I think, thai it's true. Competition score is the one of the most stupid things in athletics. But can we do anything else? 

Different systems for different events maybe  

 

I mean, 2.30m is always gonna be 2.30m. Sure, there's some influence from the competition itself, but nothing compared to for example a 5km, where the field has a huge influence on the tactics and so the possible time. Winning in 13:10 can in fact be more impressive than second in 12:50.

If WR consists only with Result Score, there will be interesting

Just under 24 hours until the return of the diamond league. Not a lot of big names though. I am excited for the pole vault battle between Lavillenie and Duplantis.

Don’t want to be pedantic but.....

The Lausanne 'final' is going to be done remotely, with athletes competing in I believe seven stadiums around the world. No thanks

For those who don't understand the art as well as I haven't - the idea is that it's not a pipe, because you cannot take it and smoke it. It is just a picture of pipe, not pipe itself.

 

No, I didn't like art classes at school. Although that's from where Totallympics Media logo evolved after about ten years.

Off we go....love the guys who have hired a cherry picker to watch.

 

Windy day in Lavillenie’s Garden Stadium.  Would not be a good time for his neighbours to do any nude sunbathing.

 

Busy evening if you are the person responsible for updating Norway’s National Records In Seldom-Run Events.

 

Now does Warholm’s time count as a WR?  My understanding has always been that a WR must be set in an actual competition to be valid.

And a WR (well, World's Best officially  )

I'm calling it. Team pursuit in the Olympics!
