Athletics WA World Championships 2025

And that's just one of the unfortunate realities of sport sometimes.  Sometimes it wasn't the best, fairest, most accurate result...even with technology.  There will be bias, error, or events that can't be repeated.  Obviously we hope to minimize these instances, but it's unavoidable I'm afraid.

46 federations with medals in these WCH...more than the 43 in the Olympics in Paris!

 

Might Puerto Rico pull out the bronze in the Decathlon to add to the total?

Not impossible, it'll be Owens-Delerme who needs to try and hold Neugebauer, Kaul and Erm off...

Throughout the championship, I've been watching this on Peacock, which is the NBC monthly subscription thing here in America.  A lot of it has been the World Feed (and probably most of this doesn't air on NBC or its affiliated channels on 'normal' TV); however, whenever NBC wants to air things on TV, they'll bring in their commentators, focus on America, etc.  

 

For this session, it's the World Feed.  For me, it's actually quite a relief to get the World Feed instead of NBC for the broadcast.    Get a greater glimpse of all the competitors, not as many interviews, etc.  Not to mention no ads.  I'm sure NBC will take the evening session, however.  (I'm also glad that it's the world feed for Paris 2024 that I can (re)watch on the Olympics site.)

And that's it for Skotheim  

[Monzanator 5,095]

Skottheim with a terrible hurdles run and lucky not to DNF.

Skotheim  has a rough go at the hurdles...opens the door a little for Garland 

[Topicmaster1010 6,548]

He pushed the hurdle over, could very well be a DQ
