It has been a good comp.   Started off a bit slow but all the Italian success created a lot of atmosphere.  Good appetizer for the rest of the summer.

Agreed. Lots of strong performances here by a number of athletes. France and Italy in particular seem to be standing out particularly in terms of nations.

The whole point about athletics, or any sport is that you don’t need superstars to create exciting events, just close head-to-heads.

Javelin? Whats his PB?

More than what he did

 

Commentators here often just don't look into the multi-events well and say things like "Kaul made a fantastic comeback!" (last time for example), or talk about how Kaul is disappointing when after day one he is way down the rankings, even though that is exactly what one would expect when actually looking into the event. It's like if you'd do an all-round running competitition with a 100m and a 10k and after the 100m you say "omg, Kenenisa Bekele is way behind Usain Bolt, awful start!"
