But I just don't get why you are seemingly cutting him more slack than you are her! Simply because, in my opinion (and based on recent results), she was further from what can realistically be expected from her than Bonevacia was from what can realistically be expected from him. But I feel this is never going to end, because we won't agree anyway, so it'll be a matter of agreeing to disagree Josh 1 If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

Jan Linha 561 Posted June 7 #228 Share Posted June 7 Well, first day - amazing results by 18 y.o. juniors Jakub Dudycha and Petr Meindlschmid. At least Stánek made it to the final of shot put. Rest Czechs kinda behind expectations and there will still be a lot to do in order to keep the qualifying spot to Paris or even move up to one. Such as discuss thrower Marek Bárta who I believe would still need to take part in 2 competitions and make a great results in order to move up. Pity for race walker Martínková who was fighting for a medal and Olympic limit all the time until she got the 2min penalty. Let's hope other days will bring better results for our team 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If she does an = PB in the remainder of her three events, she’ll record a mark of 6551 points, well above the Olympic standard. If she does an =SB in the remainder of her three events, she’ll record a mark of 6443 points, or 37 below the Olympic standard. But with how well she’s been doing so far she should have no problem achieving it, as long as she doesn’t no mark or anything like that.

Even if she doesn't get a Q, she's probably looking at 6300 as a bare minimum, even if she has relatively poor performances on day 2. That would put her much higher up the list in the rankings, meaning that she's almost certain to get a place in Paris that way. I reckon as long as she gets to the end of the hept with disaster (injury, no mark in LJ etc) she's probably booked her ticket one way or another.
