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.

    • Disappointing end of the race, wanted to see history this year 
    • A lot of sports have been ruined with rule changes, modern pentathlon has actually better with these rules I think. I would never watch something span over 2 days. Short and quick finals is what most audience want.   Obviously can be optimised further, but this is definitely an excellent job and that's how a sport should be.
    • World Cup 1     Cairo, April 7-12       Women: Gold: Blanka Guzi - 1,488 pts (New World Record) Silver: Anastasiya Malashenoka  Bronze: Viyaleta Hureyeva    Men: Gold: Moutaz Mohamed  - 1,608 pts (New World Record) Silver: Mathis Rochat  Bronze: Mihaly Koleszar 
    • Felt the athletes didn't give it their all in swimming, it was slow
    • China was not at the Olympics. You played Japan.   Taking any conculsions after 1 match is too early and premature. Norway is definitely by any mean not a punching bag, They are a team relegated from the Top division. Nobody is going to blown them. In the opposite China yes, they were piss poor today, totally harmless, this is not China from the pre and Beijing era, any naturalized player is not in the team anymore, only local girls who had issues even with normal skating and puck control, Was quite embarassing to watch this, but kudos to China they decided to go this harder way and reform their team with local players.   Italy is still the number one favorite for promotion, 3 points against Norway are the first and very important step. Your main games will still be Hungary and France as scripted.
    • Italy today beat Norway only 2-1 (and also was a draw in the all shots stats: 28- 26). It doesn't look good for us– our form has probably arrived in February, not now. In my opinion, Slovakia will be the favorite tomorrow – they won 7-0 against China today – and they'll probably were a peak of the form. Personally, I wasn't expecting Italy to advance and I think I was right – it's good that the minimum goal – no relegation – is almost certain. Certainly, today wasn't the same form as in February at the Olympics in the matches against France and China.
    • looking at the video and knowing Australia, I think the wind reading was wrong, it was surely a lot more windy than +1.7, but we all know that sometimes these things happen (you're so young, I don't know what you know about the 1988 Olympic Trials in Indianapolis and Florence Griffith Joyner records -still standing )
    • I call bullshit on the performances from this race    20.01 to 19.67 would be one thing, we all know how good Gout Gout has been hyped up to be, even though it feels like ridiculously impossible with how steep of an improvement it is… but almost everyone from the race has had ridiculous PB’s, I mean Murphy who’s a 20.41 guy at best is now 19.88. McHugh broke 21 seconds for the first time a month ago, and now he’s going 20.23.   Either an extremely fast track, wrong timing, favourable headwind, not sure what it is. 
    • This also kind of showed, like last year, the biggest flaw of Pogacar: technique and bike control. The way he was wrestling himself through curve after curve where natural talents like Van Aert and Van der Poel (cyclocross greats, no coincidence) were flying through.
