcoming more and more global, it looks that (rifle and pistol) shooting is going the other way round, it's becoming less and less global, with just 1 or 2 dominating Countries and a few others filling the (minor) gaps here and there, with always less Nations capable to win medals (only 12, out of 10 competitions) and even make the final    now the Rifle and Pistol world cup takes a break to allow most Continental championships to take place between the end of April and May.   It will be back in  Munich in the last week of May.   In the meantime, the Shotgun specialists will be on stage from May 2nd through May, 11th in  Almaty.
    • Orban is finished. I hope Meloni doesn't do him asylum in Italy
