Mika Sosna the under 20 world record holder opens his season with 59.98,5th best throw as the second month of the season begins.good for him to have a normal opener since he had no mark in his first two comps last year,then went  right out to his pb of 65.57 and simply couldn't back that up when it mattered,high 62 in a few german comps,no mark to finish the season at the german championships.Perhaps a more stable first start to the year will set the right tone this time.

Live stream for Beskydska Latka (WA Indoor Tour Silver) in Trinec, Czech Republic! 

 

This event is high jump only, but a solid field nonetheless. On the women’s side the heavy favourite is Kazakhstani national record holder Safina Sadullayeva, who has a PB of 1.97m. Much deeper field in terms of quality on the men’s side with Cuban Luis Enrique Zayas (2.33m PB), German Tobias Potye (2.34m PB), American Shelby McEwen (2.33m PB), and Pole Norbert Kobielski (2.33m PB) all expected to be in the mix.

I’ll try to search for a worldwide non geo-blocked stream, will update the post if I find one. 

 

Only men’s pole vault at this meet, but this could very much be an Olympic final, a lot of the big guns are entered.

    • One of my favorite songs from the early 2000s that I listened to on a cassette on my walkman      
    • For me 20 medals will be good. And if more there are? Super. However, I prefer not to get my hopes up too much, so as not to be disappointed later.
    • If you're still taking suggestions, I tought the following:   Team Madison format.   17 teams of 2 "riders", randomly drawn. Teams can be named for famous "endurance" track cyclists. 4 intermediate "sprints", one after a voting block, in which the top 8 teams will score according to this formula: (10, 8, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1). The order in which team score for a sprint are determined by the total number of "medals" won by both members of the team during the block. Ranking will be sorted according to the number of gold medals, then silver, then bronze. If there's two or more teams with same number of points, the medals of best individual performer of each team will be considered to break the tie. If the tie remains, then team's total points during the block will be used to break it. If the team fails to receive a single medal during each block, it will be considered to "lose lap" and 20 points will be substracted from their score. If the team fails to score at least 1 point during each block, it will be an automatic DNF for the team. If both members of the team get a medal from a single jury, it will be considered to "gain lap" and 20 points will be added to their score. A team can only win an additional lap per voting block. After the 4 intermediate, a "final" sprint will be recorded, in which points will be doubled (20, 16, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4 & 2). Ranking for the final sprint will take into account the total medals won during the event.   What do you think?
    • I don't medal pick, per se... I assign probabilities/expected-values and total them up. So I don't have a gold medal estimate... but if you want one, divide those numbers by three and you'll be pretty close!   I imagine Norway, Italy and Netherlands and maybe Canada will probably skew a bit higher on golds, and US, Germany, and Sweden will skew a little lower... so maybe: Norway - 14 US - 11 Germany - 11 Italy - 11 Canada - 10 Austria - 8 Netherlands - 8 Japan - 7 Sweden - 6 France.- 6   I was surprised seeing Italy come in that high, I was figuring 22-23, but I guess they've been do well on the World Cups. 
    • If you were to predict top- 10 for the number of gold medals, what would it look like?     For me, as an Italian, any result for Italy: +20 medals would be OK (if that will include 6-7 gold medals). The trauma of Turin 2006 is too great
    • Doesn't really help that two of the strongest countries in that particular sport are banned from the team event for well known reasons.
    • Just another reason why it's super dumb that the NOC max in freestyle skiing isn't 40.
    • In rugby there's More Squidge Rugby (the main channel has proper videos).
