I am not satisfied with this Decathlon competition I am already counting down to Tokyo 2025 world championships. Hope we have full field with Mayer, Warner, LePage , Leo & Kaul 

I believe Warner is retiring

Yes he will normally be in similar Rank 16-18th after Day 1 ( he was 20th here) but then breeze past everyone wih a fabulous Day 2 only this time although similar rank but his points total was too much make up. Very few commentators are able to identify Kaul’s strong Day 2. Most are Track specialists with very little input on other events. 

Most even try to do decathlon/heptathlon commentary without the number one resource you really, really can't go without: a forecast. I mean, a 2,10m high jump is great, but not if you're jumping 2,20m on a regular basis (for example).

I had him as a marginal favourite over Warner pre-Olympics. To see neither of them win gold is really surprising to me. 

Yeah, same. Only reason I had them for a total of like 70-80% and not 90+ is because decathlon is both so injury prone and mistake prone (think no heights, no marks, etc, as we saw with Warner unfortunately).

He had 5 PBs & 3SBs in 2 days. That is some improvement. I am shocked, but I didn’t follow the European U23 championships so maybe it was expected. But to perform at that level in 8/10 events is superb.

Again, in Rome last month he had PB'ed 3 times and SB'ed 4 times in the 8 events he took part in.

 

He hit 8600 at the Euro 23s last year. He's been an athlete on the rise. He's just risen slightly quicker than was expected. :p

You’re not factoring the long NCAA season into that?

I should have done that more than I did :d

Well, sometimes a long NCAA season isn’t always an indicator of people not being at their best at the world level, so I can see why you would value it less than you did. Take Pryce in the 400m, or Long in the 100m/200m (might be missing some names), they’ve been brilliant lately.

Massive lack of time for decent research, honestly :p

    • What are the odds WTA/ITF has Kostyuk vs Potapova AO R1 just to see if the hand shake happens? 
    • Malinin  opted for the 4-Axel in his Short Program, but faltered, landing him in 3rd thus far (and only 0.05 away from 4th!).  Surely he has the tools to rise back up in the Free Program.  (Also, perhaps this will serve to show him that he is in fact beatable.)
    • I think they incorrectly translated Ukrainian word "nahorody" - it is not a full synonym of "medal". Its cocrrect translation is "award". Meanwhile russian tennis playes switched for Potapova ->  Rakhimova ->   
    • Ukrainian diver Lyskun switches allegiance to Russia, loses all medals | Olympics News | Al Jazeera   'loses all medals'   I would assume Al Jazeera could have been a bit clearer and mention this would presumably only be national medals. I mean, it's not like the Ukrainian federation, or any single federation for that matter, has the power to strip her of her world and European championships medals I hope (not for her sake, but because that would be a super weird precedent)  
    • That's what I'd plan as well (except for MelFest), but I also know I am hypocritical enough to still want to watch the show and have a fun evening  
    • Confirmation about the broadcasting rights.   If I'm reading it right, for most of Europe it will now be exclusive to Discovery/Eurosport or whatever brand they use.     For outside Europe, it's on YouTube. For Planet VPN....well, let us know if you find out.   fil-taker-list-25-26-winterberg-1.pdf   Also, should have mentioned above that the Nations Cup races today are just over one leg, whereas there are two runs in each of the World Cup races.  
    • Got our first competition of the season coming up in Solitude, Utah  this weekend.  Live on Discovery Plus etc, plus also YouTube and the Olympic Channel.  If you are new to the sport, the sprint races on Saturday will be the format you'll find easy to understand.     ISMF   ISMF Skimo - YouTube    
    • Surely. Her first coach now works in russia (and grandma lives in russia according to Sereda). They were in contact and despite of full funding from  the girl decided to become the star of russian propaganda.  As I saw in X: "It took the Russians four years of war to find a relatively well-known sports personality to carry out such a propaganda operation."
    • @Josh skimo mixed relay is on Saturday, not Sunday, FYI
    • ... this week, time depending.   Today (Dec 5) 4:00pm: Swimming US Open - Finals 9:00pm: Freestyle Skiing WC Big Air Beijing  9:30pm: Snowboard WC Parallel Giant Slalom Mylin   Dec 6 2:00am: Snowboard WC Big Air Beijing 6:45am: Freestyle Skiing WC Aerials Ruka 4:00pm: Swimming US Open - Finals 9:30pm: Snowboard WC Parallel Giant Slalom Mylin   Dec 7 7:30am: Freestyle Skiing WC Moguls Ruka 9:45am: Ski Mountaineering WC Soltitude Mixed Relay   Dec 8 6:30am: Freestyle Skiing WC Moguls Ruka   Dec 9   Dec 10   Dec 11 4:45am: Ski Cross WC Val Thorens 7:00pm: Snowboard Halfpipe WC Secret Garden   Bills, Warriors, and Canucks (have a headache, can't be bothered to put it in...)   No Elite 16 beach volleyball, weak field and most of the top teams have shut down their seasons already. No Snow League Freeski Finals, Heerenveen Speed Skating WC, Alpine Skiing WC either.
