Meanwhile in Madrid, Mitku Tafa :ETH attacked almost immediately, opened a more than 2-minute gap on the chasers (and the track record) and then was absolutely and utterly destroyed in the last few kilometers....but he managed to hang on and somehow finish with a few seconds of advantage left on the chasers :d 

 

Now that's bravery being rewarded!

10.11 and 10.14 is basically tied to you? :d
 

For a 100m, that margin is not very small IMO. 

no, they both ran 10.11 (with a 3/1000 advantage for Bromell at the photofinish) :evil:

 

10.14 is the time of the 3rd ranked, :CHN Xie Zhenye

Despite last night's 100m performance in the US being wind assisted I think Rhasidat Adeleke of :IRL is now a serious threat for a medal at either 200m or 400m

Some very promising results from some of our Greek youngsters yesterday:

 

In the men's hammer throw, where we already have Anastasakis and Frantzeskakis 99% qualified for Paris, and I was hoping Zaltos or Ntousakis could join them, now we had 19 yo Mantzouranis improve his PB from 73.85 to 75.55 (and before this season he only had 70.71), 20 yo Polychroniou improved his PB from 72.98 (from last week) to 75.24. Also 20 yo Korakidis improved his PB from 70.97 to 72.03.

 

In the men's discus, 20 yo Pavlidis, who set our men's NR out of nowhere last year with 64.90 despite never going over 59m in other competitions, is now getting back to that level and showing it wasn't a fluke, with 59.69 earlier this month, then 60.68 last week, and now 63.72 yesterday! 63.72 still would've been our NR had he not gotten it last year.

 

In the women's pole vault, 23 yo Adamopoulou achieved a new PB of 4.50 after her previous PB was 4.37 indoors from 2021 (and 4.25 outdoors from 2020). She was really promising for us a few years ago and had some injury problems but it's good to see her back at a high level, she had 4.35 indoors this year so who knows, maybe she can even sneak into our Olympic team if Kyriakopoulou can't take the third spot. Then we also had 15 yo Boumpoulidi with a new PB of 4.25 (she had 4.20 indoors this year and 4.00 outdoors from last year).

Hope she continues to focus on the 400 for now. She's definitely got a run deep in the 48 zone in her.

Yeah, I'd concur with that right now. Whilst the 100m/200m has been impressive, she would have to find the time she did this weekend in much stiller air to likely challenge the 100m podium. And in the 200m, she would probably need to lose something close to 0.4 as a minimum from her PB to get on that podium.

 

Her 49.20 400m PB is still the most impressive run she's got under her belt for me. That time in itself is already podium worthy.

well, that's not what the most important italian website reported :yikes: :facepalm:

 

however, it doesn't change much...just say De Grasse instead of Bromell, in any case what really matters is that Jacobs was second, just a fraction (3/1000) behind the eventual winner ;)

It shows on the link you posted that they both finished 10.11 and were separated by 3 thousands of a second.

 

Edit: Ahh ok, you mean it was De Grasse who won not Bromell.

