Athletics 2020 Discussion Thread

On the first day of athletics championships in Klaipėda, there were some good results in the discus throw.

 

Andrius Gudžius with the 4th season best throw in the world, the result - 68.68m

 

Another two men threw a 60+

 

And lastly, the Lithuanian U18 Discus Throw (1.75kg) record was broken by Mykolas Alekna with a throw of 60.57m

 

The second day of events has started just now, so I'll see if there was anything interesting when the results are up.

In the studio of Polish TV the high jump competition is being held. It's commentated by a former decathlete Sebastian Chmara and a former modern pentathlete Jarosław Idzi. What's interesting - one of the athletes is Paweł Wiesiołek, now decathlete, whose wife used to train... modern pentathlon. :)

Does anyone else think that the ban of Naser might have a huge influence on Miller-Uibo‘s decision on whether to go for the double next year or not? I think with Naser gone she should definitely go for the double.

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

later today, an interesting meet will be held in Savona (ITA)...

 

as usual, not many international stars at the start because of the travelling restrictions due to covid-19, but we still a good starting field, with :GBR Andrew Pozzi and many of the best Italian athletes...

 

main event of the afternoon, the duel between Filippo Tortu and Marcell Jacobs over the men's 100m dash...

 

to be followed closely, also the men's 400m dash with Davide Re (already looking in good shape in the previous meets), the women's 100m hurdles with Luminosa Bogliolo and the men's Shot Put with Leonardo Fabbri...

 

the meet is scheduled between 5 p.m. CET and 7 p.m. CET and it will be televised and streamed live by our public TV sports channel, Raisport+ HD from 5.30 p.m. CET until the end of the program...

 

I hope it will be available all around with no geo-blocking, but I can't be sure until the beginning of the live broadcast...

Athletics in the 2020s will be a repeat of the 1990s.  We already have Fiona May’s daughter, Erki Nool’s son, Virgilius Alekna’s two sons, Tomas Dvorak’s twin daughters....

    • 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).
