Correct, sadly i dont have a prize for you ...

Do you also remeber his former name (without looking it up)? 

El-Sheryf  His name was very specific.

I think i will cheer for the british womens 4x100m relay in the final, if this would be a model contest, then they wouldve already won it, no matter who competes in the second heat.

According to Wiki he studied at Cyprus University, so probably moved there.

 

Never heard that Cyprus is buying athletes.

First one. He lives in Cyprus, where he finished school and now studying. He compete for Cyprus even as junior. But Im so happy for him.

 

That's good, it would be disaster if Cyprus would dare buy athletes 

 

I'm also happy for him, I think that you know why

Ukraine

 

And they changed his name to Osmanoglu. I wonder how they decide which Turkish names will be given to bought athletes.

 

Though, to be honest, it's not ALL about Turkey. Athletes who are willing to switch both nationality and name...

Yeah, thats what i remembered him for. I always thought that officials didnt know if Sheryf was his first name or his last name and thats why they "gave" him this weird name.

Schippers apparently suffered some sort of injury during warm-up by the way and won't run the heats. No news yet about the seriousness of it all.

Disaster. As I said, min. 40 athletes for Tokyo.

Hopefully Pinto will be alright. Yesterday she said that she got injured before womens 100m final during warmup and therefore couldnt race as fast as expected.
