Athletics at the Summer Olympic Games 2016

i think swimming and beach volleyball is all NBC, but i dont see how nbc would want some finals in the morning, it's not like those finals are american-less, after all christian taylor, the 3000m steeplechase runners, and 400 hurdles for men tomorrow.

 

And i think Taylor could've broke the world record under the right conditions (night time) after seeing how close he got last year in beijing

And with more proper competition...the absence of Pedro Pablo Pichardo, the only man who can realistically beat him, made that final one of the most boring I've seen instead of one of the most exciting (what I was hoping for)..really a shame :(

Will Claye is a great competition to him, i remember sitting in the first row in the Prefontaine Classic and seeing them beat each other last few jumps, it was a real classic between those 2 (and i was sitting right at the line of the sand)

Yeah, that is not true, no one likes Bolt. ;)

I know, but Pichardo is the only one who can truly push him towards that WR (and Taylor is the only one who can push PPP towards the WR), Claye is great, but not 18+ great like Taylor and PPP :)

    • Sweden can be expected to reject one male quota as Robin Olgard injured his knee the day after he got his ticket 
    • but you certainly bought heavy weapons from USA ,with password of 24h-48h required  anyway hungary is not taking part of this conflict until now 
    • Maybe Switzerland, only Amy Baserga and Lea Meier fullfilled the criteria, but maybe we will send a relay if Lena Häcki gets a top 25 Place today. But we have 5 Quotas, so maybe we will reject 1-2
    • I am confused about how the qualifying works for the non-qualified nations (so the top-12 individual athletes). Wikipedia keeps a ranking of them since IBU themselves doesn't, and usually on Wiki these things are quite correct. However, things have been moving around so weirdly in the past few weeks. Like Gaia Brunello and Darcie Morton have been moving in and out of the top-12 with Gaia's points remaining the same, but Darcie's points going from 90 something to 120 something and back....and now she is in again and Gaia is out again. So apparently one can actually also lose points?
    • Stage 15 in Sapporo (JPN)   Men´s Individual Large Hill:   1.  Domen Prevc    277.7 2. Ryoyu Kobayashi    274.2 3. Daniel Tschofenig    265.8   Full Final Result HERE
    • Sunday January 18th, 2026   Knockout Round Last Day Schedule   Bronze Medal Match Atlantic Standard Time (GMT -4)   Czechia vs Sweden Period-by-Period: January 18th 2026, h. 15:30, Centre 200, Sydney     Gold Medal Match Atlantic Standard Time (GMT -4)   United States vs Canada Period-by-Period: January 18th 2026, h. 19:30, Centre 200, Sydney
    • Here's a comparison relative to 2024 (I removed the new team sports to make it more comparable). This ignores Belarus and Russia.   Largest Increases Relative to 2024 1.  +58 2.  +44 3. +31 4.  +29 4.  +29 6.  +28 7.  +27 8.  +24 9.  +22 10.  +21 10.  +21   Unsurprisingly, the United States is expected to see the largest increase thanks to host quotas. It's not as massive as previous host nations, but that's because they don't need host quotas for most sports. South Africa is looking at a big increase, but only if they accept the water polo quotas this time around.     Largest Decreases Relative to 2024 1.  -135 2.  -43 3.  -38 4.  -33 5.  -31 6.  -29 7.  -28 8.  -26 8.  -26 10.  -23 10.  -23   Again, no surprise to see France topping the list as they no longer benefit from host quotas. Ireland takes heavy losses not only by losing two large team events, but is generally down in most sports. Interestingly, Italy has the same number of large team events, but it's the drop in athletics and rowing which caused it to be so high up in the list.
