Duplantis set a new WR with 6.17 m mark in PV

so, one step forward (the reinstated disciplines and the return of the 2-hour format instead of the silly 90-min schedule) and two steps back (that fuc*in' sh*t of the "final-3" in the field events)..

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

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).

      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.)

      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.

      [OFF TOPIC] Eurovision Song Contest 2021

      By torres7 · Posted

      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
