1st day of Vilnius athletics championships.

 

Ieva Zarankaitė threw the discus with a mark of 60.60, can't really remember the last time we had a 60+ in Lithuania from the women's side. Zinaida Sendriūtė hasn't been throwing like that for a very long time.

 

That is nearly +2 meters from her PB that she achieved just a week ago.

 

Andrius Gudžius threw the discus twice over 67 meters (67.05 and 67.08) also improving from the same competition four days ago. It is looking like a decent comeback after the season plagued with injuries.

 

He also said that he throws near 70 meters when he is training, so we can expect better results soon.

 

There were no more results worth attention, I think, perhaps something will happen on the 2nd day.

tomorrow in Rieti the first official Italian meet of the season will be on stage...

 

unfortunately, no international stars are involved because of the impossibility to travel to Italy, but a good number of the best athletes in our Country will be at the start...

 

the main stars will be for sure Filippo Tortu over the men's 100m dash together with the clown, AKA Gianmarco Tamberi (men's High Jump)...

 

among others, Davide Re (but not competing over his beloved 400m), Luminosa Bogliolo (women's 100m HS), young rising star Carolina Visca (women's Javelin Throw), Ayomide Folorunso and Maria Benedicta Chigbolu (women's 400m, despite the first being a 400m HS specialist) and the main non-Italian representative, Andrew Pozzi (GBR, but with Italian heritage) over the men's 110m HS...

 

the meet will be streamed live by the main Italian Newspaper's website, www.repubblica.it, from 5 p.m. to about 7 p.m. CET (you'll find the link directly on their website tomorrow)...

Are you sure that it was wind legal?

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

    • One of my favorite songs from the early 2000s that I listened to on a cassette on my walkman      
    • For me 20 medals will be good. And if more there are? Super. However, I prefer not to get my hopes up too much, so as not to be disappointed later.
    • If you're still taking suggestions, I tought the following:   Team Madison format.   17 teams of 2 "riders", randomly drawn. Teams can be named for famous "endurance" track cyclists. 4 intermediate "sprints", one after a voting block, in which the top 8 teams will score according to this formula: (10, 8, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1). The order in which team score for a sprint are determined by the total number of "medals" won by both members of the team during the block. Ranking will be sorted according to the number of gold medals, then silver, then bronze. If there's two or more teams with same number of points, the medals of best individual performer of each team will be considered to break the tie. If the tie remains, then team's total points during the block will be used to break it. If the team fails to receive a single medal during each block, it will be considered to "lose lap" and 20 points will be substracted from their score. If the team fails to score at least 1 point during each block, it will be an automatic DNF for the team. If both members of the team get a medal from a single jury, it will be considered to "gain lap" and 20 points will be added to their score. A team can only win an additional lap per voting block. After the 4 intermediate, a "final" sprint will be recorded, in which points will be doubled (20, 16, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4 & 2). Ranking for the final sprint will take into account the total medals won during the event.   What do you think?
    • I don't medal pick, per se... I assign probabilities/expected-values and total them up. So I don't have a gold medal estimate... but if you want one, divide those numbers by three and you'll be pretty close!   I imagine Norway, Italy and Netherlands and maybe Canada will probably skew a bit higher on golds, and US, Germany, and Sweden will skew a little lower... so maybe: Norway - 14 US - 11 Germany - 11 Italy - 11 Canada - 10 Austria - 8 Netherlands - 8 Japan - 7 Sweden - 6 France.- 6   I was surprised seeing Italy come in that high, I was figuring 22-23, but I guess they've been do well on the World Cups. 
    • If you were to predict top- 10 for the number of gold medals, what would it look like?     For me, as an Italian, any result for Italy: +20 medals would be OK (if that will include 6-7 gold medals). The trauma of Turin 2006 is too great
    • Doesn't really help that two of the strongest countries in that particular sport are banned from the team event for well known reasons.
    • Just another reason why it's super dumb that the NOC max in freestyle skiing isn't 40.
    • In rugby there's More Squidge Rugby (the main channel has proper videos).
