Woah, Marius Rudzevičius said that he would throw the 700g javelin until he breaks the U18 record.

 

With a 74.86, I think he might have just done it.

and surprise, surprise...it's Wayde Van Niekerk himself to be tested positive to covid-19... 

 

no news have been disclosed about his conditions, if he has symptoms or not and in case which symptoms?

 

as a consequence, no South Africans in Trieste today (the meet is underway as expected, however)...

Poor guy, just has no luck.  Hopefully he is one of the ones with no symptoms.

 

Where’s the stream?  Come on Italia, you are letting the world down.

They have been bribed by the Siena Tourist Board to force everyone to watch the cycling.

Ciao , andiamo!

 

Well, either we are not having a steeple tonight or Italians are tough - there’s no water.

 

Pozzi wins the 110h easily, but as usual hit the last two hurdles, would have cost him more in a bigger race.

Two Scottish 800m runners easily win “most pathetic suntan” awards.

 

Good race, Reekie just gets it.

Suntans are illegal in Scotland, Wales and Ireland,

Reekie might well be a potential Olympic champion if she keeps improving like she's been doing

800m are won by tactics and the infamous 250-300m sprint. If she doesn't have that, she won't win anything (like Laura Muir who doesn't have the long finish and can only win timed races and you know Olympics and World Champs are never won on time unless someone is sacrificed as a pacemaker).

Very good time for Scotti, only 0.01 from his PB. Italian 4x400 relay will be really competitive
