Really curious what Michael Obasuyi will do, considering the great showings of Remco Evenepoel and Wout van Aert so far!

How are those things related?

Starting just now.

 

I honestly forgot everything about Amel Tuka taking another medal last year.

[Werloc 3,191]

Andrius Gudžius won once against Stahl the entire year. That bodes well for the Olympics 

 

I can be happy that he at least was pretty close today

[Grassmarket 4,028]

Been a long time coming.

 

Lamine Diack, the ex-head of athletics' governing body, has been jailed after being found guilty of corruption.

Tomorrow starts the first competition in which you can qualify to the Olympic Games.

 

It's the 20k Race Walking cup from Alytus, Lithuania.

 

Athletes from 12 countries are registered: Ireland, Germany, Hungary, Spain, Belarus, Sweden, Poland, Ukraine, Italy, Great Britain, Lithuania and Latvia

 

Apparently, there were some strict guidelines that athletes had to follow in order to participate here, which knocked off the amount of participants significantly

 

Some notable names walking tomorrow are Perseus Karlstrom from Sweden, Brigita Virbalytė from Lithuania, Ainhoa Pinedo Gonzalez from Spain, Viktoria Madarasz from Hungary

I'm bite late, is this 20km race for both men's and women's together? Or that junior race of 10km?

It’s all four races at once.   Bit difficult to follow if you don’t speak Lithuanian.

Ah, ok  

 

Well, if I would even speak in Lithuanian it would be difficult to follow anyway  

 

I keep fingers for lone Polish walker, I hope that he will have a good enough time to qualify to Olympics, surprisingly we still don't have even one spot in mens event
