This is probably not the place to post this but I've just been told this story and I can't help myself.

 

Question - Why was there no marathon at the 1974 Asian Games despite there being one in 1970 and 1978?

Now, I am curious. Why ? :d

The Games were held in Teheran, Iran.

The leader of the country at the time, the Shah of Iran, objected to holding the marathon because the legend of the messenger running to Athens from the Battle of Marathon celebrated a Persian/Iranian military defeat.

Probably a mediocre mark by his standards, but :BUR Hugues Fabrice Zango 17.21m for the win in the men’s triple jump :yes :wub::wub:

The 2nd position is more important than first

More discus updates,this time from :JAM.Fedrick Dacres And Chad Wright open the season with 64.49 and 64.25.But the biggest stunner is teammate Travis Smikle taking over the world lead with 67.57 and going past the qualfying mark for the olympics[his equal 3 best result ever].However he had an even greater start last year[A Pb]and it didn't amount to anything when it mattered,we'll see how it turns out for him in the olympic year.

    • Also it being illegal in France means the IOC will have to test everyone pre arriving at 2030 and can’t wait till they arrive at the Games to do so. I’m sure at 2028 for some sports testing will happen on site if it’s not a rule of its governing body for non Olympic events. So far only a few sports like Athletics and Boxing have that rule - I suspect others will adopt it but others might take time. 
    • https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/olympics/articles/cpwj78lxypro ‘In France - one of a number of countries where genetic testing is illegal without a medical prescription due to privacy laws - the government has condemned the decision as "a step backwards". "It defines the female sex without taking into account the biological specificities of intersex individuals, whose sexual characteristics present natural variations, leading to a reductive and potentially stigmatising approach," ⁠claimed French Sports Minister Marina Ferrari.”   ‘A group of legal experts in human rights and sports have since expressed, external"urgent concern" about what they called "the regressive move toward genetic testing as a precondition of participation in women's sport" which they say "violate domestic and international laws that protect human rights and regulate the use of genetic testing and genetic information".  The group has called on athletes "to challenge the national or regional implementation of mandatory genetic sex testing, demanded by the IOC or international federations, before domestic courts, by invoking national or regional laws protecting human rights, prohibiting anti-discrimination, and regulating the use of genetic testing and genetic data".’   Domestic laws are more challenging for the IOC to deal with than CAS. Things could get complicated for a bit. 
    • Except NOC’s and governing bodies have to still follow local laws. Particularly for Under 18’s there could certainly be domestic legal issues regarding associations paying for travel to other counties to circumvent a domestic ban. Child protection services don’t always act reasonable to attempts to break a domestic law.
