heywoodu 13,575 Posted August 22, 2023 #985 Share Posted August 22, 2023 The fuck is wrong with the World Athletics website being down every single time after the session? https://worldathletics.org/competitions/world-athletics-championships/budapest23/timetable maestro, thepharoah and Josh 1 2 If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

So at least they have some medal for the photos and stuff, and in the excitement, instead of that nonsense with a medal ceremony the next day, with athletes getting their medals when all of the adrenaline and excitement is basically long gone. It's World Athletics saying "we know medal ceremonies really should be shortly after the event, for sure in the same day, but we're not going to do that anyway, so shut up" Josh 1 If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

OlympicsFan 783 Posted August 22, 2023 #987 Share Posted August 22, 2023 Japan is looking very dangerous in men's 4 x 400 m relay. They should win a medal. Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcro 10,189 Posted August 22, 2023 #988 Share Posted August 22, 2023 (edited) I like that there are no ceremonies stopping the program. IMO, medal ceremonies should only exist at the Olympics and Paralympics (and other rare events like the FIFA World Cup and such). Medal ceremonies come from when sports were held exceptionally. Now everything in sports is over-saturated and the medal ceremonies are simply a waste of good time (in large majority of cases). Just hand out the medals spontaneously right at the conclusion of the event (not the tin ones, the real ones). No need for an anthem. And definitely no need to play Gaudemaus 500 times at the Universiade. Edited August 22, 2023 by dcro Olympian1010 and Josh 2 #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Baumgartl stumbles over the last barrier and hits the deck, gets up to his feet and finishes third. (He was in second place at the time.)
