Wow, congrats Volko and SVK

 

I had no idea Slovakia has sprinters.

[Bearas 522]

So many unexpected medals 

Anyway, I'm the happiest about the medal that whole Lithuania has been waiting and expecting by Airinė Palšytė  This is also Lithuania's first ever gold in Indoors

Another awfuld day for us ...

 

Btw, congrats Slovakia and Albania, two unexpected medals  

[hckošice 15,029]

Thanks for all supports and congratulations. A huge result and totally unexpected medal for us, unbelievable success. Congrats to Volko.

 

unfortunately I can not entirely celebrate and enjoy this historic moment. because just at same time as he run the final, we had a huge tragedy in our family and my stepfather passed away tonight. very very sad evening for me and especially my mom...maybe during next days I´ll not be so much online and will not post everything as I did...but I´ll try my best to post at least the essential things when I´ll find a few of time.

Thanks for your comprehension

Too bad Kilty was there again messing up the fun, but awesome to see Volko (honestly, I had never heard of him..) take the silver 

 

And that 21.97m for Bukowiecki, damn

Bukowiecki now changed to...carrot

Did I miss something or is Bukowiecki really saying eating carrots is his new 'thing'?  

 

It sounds like our Dafne Schippers and her magical vegetables

Akani Simbine became the first south african sprinter to run sub 10 (9.93 s) and sub 20 (19.95 s) at 100/200 m the same day and i think there are not too many guys in history running sub 10 and sub 20 in their career. 18 year old Clarence Munyai from South Africa ran 20.10 s (200 m) recently and is now the 5th fastest U20 athlete ever, only 0.17 s away from Usain Bolt's junior world record. South Africa is extremely impressive in mens sprint (100/200/400 m) and it also shows in mens long jump. I dont know what happened in Rio with their relay, but if they dont completely mess up in London, they should win a medal with Simbine, Jobodwana, Van Niekerk and one of their young guys (Munyai, Leotlela). I think we have very exciting times ahead and the american/jamaican dominance might be ended by Japan/South Africa. GB, Canada, Germany and China also should have pretty fast relays for the next couple of years, so mens 4 x 100 m relay might be one of the most competitive events in athletics and probably all sports.

it was an irony joke but part of it was deleted although parts of German jokes about Bukowiecki are not being deleted
