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

    • 2 things...   first, for what concerns the cooperation between inline skating and speedskating federations...sorry to disppoint some of you, but there's a great cooperation between them   the point is that many "summer" skaters just don't want to try the ice because they have too much to give up for that   you name places like Collalbo or Baselga, but for the "summer skating" guys from centeral and southern regions it's not an option, it's not that they make it for a living with those disciplines, they have to focus on their studies and build a post-competitive sport career and they just can't place themselves into a hole in the mountains when they maybe are studying in some prestigious universities in the big cities   as I already posted more than once, the idea of covering one of those tracks in the mountains was something idiotic, a political concession impossible to be sustained   the one and only chance to build a true legacy and an efficient, attractive national training center was to build a permanent indoor oval in Milan, beside the Forum   that would have given all the "summer skaters" a true opportunity to try the ice experience and at the same time find the most useful, attractive, prestigious places to continue their studies and try and manage them together with their sports career   any other place wouldn't stand a chance   second...don't give Salvini any credit he doesn't deserve...actually, I think he doesn't even know that in Cortina there's a sliding sports track    it's not thanks to him that the Cortina track's building finally went underway
