Oops, got drawn to the wrong thread, but here goes, Kenyan Olympic trials are over:

 

035e34a2d7.png

 

Main things are of course in the middle-to-long distances:

 

Women's 800m: Wambui beats Sum and will likely battle it out with Semenya and Niyonsaba for the medals in Rio. 

Women's 5k: Apparently Obiri has really made the move from 1500m to 5k now, with success.

Women's 10k: Aprot didn't run in the trials, but got a wild card thanks to her solo 30:26 in Durban last week.

 

Men's 800m: Kipketer ( :bowdown:) for basically the first time ever showed a good tactical race and won ahead of Rotich, while Rudisha surprisingly had to give it everything in the last meters to get the third and final spot... (while in the semi's he was still clearly the best)

Men's 1500m: No Silas Kiplagat, did I miss him falling back in form or something?

Men's 3000m steeple: Birech surprisingly didn't even finish the race, while Kemboi will go for his umpteenth major gold joined by the two Kipruto's.

Markus Rehm won't compete at the Olympics, which is now finally certain:

Probably for the best. I hope he defends his Paralympic gold :)

Anybody know why Asli Cakir Alptekin is back competing again despite there being another 4 years until her doping ban ends?

Ran a 1500m last night in Istanbul.

There has been no announcement on her return

Riste Pandev (100m) and Drita Islami (400) will represent :MKD in Rio.

 

They really don't have a better female athlete than 400m runner whose PB is 59 seconds? :facepalm:


Looks like nobody cares about sport there. Their Olympic team is on par with Andorra, the difference being that Andorra has 85 000 people while Macedonia has 2 million...

Which, I think, is not that much worse than a 100m runner who would even have trouble reaching the women's final judging on this year's results.

    • China Media Group (CMG) will broadcast all 116 gold medal events of the Milan Winter Olympics live on CCTV-1, CCTV-5, CCTV-5+ and CCTV-16. It will also use technologies such as 4K/8K ultra-high definition to enhance the viewing experience. Live broadcasts of all events will be carried out from 16:00 Beijing time to 06:00 the next day.
    • The strength of the UK is that they are 100% focused on the track, while Italy must to navigate between the track and the road: the line-up is different for practically every event, etc. Paternoster should focus 100% on the track; she won't win anything big on the road anymore. As it is, she's weak both there and there. The situation is different with Balsamo, as she's also having significant success on the road and likely earns the most money there.
    • Discovery+ in the UK have also got their schedule up now.     I notice that only thing listed as being in UHD is the Opening Ceremony though....     
    • The problem over the last few years was that no-one was able to keep pace with the big Katie Archibald turns. Looks to be sorted now.  
    • The women's top 50 is so crammed with athletes from the same five nations that it is not inconceivable they are unable to fill the full quota from the top 50, in which case a third double spot would open up between USA/BEL/GBR
    • That women's pursuit team looks brutally fast. Batter you over the head into submission brutal, perhaps not seen since the early Trott-Rowsell days The 4 minute barrier could be on borrowed time.   The two British women sprinters Finucane and Caldwell also look pretty ominous, indeed the whole women's sprint team looks in some shape and with some depth to get that result without Finucane   Work to do for the British men's teams, but they won't be unhappy either, not to mention Joe Truman's unexpected Kilo win.
    • I prefer to do mine like this guy (https://app.podiumsport.it/) does his "Projected Medals" as probability based rather than straight medal picking... all things being equal, conversion rates should be about the same and the outliers come out in the wash. Unfortunately most people just like medal picking, and think any other approach is weird  
    • So probably: Men Oceania: Americas: Africa: Asia: One of  Europe: One of Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (probably not)  and whichever countries don’t qualify from Asian Games.  Universality: ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of the above in World Rankings    and one of  (most likely) or  seem safe with two quotas. The other will be favourites if a third team gets allocated two.    Women Oceania: Europe: One of Americas:  /  if US is ineligible due to their host quota, if the host quota gets reallocated then Canada will be in contention in the rankings Africa:   Asia: One of   Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (x1?)  (x1/2)  (x1/2), whichever doesn’t qualify out of  / ,  and  ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of above.  Universality: ?    is safe with two quotas between  it’ll be tough for whoever misses out of those three.   nevermind , 
    • The rankings look likely to give two spots each in the men's side to Egypt (2nd athlete at 3) and GB (second athlete at 9). the nearest contender after that is France and both Egypt and GB have plenty of contenders after their respective number 2 but before France's umber 2   Women's side looks a bit more of a battle, with Egypt again likely to provide 2, and then a fight between USA, GBR and BEL for the other lucky double spot. That said, so dominant are the Egyptians, Americans and Brits, that failing to find all the contenders in the top 50 is entirely plausible, possibly opening a third 'double' spot.
    • I'd done my final revisions on my prediction spreadsheets.. and I'm sticking with 26 for Canada.    Take it to the bank! (But don't sign anything)
