Two :SRI athletes broke South Asian records recently. Now these results are not that impressive, but both results would have qualified for Rio for ex.

 

Ushan Thiwanka - High jump - 2.30 m

Yupun Abeykoon - 100m - 10.15 

Not familiar with those names......:mumble:  Oh, you must mean my old mates Hetti Thanthrige Ushan Thiwanka Perera & Yupun Abeykoon Mudiyansalage, right?  :p

many people will be extremely happy...

 

the Swiss Federal Court denied Alex Schwazer in his last appeal to find the way to have his shameful, unfair suspension lifted and so try and earn a spot for the Tokyo Olympics...

 

now he doesn't have any chance left to fly to Tokyo...major injustice has been done and kept until the end, despite the evidence of a criminal process that demonstrated how a shitty plot was put in place against him...

 

I wish all those who conspired against him all the worst for the rest of their life...:bones:

18 year old american Athing Mu wins the 400m at SEC Championships with a new US Junior record time of 49.84

 

Teenagers from Africa and now american will be making big debut this season and going into Tokyo if they all qualify will make the event very very good against Shaunae Miller-Uibo and the current world champion. An historic and potential world record race at the Olympics?

    • North American rugby quotas ( and qualified automatically)    M: and W: and  
    • I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.
    • Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't. 
    • Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.
