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 

?

Next up we have the Ostrava Golden Spike :CZE tomorrow evening.  Looks like a good one!  Big cast lined up.

At the same time as the Ostrava meet, Vetter is going for the Javelin In Anhalt 2020

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.

Femke Bol won the 300 Hurdles in WL 38.55  ahead of Emma Zapletalová 38.97 PB :clap: this girl looks good really really good, I really start to be confident we will have historic participation at the Olympics in W 400 H.

    • 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.
