Van Niekerk could have the covid and could skip the tomorrow Trieste meeting.

Apparently tomorrow he will do a 2nd test.

Looks like a very good meet coming up on Saturday from Trieste.  Lots of big names in action, some for the first time this year.  International events start 17:30 Euro 16:30 UK

Live on YouTube.

it looks that it's not Van Niekerk himself to have covid-19, but one of the members of the small South African team training in Gemona (near Trieste) in this period...

 

therefore, it's well possible that all the SA athletes announced at the start of today's meet won't be able to participate (even if they're desperately trying to save at least Van niekerk's presence, by isolating him from the rest of the team and making him a second test this morning after the one he sustained last night (no news about the result of that one, yet)...

 

by the way, today on one of the main Italian newspapers (La Repubblica), they published a beautiful interview with Van Niekerk...

 

of course it's in Italian, but google translate should do a decent work also for those who don't speak our language, though...

back to today's meet in Trieste, this is the schedule of events (all times CET, in UK -1 hour, in the US East Coast, -6 hours) with the most notable athletes on paper in each event:

 

17.35: Women's 100m (Heats) - Tatjana Pinto (GER)
18.05: Men's 100m (Heats) - Marcell Jacobs (ITA), Sean Safi-Antwo (GHA)
18.15: Men's Triple Jump - Pablo Torrijos (ESP)
18.25: Men's Pole Vault - Thiago Braz (BRA)
18.40: Men's Shot Put - Leonardo Fabbri (ITA)
18.50: Men's 110HS - Andrew Pozzi (GBR) and all the best Italians (Lorenzo Perini, Hassane Fofana, Paolo Dal Molin)
19:00: Women's 100HS - Luminosa Bogliolo & Elisa Di Lazzaro (ITA), Katharina Johnson-Thompson (GBR)
19:00: Women's High Jump - Elena Vallortigara & Alessia Trost (ITA)

If anyone is interested in Baltic athletics, today the U18 and U20 Baltic championships start.

 

The rules are pretty simple, two Lithuanians, two Estonians and two Latvians start in every single discipline for both U18 and U20 categories and score points for their team that will be tallied up in the end to see which country wins. 

 

The youtube livestream can be found here: and the official start is 15:00 GTM+3 (in three hours from now)

 

There will also be real time live results on the sportify app with the password baltic2020

 

Personally, I never skip this event, but I have to leave at 16:00 :/ I'm definitely watching all of the second day, that will start at 11:00 GTM+3 tomorrow (gonna drop a livestream link too, if anyone is actually interested :p )

Sadly sportify isn't available in Italy :( Any possible alternative livescore? :P

 

 

Probably not, I doubt that the Latvian or Estonian federations decide to run their own live results on their athletics page if there's already a deal with Spotify.

 

Why isn't it available in Italy? :(

    • Those are the national junior championships, national championships are in Steinkjer, starting tomorrow: FIS | Steinkjer (NOR) - Event Details - Cross-Country
    • Nice for them, but also kind of too bad they pick the exact same two as last time. Would have been nice to see Regina Martinez for example (although I'm not sure that would have been logistically possible, depending on how they're going to do the flag bearer thing in the first place).

    • 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.
