Thanks :yes I follow the event over the livestream. High jump is after all one of my favourite disciplines in athletics. (Mostly due to being a former high jumper myself in my youth.)

It was my worst jump. I do all three, but man I hated high. Triple was my beautiful baby though.

Sweden has hope regarding the son of the Olympic gold medalist from Athens 2004 Stefan Holm.

 

Melwin Holm is 15 years old and last week cleared a new PB of 2,13 meters.

 

He is ahead of his dad thus far.

I heard they’re going to add Mixed Team Javelin to the next Olympics. Teams of 4, two pairs, one throws, one catches.

Your suggestion would be more fun if it wasn't so realistic ;)

realistic? with someone trying to catch the javelin? are you a fan of splatter/snuff movies? or just an extreme sadist? :yikes::hairpull:

I was referring to the "Mixed Team" part of his comment ;) 8 teams,2 throwers per team in knock out system, Quarterfinals to Final will take about 30 minutes, easy to follow - come on, IOC is keen on having such events in the Olympic program!

OK...instead I mainly focused on the "one throws, one catches" the Javelin part...:yikes:

 

yeah...better not to give IOC weird ideas, as it looks like they love to make them come true...:facepalm:

Duplantis about to go for 6.18 in Glasgow.....

 

OVER!!!

 

And easily at that.  A lot more there.  
 

Very wisely saves it for another day.
