Good, my number 1 and 2 biggest favourites - and probably those of everyone else - got the win, good for my Atstat contest  

And Ooijslagers favourite for another  gold, of course.

Dutch commentator: "If this ended up actually being a DQ for Benjamin, I'd immediately stop with this entire championships, that would have been utter bullshit."

Actually second after Igor Kováč in 110m Hurdles in Athens 1997

 

But this was yes, the very first ever Female final in a track event for Slovakia and first female  athletics medal except Hammer Throw

What`s the best Slovakian vodka?

And thank you all guys for your support, I really appreciate it ! You trully the best community 

 

After quick look to history books, this was in fact the 5th  medal from Athletics WCh

and first since 2015 Gold in 50km Race Walk in Beijing.

2nd womens after Martina Hrašnová bronze in Hammer Throw

Counting also the Czechoslovak era this was the 9th medal won by a slovak athlete ever

 

So, yeah, quite a historic achievemnt for us. So proud of Emma, she really deserved this after her season and all what she had to come over last 2 years due injuries

They do, so bronze would have been nice, but to be fair to him: he based it on the replay they showed, which was, stupidly enough, from the side

 

And yeah, from the side there isn't really any problem visible, they need to show it from the front.

The refs have extra angles, we see them for the lane infringement decisions.
