Was just thinking that must be the shortest PV final in athletics history. Good that officials are allowing athletes to celebrate with their family, doesn’t always happen..

dcro 10,186 Posted August 2, 2022 #1003 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Will Kennedy conveniently bomb oit for a shared gold at 4.45? Barshim-Tamberi is an ugly, ugly precedent. intoronto 1 #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olympian1010 7,490 Posted August 2, 2022 #1004 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Taylor gets into the men’s 50m free final. in as well. Probably the most diverse swimming final of the Games. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

I don’t think we’ll ever see eye to eye on that one. Kennedy got over at 4.60m by the way. I believe she’s going to make an attempt at the GR. “Sport has the power to change the world.

dcro 10,186 Posted August 2, 2022 #1006 Share Posted August 2, 2022 With all due respect to the discus finalists here, this is probably how the U12 championships played out back in the day of 74 m throws. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last three (at least) Olympic gold medalists and current world champion in the men’s javelin are from the Commonwealth. There are definitely weak events across the Commonwealth though. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.
