Ooooooooh damn, did someone see that 400m hurdles girls final? :yikes::yikes:

 

Sanique Walker of Jamaica had a huge lead, dominated the race, but almost tripped over the last hurdle and Zeney van der Walt of South Africa came back to take the gold by passing her in the last meter :yikes:

The german girl was injured yesterday and still might be, i doubt that she will run close to her PB today.

Well she seems to have recovered pretty well, seeing as she ran a PB of 200m. right after the injury and did pretty well in other disciplines as well.

Sad, there are already european u18/u20 championships, so nothing will change for european talents, i just liked that all those young talents from all over the world were allowed to compete against each other, getting to know new (non-european) countries and new cultures. Most of them will probably never get the chance to compete at u20/senior world championships, so this was a once in a lifetime moment for many of them.

Yeah, exactly, I agree with you completely. The atmosphere is very friendly, everyone making friends, plus it's a huge boost for the youngsters to work harder towards something. Plus so many good results, as you mentioned earlier the high jump, as well as the triple jumper. Really disappointing this is the last one, we have very good talent born in the 2003, but seeing as U18 is limited to 2002 for next year, that means they get their first championship in 3 years.

In case anyone didnt know:

All the sessions are streamed live (+ on demand) on the IAAF Youtube channel:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qn6opDhtHxU

Sadly it doesn't work in every country, but at least it looks like people in many countries can follow it this way. There's also the Eurosport Player, for people who want to watch it but live in a country where the IAAF stream doesn't work (like the Netherlands).

Oh, that's pretty unfortunate. I'm watching everything on Youtube.

    • We have much more events and there may be no Russia in 2026 so most of the NOCs should improve. But not Poland i’m afraid
    • I’ve had 2weeks long Olympic holidays each time since i graduated from the university in ancient times of year 2003   Both winter and summer. Always.   i had those olympic holidays in every job contract 😉
    • For sure better for  one silver - I think it was Shelly Rudman, Skeleton.  Can definitely improve on that.   Still remember it as a good games, though - think it was the first time I took two weeks off work to watch a Winter Games.

    • As a Montreal Canadien fan, I am in agreement. However, he is struggling recently and is demoted to the 4th line this week. Hoping he can turn it around. 
    • I read now that Valentina Rodini will be in the new team of Tizzano + Galtarossa and Martini. I was probably in such an information bubble on Instagram that I thought that only Abbagnale was running a campaign and had a team of people around him. That's why I was surprised by his defeat + the fact that, for example, Rodini supports his rival. But as I wrote, for me the change in the general coach position is a plus. We need a new opening and a new impulse: Cattaneo had his best results in Tokyo and then he only explained that his rowers were running away abroad to the USA to study and that's why he had worse results. Ok, except that it's the same in Romania and Greece but they results are comparable or better. It's obvious that no one here will make the UK or the Netherlands, because we don't have such resources and money but I think we can repeat the Romanian results (2 gold - 3 silver in Paris) and that will be a much better result than the 2 silver in this year.
