Noticed this yesterday. Would not be the first time some Government Minister's relation has been given a free holiday like this.

Barbora Mokošová (our flagbearer) did qualify to the finals in both her apparatus she competed in here (UB & BB). Medals are probably out of reach but still Happy for her that she achieved such nice results :)

Another positive news arrived from Athletics: A couple of hours after her silver in the 100 dash, Viki Forster advanced in the 100 Hurdles to the semifinals, Also Ján Volko who came to Chengdu only for the 200m advanced from the heats to the semis.

 

 

On other side, Quite hard luck for Daniela Ledecká who finished 4th in the W 400 Hurdles :( also Matej Balúch in the M 400 Hurdles missed the final very nearly finishing 9th (1st under the cut) and our W Tennis pair who lost to the host in the quarterfinal.

Viktória Forster (again) this time in the 100 Hurdles. Won with a time of 12.72 to set another her new NR and thanks legal wind +1.0, should be also the Paris 2024 standard.

 

Way to go Viki ! We proud of you.

The plot thickens!

 

 

The chairwoman of the Somali Athletics Federation has been accused of abusing her power and defaming Somalia. 

 

Khadijo Aden Dahir was stood down following a meeting between the country's sport's ministry and its National Olympic Committee.

 

Their preliminary investigation also found that a sports body known as the Somali University Sports Association does not exist.

Catching up with athletics from last night - :INDguy in the decathlon called Stalin Joe Stephen.  Guessing that’s not one of the old Sanskrit names.  :mumble:

Such names are common in South India especially on the Southern India - Goa, Coastal Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu. I know many people who have 4 and even 5 words in their name. The presence of Portugese can be attributed to that. Stalin, however  is a Tamil surname, the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu state is MK Stalin.
