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:

In this competition, the runners had to run 2 races of 400 meters in the same day, which is extremely difficult, it's no wonder that most of them wanted to conserve their energy and run using as little energy as possible. Benati ran 45.51 this year, which for a 21-year-old runner is very good. 400 meters is an extremely difficult race, in which one cannot always run record after record.

He still should easily take gold, Sotero being only true contender.

 

Meanwhile, first dissapointment for our team, Čurin Prapotnik after astonishing breakthrough season has not managed to qualify even for 100 m semis.

Very weird take ...

1) "He still should EASILY take gold" + "Sotero being only true CONTENDER" ...?

2) How can you call Sotero a contender but not Richter? (Personally i think that neither of them is a contender for gold)

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

Team Poland with Lithuanian flare - Andrukonis representing in women's Javelin.... although not doing great.

 

Very poor starts for Lithuanians this morning overall. Hope to see Keršulis redeeming the team with good time in 400m final

Well, she arrived with high expectations here, probably her once in a lifetime chance to medal at "major" championship (and completely justified, after what I saw from here the whole season to today), so her tears were understandable

 

but it is how it is, high level sport is also a matter of mental readiness and the ability to handle even the greatest pressure from the general public. This is another thing I noticed many times being the cause of failure of most of our athletes.

 

In other hand she is still young and talented, I do believe this sorrowful experience can and will only help her in the future. I can bet my house she will never crash like that 2 hurdles from the line in the all rest of her life now :p

    • Its a bit off top, but Turkmenistan also was only one country in the world without official case of covid 
    • In the USSR, when Stalin died, there was de-Stalinization but some of his monuments remained, although, for example, the names of cities were changed. I feel sorry for the people living in Turkmenistan or smiliar countries but what can be done? The USA could to introduce some civilized life in Afghanistan but this government was so weak that it fell a few weeks after the Americans left. It would probably be similar here.
    • I love to see more competitions but we had the highest level for 6 weights in Paris, non-Olympic events also needed a top tier competition for this year of 2024.   considering the fact that the IOC is shrinking the competition to just 16 per weight, it wouldn't that bad to have a full 10 weight competition for each style, giving the chance to everybody.   but we would see lots of big names not participating because of the Olympics (and the recovery time after that) so I think that was the best solution.    ps: if it was up to me entirely  I think 8 weights is good enough for men (6 is too less, 10 is too much) and all of them should be in the Olympics. but unfortunately it's up to King T. and his goons. 
    • I’ve only seen things related to the father of this current president. And not even much of that, everything had the face of the new one now.   but of course, I saw only what I was allowed to see , that is how things work if you want to visit it :-)
    • I wonder if there are any monuments to their first leader, who died in 2006, or has the latter taken over everything? 
    • now the leader is not that one, but his son (you’ll see him in one of the photos I shared, in the tv. His face is everywhere as it happens in any country with cult of the leader).   and yes the story is true, in Ashgabat only white, golden and some other colour (grey?) cars are allowed in the city. Just like every building is white.   And it’s funny you mention the talibans, because Turkmenistan has an Afghanistan representation/consulate in their country, and one of the days when we were eating lunch in a mall at Mary city, the Turkmen guide was called by the restaurant waiter and then came to us and said “ok so don’t worry, but a taliban delegation is coming here to eat lunch so don’t take pictures and behave discreetly when they enter”.   One of those wtf moments of our trip haha
    • I agree, but having 2 (in 2016) or 4 weight categories wont help the noble cause. Why UWW limited this WC to only non olympic wrestlers? Why only 4 weights?  And so on. I saw some great bouts but they were overshadowed by these facts. At least IMO.

    • https://www.news18.com/news/auto/turkmenistan-president-bans-all-colored-cars-from-capital-only-white-cars-allowed-1632963.html   It`s crazy. In my opinion, there was better there when they were under the USSR, because there were no such absurdities.
    • A few years ago I read a crazy story about this president-dictator from Turkmenistan, who banning white or dark cars from being imported to Turkmenistan (I don't remember which ones). This is a country of absurdities. After the fall of the USSR, a dictator- Turkmenbascha, who ruled there for many years and died about 15 years ago and his health minister replaced him and has ruled ever since. Both are madmen. Uzbekistan or Kazakhstan are more civilized and don't have such weirdos in power. It's probably only the Taliban that are more radical.
