What the heck....

Talking to people who know more about athletics, they believe there were too many big personal bests set by people not running on the special shoes.

They think it was a problem with the measurement of the course

:CAN Canada's team for the World Relays. Canada will compete in all Olympic events except the 4x400 men's, which is dumb if you ask me, there some young potential Olympians who could have made a nice team up + they were sitting in the 24th and final qualifying position for this event.  Andre de Grasse will not be competing as his girlfriend is due around the same time.

Strangely, the major story of this announcement concerns the "pregnant girlfriend".

That's Nia Ali, the world 100 hurdles champion, who now has no chance of representing the USA in Tokyo.

Shamier Little 49.91 in the 400m. Wise from her to switch from the 400m Hurdles since there are more chances for her in the flat distance given the incredible depth with Muhammad & Sydney McLaughlin at the hurdles. Though an american sweep at the olympics could be in the making if Little qualifies there with Dalilah & Sydney

:SVK will participate at the World Relays :woot:  Only the 2nd time ever ! we participated only once so far, during the very first edition in Nassau 2014 in M 4x800m (8th place).

 

This time we´ll send a Mixed 4x400m relay, apparently we are around 5th place behind the last Olympic spot via ranking, so even if not realistic to qualify it is really nice and pleasant to at least try and send participants, something quite unusual for us, it does not happen in some other sports so often.

 

 

The team :

1st leg - Oliver Murcko (expected to be our weakest leg)

2nd leg - Iveta Putalová

3rd leg - Emma Zapletalová (expected to be the strongest leg)

4th leg - Šimon Bujna

 

and alternates: Martin Kučera (still in contention to be part of the relay), Patrik Domotor for the M, Alexandra Bezeková & Daniela Ledecká for W

    • Linn Gestblom (previously Persson) Will miss all season. Not recovered after surgery.
    • Greece and Portugal also have winter sports centres - but of course these are not homologated routes for World Cup competitions I have never been to Albania personally, so I don't know the country at all. I have been in southern Croatia, though, and there are mountains there but you definitely can't ski there (I was there in the summer, but it's also impossible in the winter). World cup taking place there only in Zagreb.    In general the case of Colturi and Kostelic is completely different: Colturi has no ties to Albania and Janica Kostelic was Croatian and didn't left their country even though at the beginning of her carrier (and also her brother Ivica) her father had to pay for everything and the federation's support was zero. This only changed later. I imagine that the Kostelic family had offers from other countries (Austria, Switzerland, Italy?) to compete for them, which were much richer (at the beginning of the 21st century Croatia was a very poor country and devastated by war). All the more respect for them because they were true Croatian patriots until the end. I can imagine the Colturi family in a similar situation... Her mother would probably negotiate with half of Alpine Europe for Lara to compete for them Which of course doesn't change the fact that the Italian federation completely gave a shit in this situation. They let such talent go in a situation where they hasn`t a single female athlete on the podium of the World Cup in slalom for a dozen or so years. In the giant slalom it's not much better either, only there the older athletes cloud the picture: Brignone and Bassino. However, behind these two there is absolutely nothing...
    • Atalanta is probably playing the most beautiful football in Europe right now: spectacular and effective. It's nice to watch and they don't have to spend a lot of money for it.   Inter is playing very economically. It's not impressive but it's consistently collecting points. It's also the only team in the Champions League that hasn't conceded a goal this season.   Milan played very poorly yesterday but they won. They have 9 points and are close to qualifying for the play-offs.
    • You can do the  same thing with trump:   Trum , Trumpet ,Trumeau ,Trauma ....
