Men's long jump is even worse... :rofl: 

Every year we have one field event that's really awesome it seems :p

 

We had a year of Bondarenko vs Barshim with amazing heights, a year of Pichardo vs Taylor with fantastic jumps and now?

Van der Plaetsen, European athletics king :clap:

 

Very much deserved after hard years with losing his father, getting cancer and now qualifying for the Olympics :)

I don't know if the video works, but you gotta see Ruther Smith's reaction today after qualifying for the discus final in his last throw :bowdown:

Before you think "what an idiot", it's an 'explosion of happiness' after such an incredibly long time with bad, bad injuries, threatening to end his career and so on, so it's understandably emotional for him :) 

 

Now if he qualifies for Rio, that would be the ultimate beauty.

    • The olympic charter is toilet paper. Russia was suspended because otherwise western sponsor companies would pull out and some big countries would've boycotted Paris. Money is the only thing that matters to IOC.
    • Remember that Russia's IOC suspension was for a "breach of the Olympic Charter because it violated the territorial integrity of the NOC of Ukraine" not for any other reason. Restoring Russia without that changing would have huge repercussions for other nations.
    • It’s just a great weasel word.   We all want  to come back to International sport "when they are in compliance". But there are very differing opinions on what that means.
    • I doubt that.  It will mean only a doping rubber stamp and a promise not to swear at the ice skating moppets in public,
    • So, kind of forgotten about at the end of the summer season, we have two events to go in the World Triathlon Championship Series, the last WTCS regular season races of the year in Weihai , then the Final in  in mid-October.  All to play for because there are double points up for grabs in the last race, so effectively nothing really decided yet.  Races are tomorrow morning  time, so pretty much overnight in Europe.   Races are full Olympic length and apparently a hilly cycling course.  Here's the situation and preview for the Men.     World Triathlon Championship Series Weihai ready for another epic Wilde vs Yee battle | World Triathlon Championship Series   And for the women   Women's World Triathlon Championship Series rankings to heat up in Weihai | World Triathlon Championship Series    
    • "once it returns to compliance" would mean it renounces its claim to Crimea... Can't see that happening any time soon.
    • Maggie MacNeil   She was an Olympic, World (LC and SC) Pan American Games and Commonwealth Games Champion. Highly decorated career. 
    • when I raised the question, I forgot that that there was no U23 medals for women just a couple years ago...
    • it happens when you think too much ahead about the next match (vs Brazil) while you have a tough opponent ahead. they gave up 4 silly goals in the first half and then it was a mountain to climb.  Iran had a last penalty exactly in the last second which hit the bar   have to admit Iran played terrible the entire match and didn't deserve the win but Morocco is also a very ugly team. lots of acting, deceiving, diving and protesting in the 2nd half. putting Iran in 5 fouls very early which made the team playing cautious 
    • Morocco won after almost being stolen the victory by the refs. Those officials should be sent home after calling that joke foul in the last second.
