I still remember Gunther Weidlinger’s faceplant into the steeplechase barrier many years ago now at Europeans I think. He broke his nose I think and looked like he almost took his head off his shoulders. Anyone else remember that or am I just too old?

I don't remember that, I do remember a lady doing that at the European Games in Baku

Germany doesn't include GDR, because the twice the athletes rule, but it has West Germany and Unified team included.

 

Soviet Union was Russia so....

 

Be happy you are the 4th nation to reach the 1000th milestone.

The Soviet Union was not Russia but a union of numerous countries. They were completely different entities. How can you simply add their numbers together when many of the USSR's medals were won by non-Russians.

That's how they do it. I believe Czech Republic also inherited all Czechoslovakia medals and Slovakia started from zero? @hckošice

Nope. Both started from zero. The figures for Czechoslovakia are separate from those of Czechia and Slovakia not to mention Bohemia.
