Athletics at the Summer Olympic Games 2016


Recommended Posts

Serious question: with the US distance performance these games (medals in every men's distance event besides the 10000m) what are the chances that the US is catching up with West Africa?

Salazar and Brown will make all of your runners champions at long distances  http://www.si.com/olympics/2016/06/28/usada-investigation-alberto-salazar-doctor-jeffrey-brown-nike

Not big. Centrowitz isn't exactly a new name suddenly rising to the top and the same can be said for Rupp. I don't see any reason to believe USA will beat West Africa across the board in distance running within the next 10-15 years or so (after that it's of course impossible to say and obiously 10 years from now is impossible to say as well, but anyway :p )

Just to clarify, I said west but clearly meant East Africa

Ah yeah I didn't even notice that, so my answer stays the same :p

Do you understand how ironic it is for a Russian to accuse anyone else of being a cheater?

    • Italy also has many more judo clubs than wrestling. Our most recent medalists in wrestling were naturalized Cubans: Chamizo and Conyedo. Women's wrestling in Italy is at a very low level.

    • I think it has to do with the depth in plenty of other countries, unlike Wrestling, and Judo tournaments systems in Europe and Asia, and the schedule is more dense then wrestling and of course the exposure of it in the Free JudoTV system and broadcasting and advertising and crowd support unlike UWW where it’s barely exists, I mean for my NOC I would have love to see more Wrestlers but again its less common and exposed to the public so you need to know it from your local sports club 
    • Puripol Boonson running the 60m was a pleasant surprise for me
    • Tajmuraz European champion for the crazy 5th time in a row   edit: My bad, actually not in a row, last year he won bronze. He was champion in 2021-2024    
    • Love the beach feel of the 3x3 basketball tournament. Oh wait...
