Athletics WA World Championships 2023

First three Dutch runners with a fantastic run, but Jiya was away way too early. She nearly left at the starting gun shot

And the slow motion of Richardson's face during her race is one of my highlights of the championships, pure art

We learned today that the leaders of the French athletics federation will be summoned to the  Ministry of Sports to explain the poor results of French athletes... ... But as usual nothing will change 

What's that thing with countries having a mediocre event and the ministry of all things comes in and demands and explanation?  

 

That sounds so....North Korea-esque  

 

What are the leaders of the athletics federation going to say? "They didn't jump high enough and didn't run fast enough"?

Protest was rejected. so all this for nothing

well, it is what our commentator just said. No idea where it come from, but is still listed as finalist, so who knows ? maybe he just got the countries wrong and meant someone else

No idea, probably just a mistake.

 

It was shortly before the end of the broadcast while he was recapitulating the session, he said something like "from the medias service we got a news that the Indian relay was disqualified, they send a protest which was rejected..." and then just quickly continued with something else around shot put final... He speak so fast sometimes, that it is hard to catch everything he say sometimes I guess, he just by mistake said India instead of another country, since there were a couple of DSQ relays tonight..

 

So until there nothing in the live results, you do not have to be worried
