Impressive result for Vetter, good job, I hope that he will broke WR yet in this year :yes

 

 

Again few good results in Chorzów, Ennaoui finally run under 4 minutes on 1500m, Andrejczyk in javelin throw 65.70 her second best result in career :) 

 

And on men's 800m everyone except winner Rotich scores their season best :)

97.76 m!

Also had 94.84 m, which is also better than anyone else except Zelezyn has ever thrown. 
Vetter said that it would have gone over 100 m if it wouldn’t have been in a closed stadium.

Edit: He improved his own German record by 3.32 m.

 

I feel really sorry for him, he can only lose at this point. Unless he wins Olympic gold next year everyone will say that he messed up.

Finally a great result in athletics you don’t consider suspicious

Sad to see that you have nothing better to do with your life than trolling.

How many world records will be broken? Crouser and Warholm might finally do it, not so sure about Barega.

I'd say likely for Warholm given his constant improvements, guess this race will conclude in season in fashion. As for Crouser the WR could show up at every meet, maybe even more in a "weaker" one, with ONE perfect throw to seal the deal ...

'Likely' might be a bit much for a world record that's as tight as this one, although it is absolutely possible. I hope he won't, I'd like to be able to see it live (and a bigger event would be nice) :p 

 

Crouser will do it in some lame US backyard meet.

    • Tragic performance of the Italian women's team - last place and probably something bad happened at the start. There are so few starts in the team that it will be a problem to even qualify for the World Championships - 8 best teams. After Lollobrigida's return and Fontana's addition, I was counting on much more, but it seems that there are too few joint trainings. With individual quality, we have no right to lose to the Czechs without Sablikova, or anonymous Korea. And unfortunately this start will count for a lot, because there are only 2 more and our chances of playing at the World Championships are minimal. In my opinion with Fontana going from Short Track to Long Track, there won't be much use in the team. Here, great teamwork is needed, not improvisation. As of today, there is very little chance that we will qualify the women's team for the games.
    • men advanced to Division A for the first time since 2018 (when they went 1-8). Don't expect much progress next year
    • Ok, but there we are talking about a person who has parents from different countries. Colturi has nothing to do with Albania.
    • There are few people here from Austria, Switzerland, Norway and Finland.
    • The worst editions in XXI century for us were Vancouver: 5 medals (only 1 gold for Razzoli's on the penultimate day) and Sochi: 8 medals (but no gold). Turin was already a prelude to this bad period, although the number of gold medals was ok. Overall we won fewer medals at home than in 2002 and this was probably the only case in the 21st century when the host country won fewer medals at home than 4 years earlier, either in summer or winter. In general the years 2008-2016 were very bad in our sport, both in summer and winter. Only 2018 in Korea was a slight rebuild + 2 fantastic summer editions in Tokyo and Paris. in Beijing 2022 we won a lot of medals - 17 but only 2 gold (If it weren't for Gogga's injury, I think it would have been 4 gold).
    • Totallympics had  users at one point, but I haven't seen any hanging around in a while.
    • In terms of total medals, yes. In terms of golds, I’d be fine with anywhere from 6-8.   @intoronto you don’t think we’ll do better or at least the same? Bit surprising.
    • Tadeucci was very good and took bronze
    • On the Olympics I don't like to count golds to analyse the performance, I think the best data are the top8 and medals. In both fields I expect a big improvement (obviously not on the 'pure' number, but on the percentage of medal or top8 events)
    • December is probably going to be focused on either Italy/Austria or Norway, but the plans are still being made as we speak. Renting a car, driving from the Netherlands down to Italy, finding accomodations and help with preparing the skis and all that...trying to make it as an independent 'solo' athlete is...hard     I can't go and help out, because we got the keys to our house (finally) and there's lots of work to be done there, so it's all happening at the same time and the mind is getting crazy (for both of us)
