Ledecka to the semi's :cheer: 

 

Despite 5 women in her heat having a faster SB this season.

Upholding the honour of Clan Ledecky which has more Olympic Gold Medals than.any other Slavonic name except Ivanov probably. :p

:ETH Geleta follows his countryman and steps out of it.

Think there is some long-lasting money battle between athletes & Federation.  The men always give up at halfway.

These are exceptions. Just see the gold medals in all big competitions. 

Yeah, but while certainly true, East African nations winning a majority of distance medals isn't exactly new :p (like Scandinavian countries are strong in cross-country skiing)

 

I had nothing to do anyway, so, a breakdown of how many medals they won at the world championships and Olympics in the past 20 years:

 

2004: 14/21 (last major event without the women's steeplechase)
2005: 17/24
2007: 14/24
2008: 16/24
2009: 17/24
2011: 19/24
2012: 18/24
2013: 19/24
2015: 18/24
2016: 15/24
2017: 14/24
2019: 16/24
2020: 14/24
2022: 19/24
2023: 17/24
2024: 13/24

But then it would make sense to stop earlier instead of holding on in the lead group for so long you gain nothing, yet still spend so much you can not realistically still go do a fall marathon :p

If I didn't have to prepare for my university exams... :p

It looked like at some point that we would be winning gold – the Italian looked great and, according to commentators, he had the best finish of the top runners. In this case, bronze is good, but I hope someone wins gold for us.

I mean, it looked like the chance existed, other than the arguably somewhat biased Italian commentator, I'm not sure someone saw it in the way that he was actually 'on his way to gold' :p 

 

Dutch commentator did single him out as looking very good when there was still a group of around 20 though, sharp eye :d

    • All Milano-Cortina Olympians are to be find in the first posts of the respective threads just like in this one.
    • Almost sadder than a university hall of residence
    • Big shock as  beat the all-conquering  Men's Team Sprint team in the Heats!
    • sure! in every Italian bedroom you normally have every kind of table, chairs, furniture, tv screen  to me, this really look an unfinished room, you normally don't see such a sad place even when you buy a new house 
    • Canoe Sprint There is a now a cap of 5 athletes per gender in the kayak events (down from 6 in 2024). The World Championships has been replaced by the Olympic Qualification Rankings.   K2 lost 2 boat quotas while K4 has gained 1 boat quota. Quota distribution is quite complicated as it usually is for canoe sprint. They also force nations to compete in a minimum number of events based on the number of athletes qualified; 2 and 3 athletes per boat class must compete in 2 events, 4 must compete in all 3 events and 5 must compete in all 3 events and have two entries in the K1 event.
    • Wrestling will have a completely new format, I do not like the changes. ranking isn't really a good idea in this sport, this will force wrestlers to compete in so many events to collect points. which is not good for their health. specially with the current UWW ranking points distribution system which is plain stupid   they are also gifting 18 quotas to very weak countries by that last qualification event. but I understand their point of view. can't wait to see lots of Russian wrestlers compete for weak countries for that 1 available quota.
    • Canoe Slalom Quotas from men's/women's K1 have been moved to men's/women's KX1. K1 will now have 14 quotas while KX1 will have 10 quotas. C1 remains at 17 quotas. Athletes may participate in other events up to a maximum of 2 athletes per NOC.   The World Championship qualifier has been dropped in favour of the Olympic Qualification Rankings (7 K1, 10 C1, 3 KX1), afterwards you have the Continental Qualifiers (1 per boat) and then a new Global Qualifier (2 per boat).   There were a few changes regarding ways to ensure an athlete can only obtain 1 quota. The biggest being at each stage the boat priority is K1 > KX1 > C1 for the rankings and KX1 > K1 > C1 for the continental/global qualifiers. This basically means if the same athlete qualifiers in multiple boats then the quota will be given to the kayak over canoe.    
    • I'll post significant changes periodically. I'll start with the recently added/updated documents.   Archery The addition of mixed compound (12M & 12W) forced a reduction on the recurve side. The mixed compound quotas are distributed as follows   Host - 1 World Championships - 3 Continental Games - 5 World Ranking List - 2 Final Qualifier - 1   To compensate the team events will now only have 8 nations. 2 quotas were removed from the World Ranking List and 2 were removed from the Final Qualifier.   Individual recurve and mixed recurve distribution is the same
