It's a simple top list for relays. heywoodu is right: who ran it first gets the priority.

not a fan of this tiebreaker, I'd rather take the headache of the individual WRL

Seems like, yes. No idea what would otherwise be the tiebreaker (definitely not thousandths)....

That would be the most ridiculous tiebreaker in history. Both times are set during the qualification period. Well, hopefully the Dutch Federation already has approached some lawyers for this insane situation.

 

Or run a sub 38.30 in Geneve

Oh well ... case closed then. No lawyers needed anymore.

Pichardo is fuming and claims "Atleta de Espanha" didn't jump 18.18

Another scam in Rome? Ask Giovanni Evangelisti and Sandro Donati how to do it...

 

Hard to say, strange thing is that all the metrics haven't been seen on TV during this jump

Because they don't have to. It's only done for TV audience comfort of viewing but isn't required by the WA rules.

 

Apparently Campaore's 16.72 qualifying jump was initially measured as being below 14 meters so there comes a moment when the accusations are getting out of hand. And since everyone wants technology to decide everything the old "stick & tape" measurement ain't coming back to athletics any which way.

We'll know by the end of the season.  If he never does anything like it again....

He makes a fair point, but it does come across as a bit salty.

I have some comments from our triple-jumpers. They said that this secror was very specific in Rome. It was situated at the special podium above all the other sectors of competitions.

This podium has a basement made of wood. Thus it springs you much more than usual jumping sector. But the resonation can either help you a lot or almost stop you.

So I would not expect these results to be reproduced later this season.
