Yeah, she already seemed somewhat injured after the high jump and never really got in contention for the medals at all. Judging by how she looked sitting there on the stands, she's not exactly heartbroken, probably saw it coming for a while already :p 

I didn’t watch the high jump, but I noticed she did look off during the long jump (the technique and height wasn’t really there) , and of course her also being quite far behind in the standings. 
 

What exactly happened?

What kind of justice?  :IND had better timings than :RSA.

 

From next time, teams would like to intentionally tripple in their lanes and demand qualification to the next round.

South Africa were brought down by idiot moves by Spain, not their own fault.

Interesting stat here.  Of all the people who went into a repechage, in all events, only two actually made a final - Marques in the Women’s 1500m & the cheat Crittenden in the hurdles.

Think you were watching a completely different race than the rest of us, because that’s not what happened at all :d

Not surprising at all, as they only tired the athletes even more, instead of being some positive second chance.

Ya, IMO the repechage is only just a way to fill up the morning sessions with more races. In that way I guess it did work?

 

From a competitive standpoint it's a real bust.

Question: how many (if any ever) Olympics or WCh did Jamaica finish with more medals in field than in track?

Right now: 4 field (among them their only gold) and only 2 track.

Fair enough, but that is not just “only”. Giving good athletes a chance to run in front of a big crowd is always a noble aspiration.

      Summer Olympic Games Los Angeles 2028 Qualification Systems

      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.

      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.

      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.

      How Many Medals do You Expect from Your Nation at the Winter Olympic Games Milano Cortina 2026？

      By JockCartier · Posted

      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 ,
