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.

    • The answer for this question: russians are not going to stop. I know very well their geopolitical doctrines: they want all the territory of Ukraine (terrirtory and resources) to reestablish empire. I read Dugin and Dugin was in charge of the higher educations of russian diplomats. Having Ukrainian resources they would be able to go further west. Our slow retreat helps to save soldiers and win time. Russians are using "meat attacks". We cannot do the same.   One little and important correction - they do not capture but destroy the cities.  Ukrainian cities captured during Worl War II remained the cities. Bakhmut and others are totally ruined.
    • They have split up the Cortina cluster into three different locations for the ceremony
    • Goggia hasn't been herself in the downhill for four years and her losses on the flat splits are enormous. Nothing has changed in another season. Now Vonn has also arrived, in great form... Brignone was probably Italy's best chance for gold in the giant slalom, but because of that damn injury, it's unclear whether she'll even start. In the giant slalom Brignone in last year's form, was much better than Robinson or Scheib, while Vonn and Schiffrin dominate elsewhere. The last time Goggia was in top form was at the beginning of the 2021/2022 season, before her crash in Cortina. In that time, she excelled on every track and split and now she's almost 1 second behind the Austrians on the flat sections...
    • But unfortunettly they'll probably capture it, just like Bakhmut, etc. Unfortunately, for the past three years, the Rus' have been slowly advancing, but they are gaining these territories—mainly in Donbas. The question is, where will they be permanently stopped? Ukraine's problem is that the eastern part is relatively flat, with no high mountains or other geographical barriers- there's the Dnieper River, but Ukraine can't retreat that far west. This reminds me a bit of the fighting on the Eastern Front in 1944-1945, when the Germans defended themselves valiantly in what is now Poland, but kept retreating. There were good fortifications in former East Prussia, plus good defensive terrain, and the Russians advanced very slowly, but eventually captured what they wanted. Fortunately, Ukraine isn't fighting on two fronts like the Germans were back then- because I'm sure that if the Germans had fought on one: east front, they would have certainly stopped the Russians somewhere- sure not in Berlin :P   I generally enjoy World War II history. I recently watched some interesting fight of the German battle for Stalingrad in 1942. There were 3 large factories there and the Germans almost captured them all. They very nearly captured the city, and by September 1942, Hitler was practically certain it would fall.
    • I know you're joking, but that wouldn't even work because that day is the Super Bowl.  So NBC will only have coverage on the broadcast network until Noon ET and then will have a shortened primetime show and late night after the game.  Which means they'll have to condense Vonn in the downhill and the final day of the team figure skating event into that brodacast
    • Geez Men's Team Sprint Final extremely gravity-affected, fallers all over the place.   Catastrophic 2nd place for  behind Lord God Almighty.
