: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

But come on, if you and I have a similar deal and I lose, I'd wear a Canadian jersey with my chin up and not try to hide it :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:

Start lists and timetables for Brussels on Friday and Saturday.  Sydney McLaughlin is squeezed in between the Wheelchair Races and the Flemish U-13 Girls 100m Exhibition. :p

    • I love that it is more straightforward in relation to the number of quotas and does not allow possible problems as it was in Tokyo and Paris.
    • I love the judo qualification system, for me is the best in all disciplines. It combines a strong circuit, and it allows 100 or so countries to participate in.   So, maybe, if UWW does its job properly, it will be a good thing.
    • China Media Group (CMG) will broadcast all 116 gold medal events of the Milan Winter Olympics live on CCTV-1, CCTV-5, CCTV-5+ and CCTV-16. It will also use technologies such as 4K/8K ultra-high definition to enhance the viewing experience. Live broadcasts of all events will be carried out from 16:00 Beijing time to 06:00 the next day.
    • The strength of the UK is that they are 100% focused on the track, while Italy must to navigate between the track and the road: the line-up is different for practically every event, etc. Paternoster should focus 100% on the track; she won't win anything big on the road anymore. As it is, she's weak both there and there. The situation is different with Balsamo, as she's also having significant success on the road and likely earns the most money there.
    • Discovery+ in the UK have also got their schedule up now.     I notice that only thing listed as being in UHD is the Opening Ceremony though....     
    • The problem over the last few years was that no-one was able to keep pace with the big Katie Archibald turns. Looks to be sorted now.  
    • The women's top 50 is so crammed with athletes from the same five nations that it is not inconceivable they are unable to fill the full quota from the top 50, in which case a third double spot would open up between USA/BEL/GBR
    • That women's pursuit team looks brutally fast. Batter you over the head into submission brutal, perhaps not seen since the early Trott-Rowsell days The 4 minute barrier could be on borrowed time.   The two British women sprinters Finucane and Caldwell also look pretty ominous, indeed the whole women's sprint team looks in some shape and with some depth to get that result without Finucane   Work to do for the British men's teams, but they won't be unhappy either, not to mention Joe Truman's unexpected Kilo win.
    • I prefer to do mine like this guy (https://app.podiumsport.it/) does his "Projected Medals" as probability based rather than straight medal picking... all things being equal, conversion rates should be about the same and the outliers come out in the wash. Unfortunately most people just like medal picking, and think any other approach is weird  
    • So probably: Men Oceania: Americas: Africa: Asia: One of  Europe: One of Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (probably not)  and whichever countries don’t qualify from Asian Games.  Universality: ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of the above in World Rankings    and one of  (most likely) or  seem safe with two quotas. The other will be favourites if a third team gets allocated two.    Women Oceania: Europe: One of Americas:  /  if US is ineligible due to their host quota, if the host quota gets reallocated then Canada will be in contention in the rankings Africa:   Asia: One of   Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (x1?)  (x1/2)  (x1/2), whichever doesn’t qualify out of  / ,  and  ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of above.  Universality: ?    is safe with two quotas between  it’ll be tough for whoever misses out of those three.   nevermind ,
