It was in trouble at 09:00 this morning, so I’m not surprised.  Happens every time.

It's Atos... Let's hope in a better service in Paris.

Well, Italy sure produced the home-favored schedule with women's race walk and men's SP coming in early!

 

I'm surprised Haratyk even made the final. Our SP has regressed badly in recent years. Bukowiecki is completely off form after all the injuries and I don't think he recovers anytime soon if ever.

Who on earth thought this would be a logical schedule? We've got like an hour of shot put qualifying and some high jump qualifying and nothing else, and then when the discus final starts we've got heats going on as well

Also, not sure who mentioned it ( @Wumo I think?), but the 'hide finished' isn't as good as we had hoped. It does take away the spoilers, but it removes the entire event from the timetable, because European Athletics also uses that utterly idiotic system where they should the top-3 of medal events in the timetable  

 

Even worse, they automatically update that page, so you can't even open it and leave it open without refreshing it to keep it 'clean'

Wojtunik runs 13,22 despite a huge mistake on the second hurdle. She needed to beat 13,23 to qualify

 

And the clock didn't stop at the line.

Doing so alone is a very impressive run indeed

it's because the actual shot put and discus throw qualifiers have been rescheduled once the original session (that should have been held yesterday in the small but scenographic stadium "delle Statue" used from Today for the warmup) was cancelled (too late) from the final program

 

so, we have some unusual situations like the quali and final of the men's Discus in the same day and the shot put qualifiers inserted where some space was available

 Zézé accepts his  without protest.  
 

Wdowik  does the greatest celebration dance ever seen from a man who has just finished third in a first round heat.
