Eh Bibic will miss this Pity really. He was our main hope for medal on 1500 and 5000.  Now only Gardasevic and maybe Micevic can win medal.

They should let that 15 (?) year old javelin thrower girl compete

Great to see your enthusiasm for the performance of a foreign athlete!

Röhler and Vetter make 90 m almost seem normal ... at this point it would be really disappointing if they wouldnt finish 1-2 in London.

German javelin throwers have never been that strong, amazing progression, sadly we are in a very bad spot in pretty much all other throwing events.

Also 64.21 for Hussong in womens javelin throw today and 21.53 for Storl yesterday, overall i am pretty happy with the current state of german athletics, despite the "absence" of Schwanitz/C.Harting and the recent retirement of world class athletes like Heidler, Obergföll or Stahl.

Obviously at the world championships it's always possible a non-German wins, but man, if they have one big chance for a gold medal...it's definitely right there  (stating the obvious, I know  )
