Much as I like him, I don't think there can be any doubt about Martina's DSQ:

 

 

We know that he didn't cheat intentionally, it was an honest mistake. Hopefully the odds will be in his favour in Rio, he deserved it.

Gold and silver for Turkish Kenyans.

 

Guys, this is becoming unwatchable.

pathetic this 10 000 is pathetic. Zátopek still would kick all their asses

He'd take silver behind Paavo Nurmi

Will Benabbad win the gold again this time?

This is so sad. For 2020 they will have about 40 athletes from Africa and America

Please, please, please not  

 

Let's just say I would not be sad if he falls over a hurdle or faceplants himself into the water

This is not only sad, but disgraceful.

 

1. They disrespect local athletes buying the foreign ones - no matter how harsh it sounds, they do sell themselves, which is kinda gross, if you ask me, not to mention the quality of the local competitors decreases.

2. They disrespect other European countries who give their best to produce great local athletes.

 

If this farce continues we won't have countries competing for the medals, but (most likely) the richest clubs.
