Van Niekerk could have the covid and could skip the tomorrow Trieste meeting.

Apparently tomorrow he will do a 2nd test.

Looks like a very good meet coming up on Saturday from Trieste.  Lots of big names in action, some for the first time this year.  International events start 17:30 Euro 16:30 UK

Live on YouTube.

it looks that it's not Van Niekerk himself to have covid-19, but one of the members of the small South African team training in Gemona (near Trieste) in this period...

 

therefore, it's well possible that all the SA athletes announced at the start of today's meet won't be able to participate (even if they're desperately trying to save at least Van niekerk's presence, by isolating him from the rest of the team and making him a second test this morning after the one he sustained last night (no news about the result of that one, yet)...

 

by the way, today on one of the main Italian newspapers (La Repubblica), they published a beautiful interview with Van Niekerk...

 

of course it's in Italian, but google translate should do a decent work also for those who don't speak our language, though...

back to today's meet in Trieste, this is the schedule of events (all times CET, in UK -1 hour, in the US East Coast, -6 hours) with the most notable athletes on paper in each event:

 

17.35: Women's 100m (Heats) - Tatjana Pinto (GER)
18.05: Men's 100m (Heats) - Marcell Jacobs (ITA), Sean Safi-Antwo (GHA)
18.15: Men's Triple Jump - Pablo Torrijos (ESP)
18.25: Men's Pole Vault - Thiago Braz (BRA)
18.40: Men's Shot Put - Leonardo Fabbri (ITA)
18.50: Men's 110HS - Andrew Pozzi (GBR) and all the best Italians (Lorenzo Perini, Hassane Fofana, Paolo Dal Molin)
19:00: Women's 100HS - Luminosa Bogliolo & Elisa Di Lazzaro (ITA), Katharina Johnson-Thompson (GBR)
19:00: Women's High Jump - Elena Vallortigara & Alessia Trost (ITA)
19.10: Women's 800m - Laura Muir & Jemma Reekie (GBR), Renelle Lamote (FRA), Selina Buechel (SUI)

If anyone is interested in Baltic athletics, today the U18 and U20 Baltic championships start.

 

The rules are pretty simple, two Lithuanians, two Estonians and two Latvians start in every single discipline for both U18 and U20 categories and score points for their team that will be tallied up in the end to see which country wins. 

 

The youtube livestream can be found here: and the official start is 15:00 GTM+3 (in three hours from now)

 

There will also be real time live results on the sportify app with the password baltic2020

 

Personally, I never skip this event, but I have to leave at 16:00 :/ I'm definitely watching all of the second day, that will start at 11:00 GTM+3 tomorrow (gonna drop a livestream link too, if anyone is actually interested :p )

Sadly sportify isn't available in Italy :( Any possible alternative livescore? :P

 

 

Probably not, I doubt that the Latvian or Estonian federations decide to run their own live results on their athletics page if there's already a deal with Spotify.

 

Why isn't it available in Italy? :(

    • 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 ,
