I am not a fan of Spanovic, but her winning gold would be 1000 times better than Reese or Jar-Jar-Binks winning gold.

Martina is disqualified  

 

Very sad decision, but - unfortunately - the correct decision

Not to mention the two Turks and I see there are two Israeli's as well who don't seem to be born there, but I don't know if they are "bought" like Turkish or more like refugees  

 

If Israel wanted to buy, you'd think there would be better options than two 28+ minutes athletes (with SB closer to 29 min).

What is happening with Perkovic, i think she has never been that bad. On the one hand it would be good to not see her winning gold or even a medal, on the other hand her bad performance is probably the main reason why the level overall is so weak. I think i will cheer for her now, she should throw at least 67.50m.

Well done  Ivana! Absolute European champion, as she holds indoor and outdoor titles at the continental champs!
