Skujytė is showing why she is the best shot putter in Heptathlon yet again, of course 200m. might knock her down the order, but her RIO dream is still alive. It would be the 5th consecutive Olympic Games for her and if I'm not mistaken, she would be the first heptathlete to ever participate in 5 Olympic Games if of course, she collects the points needed for the quota. :)

well, maybe this was too strong. We will see. I hope this tim she will have better tactics in final. Good luck Amela.

 

Her tactics had some flaws this time as well, but she's getting better with each big event she runs at. :bounce:

I remember bookmakers offered odds of 5 for her to win the shot put in the heptathlon at the 2012 Olympics.....I was very grateful and profited from their mistake quite a lot :lol:

Yet another reason for you to support her :lol: maybe she'll make more money for you in the near future. :d

I doubt they will make the same mistake again :p (Besides, it's extremely rare that bookmakers offer odds for the separate events in a heptathlon/decathlon :d )

    • I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.
    • Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't. 
    • Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.
