It looks like Krawczuk doesn't have any injury cause he start today at 200m (he won gold) and later in relay. And talking about relay, very interesting squad of RKS Łódź: three middle-distance runner (including Adam Kszczot, another absence at this Championships) and one sprinter. Effect? Gold medal :d

Good to hear that, he deserved to have medal :d 

 

If I good remember last year (or two?) Kszczot also didn't start on 800m and started only in relay like this year, I wonder what is reason.

 

I'm surprised that Jaszczuk didn't win medal, 4th place is highly disappointed...

despite the inclement weather, earlier today Leonardo Fabbri scored an amazing 21.99m in the men's shot put at the Italian Nationals in Padua...:yikes:

 

he improved his PB by 40cm and his performance is the world no.2 (behind the 22.91m shot by Ryan Crouser) and the european no.1 this season...:bowdown:

 

unfortunately the awful weather did really influence in a negative way all the other results: Marcel Jacobs won the men's 100m in 10.10 (but with +3.3 wind) after Filippo Tortu pulled out just before the final, Luminosa Bogliolo easily won the women's 100m Hurdles in 13.03 (regular wind), Larissa Iapichino won her first senior Italian title in the women's Long Jump (but with a vey modest 6.32m and -1.7 wind), Gianmarco Tamberi won the men's High Jump with 2m28cm and finally, in absence of Davide Re (injured in the Stockholm DL race last week), Edoardo Scotti won the men's 400m in 45.77...

 

all the remaining events are not even worth mentioning...

Fragments from her run in the first 2 minutes of the video. She won the race almost 7 seconds ahead of the silver medalist :lol:

Makes me think about the Netherlands in the same event: the general level is not really very good at all, but apparently both you and we have one young and very talented girl making up for that :cheer:

Lashmanova improve the women's 50km race walk world record of 9 minutes (!!)

 

Of course, she is Russian and her WR was not ratificable. What bullshit

    • 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 ,
