Athletics at the Summer Olympic Games 2016


Recommended Posts

Aah damn it, the adoration of Schippers on Dutch TV is getting just as annoying as the Mo Farah adoration on BBC :lol:

 

"An hour to the final of Dafne..she's warming up in the stadium."

"Half an hour to fhe final of Dafne, let's go back and take a look at her races in Rio so far." (for God's sake, show the long jump final :facepalm:)

I know, I turned to BBC and within 1 minute they started some kind of annoying documentary about Adam Gemili :lol:

 

Come on, do that in the morning or something, not when there's live sport.

 

Therefore: :thumbup: for Belgian TV, they're showing everything and haven't been back to the studio for a single second this athletics session :)

    • Regarding the swimming they have added the 800m for men and the 1500m for women so cutting numbers would be odd. 
    • That quota I’ve been told by an athlete aiming to qualify who I know online. 
    • Has the quota for Canada been offically confirmed anyway, or is that just a rumour? I can't find anything on google about it (nor the suggested quota for England's athletes someone posted earlier).   12 per gender would make sense (it's roughly what Canada sent to Birmingham). 12 overall seems dumb.
    • Some sports have qualification systems   3x3 basketball (wheelchair) Para-cycling Powerlifting Weightlifting
    • In the past few games, Canada (and other nations) was given an overall athlete quota which they then divided it through the various sports.
    • Whose decision was this, Team Canada's or the Organising committes?
