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)
19.10: Women's 800m - Laura Muir & Jemma Reekie (GBR), Renelle Lamote (FRA), Selina Buechel (SUI)
19.25: Men's Long Jump - Filippo Randazzo (ITA)

19.45: Women's 400m - Raphaela Lukudo (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 )

There is one combined ranking for both age category?

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? :(

    • World Record    16 year old  Zhao Yicheng with a 4.58 in the men's speed preliminaries, bettering the previous mark of 4.64 
    • I hope they can kick teqball and convince the North Koreans to play the real deal  (very unlikely, I know(   Obstacle racing on the other hand, it should be a compulsory sport of the ABG
    • Lasting 2 Weeks and including 24 sports    I bet Beach Sepaktakraw(including their favourite Chinlone, Hoop), Water Skiing, Arnis, Floorball, Wushu, Weightlifting, Taekwondo, Underwater Hockey, Boxing and a few martial arts (Kickboxing/Muay Thai etc)   Obstacle Racing also should make the cut.
    • Oops. I must have misunderstood. I could have sworn I saw her jogging in a field of other men. I assumed she had caught up to some of the slower men. (I admittedly wasn't watching closely.)
    • The women started earlier, it was a race without any men participating.
    • Looking forward to this competition starting tomorrow! Will be nice to see some other countries participate. USA women start with Namibia tomorrow.
    • This came out on the official website yesterday. Updated list of events and competition schedules in Japanese.   Padel and Teqball are on the schedules. Looks like two events for Padel and five for Teqball.   https://www.aichi-nagoya2026.org/files/common/260427競技スケジュール/01_日本語/01_アジア/第20回アジア競技大会競技プログラム.pdf   https://www.aichi-nagoya2026.org/files/common/260427競技スケジュール/01_日本語/01_アジア/第20回アジア競技大会デイリースケジュール.pdf   https://www.aichi-nagoya2026.org/files/common/260427競技スケジュール/01_日本語/01_アジア/第20回アジア競技大会セッションスケジュール.pdf   On the sports programme PDF, Padel is #25 and Teqball is #38.
    • looks like the agreement is the international federations are in fact hosting the event, not the AG organizers, so everything is up to them to make it happen.   Teqball is now confirmed to have 5 events (singles and doubles) does it mean easy 5 gold medals for Thailand ?   Padel is not 100% confirmed yet. I assume there are still talks ongoing between the IF and the Japanese organizers.
    • I feel like this year's Eurovision is more wide open than ever 😂   There isn't a clear favorite, and that makes everything more exciting. Finland is looking strong, sure, but Ukraine always knows how to surprise people and connect with them. I was checking out the odds a bit, and I was struck by how quickly they're rising.   By the way, I found a site that compares the odds pretty clearly: https://casasdeapuestaseurovision.com/   It’s nothing special, but it gives you an idea of how things are shaping up before the semifinals. Although we all know how this goes… at Eurovision, everything can change in a matter of minutes
