What's happening to him? Exhaustion? mental health issues? He's regressed and literally on trajectory to retire before he's even 23 lol.....

People underestimate just how much work the NCAA is.  Pretty common to see people putting up big numbers in May but fading by the middle of the Euro season.

pretty much a disaster for :ITA so far

 

from bad (the 100m boys) to worse (the 400m girls)

 

only man to be saved, Kareem Mersal in the LJ competition (qualified to the final in 3rd place)

and with another flop (Benati...he was running 46 secs dead as a under-18, he's still there...he hasn't improved in all of his junior and post-junior years :facepalm:) I'm done with this thing...

 

back on Sunday for Larissa, the rest isn't worth the waste of time :pope:

Keršulis delivered a final, but not in a convincing fashion at all.

 

He ran sub 46 indoors, expected him to run comfortable 45.50s in summer.

I don't think there was that much to do this year, to be honest.

 

I remember seasons where everybody had to start every single weekend. Mykolas only threw in like three competitions before heading back to Lithuania.

 

If there is anyone that could complain this year, it would be the heptathletes: Enok, Juškevičiūtė (LTU), Blaževica, Bačianskaitė (LTU) and all four of them are looking fine. Juškevičiūtė and Bačianskaitė will start in the Lithuanian championships in two weeks, but they've been looking well in their recent starts.

Rare medal for :GBR in the Shot - Serena Vincent Silver after two PBs 16.93 final.  :cheer:

Perhaps a case of overtraining a young talent, or perhaps he just reached his limits.

 

Every country has a huge amount of young prospects, which for one reason or another don't reach the heights that we learn to expect from them. 

 

Yes, you can be happy for talented u18 athletes, but expecting them to dominate juniors and seniors is pretty much gambling, because we don't know what's going on in their lives and bodies to make conclusions on why something isn't working.

None of :GBR NCAA field eventers have made out of the Qs today, all way down on PB/SB.  :mumble:

Drama in the Women’s 5000m as :GBR Eloise Walker falls to pieces In the last 200m - heading for silver, legs went, overtaken, collapsed & got up again to finish fifth.  :cry:  Heroic effort.

Great battle between :FIN Vanninen and :NED Dokter in the heptathlon. Both can still take the win today! Vanninen used to be the strongest in this age group, but Dokter has really caught up and is working on a great heptathlon with 2 PBs already yesterday.

    • 4-3  over  at the break, Norway with hammer.
    • whatever you heard is just speculation. no one knows at the moment, probably even the orange himself.   and Iranian athletes failed to get visa so many times before. even female athletes. there is no pattern, it's just too random.    and yes Iran has a system of compulsory military service for men, and there is 50% chance for anybody to be randomly drafted by IRGC affiliated organizations. that's the case for Taremi and few others in the current team.  
    • Would you believe the NCAA Indoor season has already started?      
    • Some changes that I've noticed:   3x3 Basketball: With the expanded 12 team field, one extra team per gender qualifies through world rankings, one extra team qualifies through the universality driven tournament and there's now an Olympic Qualifier series to award the final quotas.   Beach Volleyball: Continental qualifiers have have priority over the World championship and World Rankings quotas and there's now Olympic Qualifier Series quotas.   Canoe Sprint: World ranking system now in place and will be used instead of awarding world championship quotas. Road Cycling: 2 nations ranking quotas per gender moved to universality.   Track Cycling: Sprint and Keirin ranking list is now combined and will award 14 quotas per gender. Previously it was 7+7. Team pursuit down to 8 quotas from 10. 2 of the quotas have been moved to madison (one additional team) and 6 to the omnium.   Fencing: Can get a Continental quota of you finished in the top 24 of the rankings. It was previously top 16.    Hockey: 2 pro league quotas replace two qualification tournament quotas.   Judo: 5 less universality places and 4 more Continental places. For men, there's two more spots for Asia, one less for Oceania and 1 more for the Americas. For the women, there's one more spot for Europe, one less for Oceania and two more for Asia.   Modern Pentathlon: Less quotas awarded through world rankings as a result of quota cuts.   Open Water Swimming: Introduction of world ranking qualifier.   Sailing: In general, seems to be more quotas awarded at the last chance regatta and less quotas at the World Championships   Shooting: One less quota handed out at each World Championship and the return on World Cup qualifiers.   Swimming: Olympic qualification and consideration times renamed to A and B standard. B standard is now 1% slower than the A standard compared to 0.5% in 2024. Stroke 50s have their own direct qualification events and have minimum time standards instead of A and B standards. Qualification times have been nuked again. B standard selection process has also changed.   Volleyball: New revised format. Continental championships first, then world championships followed by world rankings. In 2024, it was 3 qualification tournaments and then world rankings. Only 3 countries per gender will qualify by world rankings now compared to 5 in 2024
    • For Italy, the match against Japan and likely the final match against Estonia will be a safe/relegation game, but I'm think that whether the match against Estonia will be decisive on anything, if we have 0 points after 4 matches. We're currently the worst team here – we have 0 points and are taking significantly fewer shots than our opponents in each match. Japan and Estonia are looking better for now and unfortunately, without significant improvement play starting tomorrow, we'll likely be relegated to the fourth division. With the absence of Russia and Belarus, this will be a shame, even for the weaker 2006/2007 age generation. Especially, since we are playing this tournament at home. For anyone could have competed with a good shape, except perhaps Hungary, who are currently the best team in the tournament.
    • They shouldn't promise additional spots to countries that qualify 3 athletes in each distance, because then taking those spots away isn't fair. For example, in Italy, Previtali won the 500m QO for country but he would likely have to stay at home because the staff probably would have chosen Casinelli for the relay (Casinelli won't be competing individually at all). I don't know what the situation is in Canada with the fifth-place skater? Will this person only compete in the relay, or will he also be a reserve there? 
    • That's too bad. Athletes who finish in the top 32 (or 36 for the 1590m) should be the priority over the 5th athlete from a relay country.   So Croatia loses their 2nd women's quota, Hong Kong loses their only women's quota and Poland loses their 3rd women's quota.   This means that Great Britain, Slovakia and Ukraine should fill up the rest of the 1500m field since they are the highest placed reserves that doesn't require an additional quota.    
    • Philip Rivers' possible return to NFL while being a semifinalist for the Hall of Fame certainly wasn't on my bingo card. But well. So far he's only on the practice squad
    • Thursday December 11th, 2025 - Round-Robin Day 4 Schedule (GMT +1)   12:30   Austria vs Ukraine 16:00   Norway vs Kazakhstan 19:30   Slovenia vs France
