An impressive eight national records set in Paris.

 

Men's & Women's - 400 m

Men's & Women's - 1500 m

Women's - 3000 m steeplechase

Men's, Women's & Mixed - 4×400 m relays 

 

Also the only country to medal in all five relays thanks to the US's  ongoing problems in the men's 4×100 m relay!

 

On the downside our field event performances continue to decline with the solitary exception of Jacob Fincham-Dukes who excelled himself with a fifth place finish in the LJ.

As always, plenty of medals for :GBR in Turkey this morning.  We did not manage a medal for every single runner, which we have done a couple of times before, but certainly either a team or individual medal in every single race.

I know not technically GB related but it's always nice to have a laugh before they get it horribly wrong.

    • I'm attempting to create a medal projector for the 2026 Olympics. Instead of just listing the top 3 favourites I wanted to give a percentage athletes have to win a medal. My first events completed were downhill, here are the top 10.   Men's Downhill Athlete Gold Silver Bronze Total  Marco Odermatt 17% 14% 10% 41%  Franjo Von Allmen 17% 11% 9% 37%  Alexis Monney 10% 9% 9% 28%  Miha Hrobat 8% 9% 8% 25%  Cameron Alexander 7% 9% 7% 23%  Vincent Kriechmayr 7% 7% 6% 20%  Justin Murisier 6% 7% 6% 19%  Dominik Paris 5% 5% 6% 16%  Daniel Hemetsberger 5% 4% 5% 14%  James Crawford 3% 4% 5% 12%     Women's Downhill Athlete Gold Silver Bronze Total  Sofia Goggia 27% 15% 12% 54%  Ester Ledecka 13% 11% 9% 33%  Cornelia Huetter 12% 11% 8% 31%  Federica Brignone 11% 12% 11% 34%  Lauren Macuga 9% 9% 8% 26%  Lara Gut-Behrami 6% 8% 9% 23%  Breezy Johnson 5% 7% 7% 19%  Corinne Suter 5% 7% 6% 18%  Laura Pirovano 2% 3% 5% 10%  Marta Bassino 2% 3% 4% 9%   In order to prevent my computer from dying I only ran the simulation 1000 times so no tenth of a percentage is listed. For nations with many athletes I just took the four highest ranked athletes as per event rules and removed the rest. Eventually as NOCs announce their teams I can refine it properly.   Any surprises?

    • They did what the Italians should do, but unfortunately Giacomel has been too inconsistent this season. He has great performances but makes inexplicable mistakes. In any case, Italian biathlon without Vittozzi in great form can count on single podiums at major events at best, nothing more.
