:roflmao:Swiss judges a bit weak on Kambunji there!

Not exactly, still a DQ, but running under protest is far from new or unusual. I think I'd always do that, even knowing you're going to get a DQ it's better than not running at all probably.

Bah!  Get the nearest armed guard and drag them off in handcuffs, say I.  :stop:

Warholm standing around with a Norwegian flag around his Swedish jersey, that is weak man. Sore loser :p 

I would be a sore loser too if I lost a race and had to wear a Swedish kit :p

Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone Will Not Be Allowed To Compete In Diamond League 200m/400m Finals

Aha, so THIS is what it's all about!  Brussels organisers had persuaded SLL to come to Brussels, but World Athletics insist she can't compete. So they are laying on extra races for her to do.

Yeah, this hasn't exactly been a secret :d 

 

It's not like she isn't allowed to compete in Brussels, she just can't compete in the DL races due to ignoring the DL all year long.

No word if she will put in a special appearance as Smurfette.  :mumble:

    • Unfortunate, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm looking forward to Thursday evening, when the team captain's meeting is over and we have our very first World Cup start list of the season. Always a cool moment to see who's there and everything  
    • Today I unpacked some of the boxes in which we have put my way too many books to move to our house, and I came across these beauty's I hadn't seen for a while     Absolutely recommended, tough to get for a decent price, but they are such an interesting read with lots of very interesting little stories! Still looking for at least 1900, 1904 and 1906, but not really in the right moment to spend money on that now, so the wait goes on  
    • Which I guess is part of why unfortunately 'our' first wild card attempt of the season was rejected last week  
    • The next chapter in the Krasnobaeva saga is upon us.   Looks like  Armenia have cut ties with her after only a few weeks. A person from their Federation has said, that they won't continue the relationship, because of her unprofessional and rude attitude towards the coaches and other officials. That includes: - having no respect to the coaches and their advise; - training without any motivation; - stops doing the routine and throws objects without any reason; - just lays on the floor and ignores the music.   When this was escalated with her mother, she mentioned that "Elvira has a strong temper and she was the same in Bulgaria and they tolerated her". Which of course is complete BS. If anyone attempted this shit here, they would be thrown out immediately.   And now  are wanting from her mother to return all finances they gave them, which she is refusing, so they will probably sue them. They will also inform other RG Federations about this situation, so they don't hire them.   My 2 cents on this is most likely Krasnobaeva was happy in BG and was forced out by her mother, so now she is sabotaging the move and be done with it.
    • Honestly Ruka is my favourite World Cup event of the whole season. Everybody is there. Later on there is always someone who skips one weekend or another . Not everybody takes part in Tour de ski. But here everyone shows up.
