As expected, the women's javelin final has the level of a youth tournament basically.

And yet Viljoen, Mitchell, and Spotakova are all in their 30's :d

Semenya and Wambui... athletics needs new rules to filter these out. Is this how IAAF wants athletics to develop?

 

Also sick of Bahrain, Turkey, Spain and Italy teams.

Well not the IAAF's fault. They did filter it out but the CAS overuled them... which is ridiculous.

The problem is that it's a very delicate matter. It's not as simple as "ban all of them from competing", but the current situation isn't good neither. I hope Semenya runs something like 1:52 in the final, because maybe, just maybe, that would serve as a wake-up call that something is going wrong.

Wow, everyone is putting up an atrocity of a javelin final, but then there's young Sara Kolak throwing 66.18 :d 

 

Well, it's not a big distance...but the best so far :d

      Today,  Thomas Ceccon pulled out from his beloved 100m back and surprisingly decided to swim the 100m fly   and he won the race in a good, but not exceptional 51.26 (PB, in any case) ahead of Matthew Temple (51.51 for the Australian record holder)

      Here's all the confirmed NHLers so far that I could find. Some big names are going.

Sidney Crosby is considering.    Czechia Filip Hronek, D (Vancouver Canucks) Jakub Lauko, F (Boston Bruins) Karel Vejmelka, G (Utah Hockey Club) Dan Vladar, G (Calgary Flames)   David Pastrnak is possible    Finland Justus Annunen, G (Nashville Predators) Juuso Parssinen, F (New York Rangers) Juuse Saros, G (Nashville Predators) Teuvo Teravainen, F (Chicago Blackhawks) Eeli Tolvanen, F (Seattle Kraken)    Germany Philipp Grubauer, G (Seattle Kraken) Moritz Seider, D (Detroit Red Wings)    Sweden Rasmus Andersson, D (Calgary Flames) Mikael Backlund, F (Calgary Flames) Leo Carlsson, F (Anaheim Ducks) William Eklund, F (San Jose Sharks) Filip Forsberg, F (Nashville Predators) Adam Larsson, D (Seattle Kraken) Isac Lundestroem, F (Anaheim Ducks) Marcus Pettersson, D (Vancouver Canucks) Alexander Wennberg, F (San Jose Sharks)   Mika Zibanejad is also likely.

      Regarding the swimming they have added the 800m for men and the 1500m for women so cutting numbers would be odd.
