Or maybe Germany should play cricket. It's really well known for years that strong cricket nations are good in javelin. Doping came from Germany so id be careful with such posts only because German thrower didn't win. 

They used to!  Cricket features in one of Theodore Fontane’s novels.

I think they had finals in the morning sessions in Rio and some other championships too?

 

 

another thing, how can they schedule the 4x400m for women the same day as the individual final?

I wonder if they'll get in administrative trouble, considering it's Scotch and the other usual 400m names on the start list.
