Woah, Marius Rudzevičius said that he would throw the 700g javelin until he breaks the U18 record.

 

With a 74.86, I think he might have just done it.

and surprise, surprise...it's Wayde Van Niekerk himself to be tested positive to covid-19...:yikes: :facepalm:

 

no news have been disclosed about his conditions, if he has symptoms or not and in case which symptoms?

 

as a consequence, no South Africans in Trieste today (the meet is underway as expected, however)...

Poor guy, just has no luck.  Hopefully he is one of the ones with no symptoms.

 

Where’s the stream?  Come on Italia, you are letting the world down. :d

They have been bribed by the Siena Tourist Board to force everyone to watch the cycling.

Ciao :ITA, andiamo!

 

Well, either we are not having a steeple tonight or Italians are tough - there’s no water.

 

Pozzi wins the 110h easily, but as usual hit the last two hurdles, would have cost him more in a bigger race.

Two Scottish 800m runners easily win “most pathetic suntan” awards.

 

Good race, Reekie just gets it.

Suntans are illegal in Scotland, Wales and Ireland,

Reekie might well be a potential Olympic champion if she keeps improving like she's been doing

800m are won by tactics and the infamous 250-300m sprint. If she doesn't have that, she won't win anything (like Laura Muir who doesn't have the long finish and can only win timed races and you know Olympics and World Champs are never won on time unless someone is sacrificed as a pacemaker).

    • 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.
