Why? Harting or Jasinski are super fit, they same is true for most athletes in javelin throw or someone like Storl.

I never said that those disciplines should be cut, i just dont want overweight athletes to win. I have absolutely no problem with Adams winning womens shot put.

 

Javelin is the reason I wrote most ;)

Adams is pretty overweight as well.

Expected win for Farah, i just hope that mens 10000 m will be cut soon, no one needs 5000 m and 10000 m.

Its always funny to see Farah pretending that he is really exhausted.

I understand that the best african runners focus on road racing, but are there really no better african runners ... ?

You really have to give credit to Farah, he knows that he would be chanceless against the other african guys in road racing, so he focuses on 5000/10000 m and tries to become a legend there.

I dont care whether he is the most beautiful or most ugly person in the world, i just dont want overweight people to win gold at the olympics. Its not good for a sport and they arent good role models for kids.

well, i meant his overweight and as result his outlook, but he`s still great

I fell in love with sports.....since i first seen it

I think Ennis should still be pretty safe to win the silver. The fight for bronze could really get interesting.

 

Ennis-Hill and Theisen-Eaton are both much, much better at the 800m than everyone else in contention.  And there are lots of points available in the race.

    • Unfortunate, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm looking forward to Thursday evening, when the team captain's meeting is over and we have our very first World Cup start list of the season. Always a cool moment to see who's there and everything  
    • Today I unpacked some of the boxes in which we have put my way too many books to move to our house, and I came across these beauty's I hadn't seen for a while     Absolutely recommended, tough to get for a decent price, but they are such an interesting read with lots of very interesting little stories! Still looking for at least 1900, 1904 and 1906, but not really in the right moment to spend money on that now, so the wait goes on  
    • Which I guess is part of why unfortunately 'our' first wild card attempt of the season was rejected last week  
    • The next chapter in the Krasnobaeva saga is upon us.   Looks like  Armenia have cut ties with her after only a few weeks. A person from their Federation has said, that they won't continue the relationship, because of her unprofessional and rude attitude towards the coaches and other officials. That includes: - having no respect to the coaches and their advise; - training without any motivation; - stops doing the routine and throws objects without any reason; - just lays on the floor and ignores the music.   When this was escalated with her mother, she mentioned that "Elvira has a strong temper and she was the same in Bulgaria and they tolerated her". Which of course is complete BS. If anyone attempted this shit here, they would be thrown out immediately.   And now  are wanting from her mother to return all finances they gave them, which she is refusing, so they will probably sue them. They will also inform other RG Federations about this situation, so they don't hire them.   My 2 cents on this is most likely Krasnobaeva was happy in BG and was forced out by her mother, so now she is sabotaging the move and be done with it.
    • Honestly Ruka is my favourite World Cup event of the whole season. Everybody is there. Later on there is always someone who skips one weekend or another . Not everybody takes part in Tour de ski. But here everyone shows up.
