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.

OlympicsFan 790 Posted July 14, 2023 #42 Share Posted July 14, 2023 19 hours ago, justony said: 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) justony 1 Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

Bearas 378 Posted July 14, 2023 #43 Share Posted July 14, 2023 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vektor 3,196 Posted July 14, 2023 #45 Share Posted July 14, 2023 (edited) Takács with a new NR in women's 100m yesterday (11.14). The 11.07 Olympic ES is in sight, and maybe in due time she can break into the 10s club. Edited July 14, 2023 by Vektor maestro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hckošice 13,318 Posted July 14, 2023 #47 Share Posted July 14, 2023 (edited) 34 minutes ago, Styrka said: I saw it live, she seemed emotionally crushed after the race 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 Edited July 14, 2023 by hckošice maestro and Styrka 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grassmarket 2,806 Posted July 14, 2023 #49 Share Posted July 14, 2023 (edited) Got one of your Scandi downpours now - everything is postponed. Crowd still in the stands though Bit of comedy relief with a guy who doesn’t know how to fix his squeegee roller.

Grassmarket 2,806 Posted July 14, 2023 #50 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Restarting at 19:00 . In the meantime, a chance to compare whether than Finnish pop is worse than Polish. A bit like asking if you prefer train crashes to car crashes. Josh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
