I don’t think the spectators in Lausanne understand how to practice “social distancing“ :mumble:

Well, neither do the ones along the route of the Tour De France from what I’ve seen, so it’s par for the course.

I'm not reading posts because of spoilers, but I tried to watch the Lausanne DL and the channel that normally shows DL has nothing. Was it even held, or was it only pole vault in the city somewhere and no other events? Because I do find a Kendricks vs Duplantis video on Youtube which I'm watching now :p

It's only Pole Vault. That's the whole meeting.

Sadly no one expected for event to got so late in the evening, Duplantis would probably already today broke Bubka's record, if there would be still daylight.

Cool with swedish win in both womens and mens competition!

 

Too bad they didn´t think abot the light, the darkness might have stopped a world record yesterday.

 

About the number of people I am not surprised after seing swiss people post pictures from night clubs last months but it seems many nations are now opening up anything as long as they are protecting their mouth which they in many cases are not good at. I have not supported every part of the swedish strategy but seems that trategy might more consistent at least.

We are off in Brussels.

 

Women’s Hour Record up first.  They are up on the record at 53.

 

Smurfs are observing mask discipline.

 

Hassan wins, utterly ridiculous that the lapped runners did not get out her way.  Send them home on the bus!

 

Nafi Thiam a no-show in BRU - injury. :(
 

Kipyegon misses the Women’s 1K WR.

 

After 20mins Farah is not really imposing himself on the WR.

 

Duplantis going for 6.15 - not far off first time.

 

Farah still falling off after 40mins, will need a big last 800m.

 

Duplantis XXX

 

Oho Farah moves ahead again.

 

well up now, but still has to beat Abdi who is getting a free ride.

 

Well done Mo, got the WR in the end.  Suspect he won’t have it long if the other big names chase it.

    • I love that it is more straightforward in relation to the number of quotas and does not allow possible problems as it was in Tokyo and Paris.
    • I love the judo qualification system, for me is the best in all disciplines. It combines a strong circuit, and it allows 100 or so countries to participate in.   So, maybe, if UWW does its job properly, it will be a good thing.
    • China Media Group (CMG) will broadcast all 116 gold medal events of the Milan Winter Olympics live on CCTV-1, CCTV-5, CCTV-5+ and CCTV-16. It will also use technologies such as 4K/8K ultra-high definition to enhance the viewing experience. Live broadcasts of all events will be carried out from 16:00 Beijing time to 06:00 the next day.
    • The strength of the UK is that they are 100% focused on the track, while Italy must to navigate between the track and the road: the line-up is different for practically every event, etc. Paternoster should focus 100% on the track; she won't win anything big on the road anymore. As it is, she's weak both there and there. The situation is different with Balsamo, as she's also having significant success on the road and likely earns the most money there.
    • Discovery+ in the UK have also got their schedule up now.     I notice that only thing listed as being in UHD is the Opening Ceremony though....     
    • The problem over the last few years was that no-one was able to keep pace with the big Katie Archibald turns. Looks to be sorted now.  
    • The women's top 50 is so crammed with athletes from the same five nations that it is not inconceivable they are unable to fill the full quota from the top 50, in which case a third double spot would open up between USA/BEL/GBR
    • That women's pursuit team looks brutally fast. Batter you over the head into submission brutal, perhaps not seen since the early Trott-Rowsell days The 4 minute barrier could be on borrowed time.   The two British women sprinters Finucane and Caldwell also look pretty ominous, indeed the whole women's sprint team looks in some shape and with some depth to get that result without Finucane   Work to do for the British men's teams, but they won't be unhappy either, not to mention Joe Truman's unexpected Kilo win.
    • I prefer to do mine like this guy (https://app.podiumsport.it/) does his "Projected Medals" as probability based rather than straight medal picking... all things being equal, conversion rates should be about the same and the outliers come out in the wash. Unfortunately most people just like medal picking, and think any other approach is weird  
    • So probably: Men Oceania: Americas: Africa: Asia: One of  Europe: One of Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (probably not)  and whichever countries don’t qualify from Asian Games.  Universality: ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of the above in World Rankings    and one of  (most likely) or  seem safe with two quotas. The other will be favourites if a third team gets allocated two.    Women Oceania: Europe: One of Americas:  /  if US is ineligible due to their host quota, if the host quota gets reallocated then Canada will be in contention in the rankings Africa:   Asia: One of   Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (x1?)  (x1/2)  (x1/2), whichever doesn’t qualify out of  / ,  and  ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of above.  Universality: ?    is safe with two quotas between  it’ll be tough for whoever misses out of those three.   nevermind ,
