Gold with a WL at 60m, if having a WL matters so much. And 1 more Olympic gold.

 

Point is they had a similar season- big indoor with title, big Olympics with title(s), sparse DL participation, nothing after the Olympics. So I don't agree that one doesn't belong to the list because there's more than the Olympics (apparently the only other big Championships of the year that they could attend doesn't matter) if the other is in.

Yes but to be fair an outdoor WL is seen as more significant as an indoor WL (especially since 60m is not an Olympic distance). I don't mean to disrespect Jacobs, but I think not having the outdoor WL is probably why he was not included. Still, Jacobs had a great season and you should be very proud of him!

 

Also unfortunately for Tentoglou, there is no long jump team event to win "1 more Olympic gold" :lol:

Our shot putter Kyriakos Zotos (currently ranked 59th by World Athletics) has been banned for 4 years due to a banned substance found in his sample from the Greek National Championships in June.

It's not a well-kept secret that he had a relationship with a teenage British female athlete during his year and a half with UK Athletics

Russian Federation suspension extended by World Athletics Congress

 

Following presentations from RusAF Acting President Irina Privalova and Chair of the Russia Taskforce, Rune Anderson, the World Athletics Congress has today approved the World Athletics Council’s recommendation that the Russian Federation continues to be suspended while the Council oversees completion of the Russian reinstatement plan.

Andersen presented the Taskforce’s latest report before the Congress vote. All other documents and decisions will be published at the conclusion of the Congress tomorrow.

    • I think the reason is that it's generally preferable to have a fast shooter in the 1st leg, and especially in the prone shooting, where Hofer is quite slow.   Now, I'm not saying I agree with the choice, because I don't. I think it's going to neutralize Giacomel's skiing skills in the 1st lap at least.   I guess the idea is to try and set a very fast pace in the 1st leg, which is usually quite tactical, but I'm afraid that's going to force Giacomel to risk too much because he will feel he has to make some time somehow.   Regardless, Italy must be on the podium tomorrow. I think that would be crucial for the following races as well. I think France is the clear favorite, but the other teams are not stronger than Italy on paper.
