I know it's different governing bodies, but it's crazy to me that it took over 2 years to officially DQ the Russian figure skater who actually tested positive at the time (and they still didn't dq her team, like they do with every other team), yet it took like 5 hours to hand down this decision. Not to mention the Chinese dopers. Different rules for big/small countries.

I know you like to hammer on this endlessly, and probably don't care, but...

The Valieva case was drastically different. The international fed and WADA had to appeal to CAS and go through all that to get her DQ'd because the test was a domestic event... all the while Russia dragged their feet and obsfucated and RUSADA giving her a pass

If the test had happened at the Olympics, it would have been a different story

Endlessly? I've said it twice in like 4 days. I know it's not the same, but it looks odd. Perception is everything. It doesn't take 2 years to confirm a doping test. I'm not even mad at Canada's punishment, I'm just pointing out the corruption and overall double standards.

Yay!

 

...but this is also a pretty anticlimactic way to win our first gold xD

Sadly, didn't seem like it could end either way. The way the Korean was throwing false attacks, the only way it was going to end was with her DQ'd for that or DeGuchi for passivity

Well, if this involved a medal after the competition and one side was determined to drag it out and act in bad faith at every turn, I'm sure we could drag it out after the fact with CAS for a year plus too

    • With a week to go till the deadline for the world invitational,the rosters look beefy for the discus on both sides.24 entries for the men[19 accepted in so far] and 25 for the women[18 accepted so far] For the men so far there are three 70 meter throwers[i count Denny as that since it's just 4 centimeters off his pb]10 from mid 66 to low 69,three of 65 and over,four from almost 64 to almost 65.On the women's side the 18 accepted throwers all have a pb of over 60 meters.11 of them have  pbs over 64 plus.of the ones still not there besides Valerie and Yaime who have been marketed so i can only assume they will join,such names as  Sandra Elkasevic,Bin Feng,and jordine van klinken aren't signed up yet,jordine's probably the most likely of them to join in tough feng would be a cool surprise,i somehow don't see Sandra doing this,but it would be awesome if she did.Stahl and ceh aren't in yet on the men's side,ceh has been marketed while stahl hasn't been mentioned at all,[pretty sure stahl will not be there],Lukas[last name is too wild for me to even try] and lawrence okoye aren't there yet either but i'm betting both will be joining in.
    • What a shame. That would have been amazing.
    • It's complete American domination in the women's discus rankings so far this year,they occupy the top 4 slots,and the WORST result of those four was achieved at Ramona .Third place currently belongs to Ciera Jackson who had a huge almost 4 METER pr at the west coast relays on friday-64.42[previous best was 60.77 from march of 2023,and she opened her season a week ago with at that time her second best result ever of 60.14]she also had a 63.66 throw to back this new pb up,and finally with her new personal best she took down the school record that stood for 36 YEARS[Btw Valerie Allman actually competed in Ramona on march 30th but conditions were apparently far from ideal and she fouled four times and her best was a 63.61,i don't doubt that in the event that she competes in the  world intational,the conditions will be perfect,i wouldn't be so bold as to say she wouldl get the world record but for sure i think she could get a new personal best.