    • 2028 Team Size Projection – Jan 2026 Update   Here’s an update to my 2028 Team Size Projection. While I touch upon major events changes may occur due to results in smaller events. Additionally, several sports released their qualification document so there may be cases where I have to update the projection. I will only include sports where there is an update.   Here is the link to the updated sheet.     Aquatics (Water Polo) The Men’s European Championships saw take gold. The victory moved Serbia up a few places between European nations. With that said, no one fell out of Olympic qualification with the likes of France and Romania still on the outside looking in. remains on the edge.   Athletics (Marathon) Both the Xiamen and Osaka marathons were held this month along with a few other smaller events. While there were a few changes in the rankings, in terms of Olympic projections gains an athlete in the men’s marathon at the expense of   Badminton Major tournaments include the Malaysia Open and India Open. New updates which affected projections include the women’s doubles where overtook . As Polina Buhrova is also scheduled to compete in the singles event, an additional spot has been open. Other changes in the women’s singles was loses one of their quotas. and benefit from those losses.   Indonesia’s loss on the women’s side is offset by gaining a second player in the men’s singles. This puts   on the outside.   Canoeing The qualification document for both Slalom and Sprint were released/updated. No significant changes were found in the Sprint update. Slalom had significant changes relative to 2024 where the initial quotas will be decided by rankings and kayak cross will now have significant quotas being allocated. After adjustment, the following nations lost a quota; Andorra, Chinese Taipei, Ireland, New Zealand, North Macedonia, Slovakia, and Sweden. The following nations gained a quota; Canada, China, France, Italy, South Africa, Spain, and Tunisia.   Cricket The Women’s T20 World Cup Qualifier was held. No changes to the projection.   Equestrian (Dressage & Jumping) Various World Cup events were held. No changes to the projections were made.   Fencing We had two Grand Prix this month, one for epee and the other for sabre. In men’s epee, overtakes . On the women’s side, the United States moved into the top 4 in the team ranking, pushing Estonia down to fifth. This pushed out of Olympic qualification while takes the Americas quota. This caused a downstream effect on the individual side as Ukraine takes an individual quota and Canada relinquishes their quota, additionally, gained a quota while lost one.   In men’s sabre, now takes the Asian team quota pushing down to just an individual quota. No changes were found in women’s sabre.   Handball Four men’s continental championships were held this month. finished top in Africa while a couple of upsets were saw in South America and Asia where and won over and respectively. Despite their wins, they currently haven’t leapfrogged into being projected to qualify. We’ll see how they perform at the World Championships.   Europe saw finish fourth. This was enough to push it into Olympic qualification projection. They pushed out.   Rowing The qualification document was released. There was a change in boat allocation relative to 2024 and the continental qualifier was slightly different than what I projected. Additionally, I assumed coastal rowing would allow 2 men and 2 women to compete in its three events, but the max is 1 man and 1 woman. This has caused significant changes to the projections.   Overall, the United States lost four quotas. Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Lithuania, New Zealand, Norway, and Spain lost two quotas and Algeria, Argentina, Croatia, Cuba, Egypt, Kazakhstan, Netherlands, Portugal, Tunisia lost one quota.   The following nations have gained two athletes; Japan, Morocco while the following nations gained one athlete; Angola, Austria, Belgium, Chile, Chinese Taipei, Cote d’Ivoire, Denmark, Estonia, Kuwait, Latvia, Mexico, Romania, Philippines, Paraguay, Puerto Rico, South Africa, South Korea, Switzerland, Togo, Uzbekistan, Vanuatu   Rugby Sevens Fixing a couple of mistakes. First on the men, actually has the Asian quota over and in the women as is essentially shutting down the program, I think it is only right to remove them until they decide to compete again. This means is also projected to qualify.   As for new updates, we saw the third tier SVNS compete, which brought no new updates and the Singapore SVNS. I also didn’t add the Dubai or Cape Town SVNS in my calculations. For both, while there was some shuffling no one ultimately fell out.   Shooting The Asian Shotgun Championships were held this month. A few top shooters were missing. The only change to the projection is is set to qualify in women’s trap, pushing out   Squash The Tournament of Champions was held this month. Additionally, the qualification document was released. There was some restriction as to how many nations can send two players and this sport will offer universality quotas.   The following nations lost an athlete quota; Colombia, France, Great Britain, Hong Kong, Malaysia, and New Zealand. The following nations gained an athlete quota; Canada, Pakistan, Spain (x2), Switzerland, Ukraine   Triathlon The qualification document was released. There are a few changes relative to 2024. Projection changes include: Losses to Hong Kong and Slovenia and gains for Austria and China.   Weightlifting The qualification document was released. One change to be made was the reallocation process for host nation quotas. Due to this, El Salvador Iraq, Palau, Sri Lanka, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu lost quotas while Australia, China, Dominican Republic, Iran, and Samoa (x2) gained quotas.   Wrestling The qualification document was released. There were some significant changes to the qualification process including using the world rankings and the final qualifier only consisting of non-qualified nations. The projection changes are as follows; losses to Belarus, Bulgaria, China, Georgia, Germany, Hungary, Japan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Russia, South Korea, Sweden, and Turkey.   Belgium and Lithuania gained 2 quotas while American Samoa, Austria, Estonia, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Latvia, Madagascar, Spain, and Turkmenistan gained 1 quota.
    • Looks like we in the Philippines are in the same situation. No news yet on whether we’ll be able to watch the Games 
    • Cricket is any day in a better position than Baseball, Modern Pentathlon or Rowing 8s globally
    • http://i.imgur.com/gLJZbix.jpg   Honestly football is just on another level. For other sports, an expanded field or creating multiple host cities likely only works with baseball, cricket and maybe basketball, and only in very specific countries.
    • No streaming for the games in India. I contacted IOC they just sent me a list where the games will be shown live.    Last games we had the Olympic channel and YouTube showing the live coverage for regions with no media rights. This time sadly no such schedule.   So much about making the games accessible to all...
    • What revealed those files of Epstein !!!! thousands of scandals , horrible diguisting things mixing politic criminalities , robbery , scam , manipulation...etc    all those celebrities of shht that you love   
    • I wonder if instead of having flexibility around what sport to add there should be one or two team sports per game with an expanded field (of 16 or 32 or w/e) where the host gets to pick which which team sports (if any) has an expanded field.
    • Dunno if this is geoblocked, but this is from our weekly comedy show Saturday Night Live  
    • I don't buy that she's doing this just to start the race if she thinks she won't be competitive.  We'll probably know more after the training run and far be it from me to know how that's going to work with a torn ACL, but if she knows she can't do it, she'll give that spot to another skier
