Athletics 2020 Discussion Thread

On the first day of athletics championships in Klaipėda, there were some good results in the discus throw.

 

Andrius Gudžius with the 4th season best throw in the world, the result - 68.68m

 

Another two men threw a 60+

 

And lastly, the Lithuanian U18 Discus Throw (1.75kg) record was broken by Mykolas Alekna with a throw of 60.57m

 

The second day of events has started just now, so I'll see if there was anything interesting when the results are up.

In the studio of Polish TV the high jump competition is being held. It's commentated by a former decathlete Sebastian Chmara and a former modern pentathlete Jarosław Idzi. What's interesting - one of the athletes is Paweł Wiesiołek, now decathlete, whose wife used to train... modern pentathlon. :)

Does anyone else think that the ban of Naser might have a huge influence on Miller-Uibo‘s decision on whether to go for the double next year or not? I think with Naser gone she should definitely go for the double.

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

later today, an interesting meet will be held in Savona (ITA)...

 

as usual, not many international stars at the start because of the travelling restrictions due to covid-19, but we still a good starting field, with :GBR Andrew Pozzi and many of the best Italian athletes...

 

main event of the afternoon, the duel between Filippo Tortu and Marcell Jacobs over the men's 100m dash...

 

to be followed closely, also the men's 400m dash with Davide Re (already looking in good shape in the previous meets), the women's 100m hurdles with Luminosa Bogliolo and the men's Shot Put with Leonardo Fabbri...

 

the meet is scheduled between 5 p.m. CET and 7 p.m. CET and it will be televised and streamed live by our public TV sports channel, Raisport+ HD from 5.30 p.m. CET until the end of the program...

 

I hope it will be available all around with no geo-blocking, but I can't be sure until the beginning of the live broadcast...

Athletics in the 2020s will be a repeat of the 1990s.  We already have Fiona May’s daughter, Erki Nool’s son, Virgilius Alekna’s two sons, Tomas Dvorak’s twin daughters....

    • I love that it is more straightforward in relation to the number of quotas and does not allow possible problems as it was in Tokyo and Paris.
    • I love the judo qualification system, for me is the best in all disciplines. It combines a strong circuit, and it allows 100 or so countries to participate in.   So, maybe, if UWW does its job properly, it will be a good thing.
    • China Media Group (CMG) will broadcast all 116 gold medal events of the Milan Winter Olympics live on CCTV-1, CCTV-5, CCTV-5+ and CCTV-16. It will also use technologies such as 4K/8K ultra-high definition to enhance the viewing experience. Live broadcasts of all events will be carried out from 16:00 Beijing time to 06:00 the next day.
    • The strength of the UK is that they are 100% focused on the track, while Italy must to navigate between the track and the road: the line-up is different for practically every event, etc. Paternoster should focus 100% on the track; she won't win anything big on the road anymore. As it is, she's weak both there and there. The situation is different with Balsamo, as she's also having significant success on the road and likely earns the most money there.
    • Discovery+ in the UK have also got their schedule up now.     I notice that only thing listed as being in UHD is the Opening Ceremony though....     
    • The problem over the last few years was that no-one was able to keep pace with the big Katie Archibald turns. Looks to be sorted now.  
    • The women's top 50 is so crammed with athletes from the same five nations that it is not inconceivable they are unable to fill the full quota from the top 50, in which case a third double spot would open up between USA/BEL/GBR
    • That women's pursuit team looks brutally fast. Batter you over the head into submission brutal, perhaps not seen since the early Trott-Rowsell days The 4 minute barrier could be on borrowed time.   The two British women sprinters Finucane and Caldwell also look pretty ominous, indeed the whole women's sprint team looks in some shape and with some depth to get that result without Finucane   Work to do for the British men's teams, but they won't be unhappy either, not to mention Joe Truman's unexpected Kilo win.
    • I prefer to do mine like this guy (https://app.podiumsport.it/) does his "Projected Medals" as probability based rather than straight medal picking... all things being equal, conversion rates should be about the same and the outliers come out in the wash. Unfortunately most people just like medal picking, and think any other approach is weird  
    • So probably: Men Oceania: Americas: Africa: Asia: One of  Europe: One of Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (probably not)  and whichever countries don’t qualify from Asian Games.  Universality: ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of the above in World Rankings    and one of  (most likely) or  seem safe with two quotas. The other will be favourites if a third team gets allocated two.    Women Oceania: Europe: One of Americas:  /  if US is ineligible due to their host quota, if the host quota gets reallocated then Canada will be in contention in the rankings Africa:   Asia: One of   Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (x1?)  (x1/2)  (x1/2), whichever doesn’t qualify out of  / ,  and  ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of above.  Universality: ?    is safe with two quotas between  it’ll be tough for whoever misses out of those three.   nevermind ,
