What a joke from Czykier. Five men and he finishes 5th. If he's injured then why did he even come here. Damn tourist.

Probably he just wanted see Eiffel Tower with Olympic rings. As 80% of our athletes across all sports.

Because it’s the Olympics, and he wants to experience it probably.

Apart from Adeleke, 400m runners all peaked for the Europeans.

Absolute disgrace from Szymański - another hurdler flop. He just said he's not ready to run between other athletes at this level. Well, guess what, there are no solo runs in 110H hurdles. A complete tourist loser mentality.

 

Our athletics is set for historically bad OG performance. S### will hit the fan soon and Szymański should be one of the first to go under review for this BS.

He was already in Rio and Tokyo, if he is injured then it would be better to dont come.

Miller-Uibo on a nice morning jog for the second time.

Yeah, he can't use the cliche excuse of "learning & gaining experience" here. Men's 110H hurdles is in contention for the biggest athletics failure at these OG. Hammer was bad but age has caught up to them tbh. Hurdlers have no excuses IMO.

The start list for the women’s pole vault final. First time I’ve seen 20 athletes taking part in a field event final

Well even if it’s your 3rd Olympics, it’s still the Olympics.
