Can't wait :cheer: 

 

Me too; I will definitely be there. Slibovita rullllllz :d

If the lights light up exactly at the correct moment, he was definitely first, since his light went on first. Not sure if those lights are 100% accurate though?

Does anybody know if Japan are refusing their men's 4x400m relay quota? They didn't name them in the official team and I heard something about them only entering their best 3 relay disciplines for the Olympics.

Exactly what I was asking one or two days ago, I'm still curious :p

None of their women's relay teams are in qualification position (unlike men's). So I don't see them declining a relay in which they actually qualified.

Lemaitre might be a star, he probably would not have added a lot in the sprints here since he's not anywhere near his best shape this year.

Like in every championships there are some things like that of course :d

 

Schippers didn't run the 200m, or else we had a very good chance to win one more gold medal. Hassan just used this championships as a way to start getting back in shape and getting some rhythm, if she was in top shape we had a good chance to win another gold medal. 

 

Mitchell-Blake and Zharnel Hughes were still fighting injuries or else GBR might have a very good gold medal chance or even two more medal chances. And so on :p

I doubt they will either.... so we miss out by 0.07. Ugh, I hate these constant near misses. This cycle has been really hard to be an Irish fan with all these near misses :(:(:(. It's been a gloomy 2 years.

    • Unfortunate, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm looking forward to Thursday evening, when the team captain's meeting is over and we have our very first World Cup start list of the season. Always a cool moment to see who's there and everything  
    • Today I unpacked some of the boxes in which we have put my way too many books to move to our house, and I came across these beauty's I hadn't seen for a while     Absolutely recommended, tough to get for a decent price, but they are such an interesting read with lots of very interesting little stories! Still looking for at least 1900, 1904 and 1906, but not really in the right moment to spend money on that now, so the wait goes on  
    • Which I guess is part of why unfortunately 'our' first wild card attempt of the season was rejected last week  
    • The next chapter in the Krasnobaeva saga is upon us.   Looks like  Armenia have cut ties with her after only a few weeks. A person from their Federation has said, that they won't continue the relationship, because of her unprofessional and rude attitude towards the coaches and other officials. That includes: - having no respect to the coaches and their advise; - training without any motivation; - stops doing the routine and throws objects without any reason; - just lays on the floor and ignores the music.   When this was escalated with her mother, she mentioned that "Elvira has a strong temper and she was the same in Bulgaria and they tolerated her". Which of course is complete BS. If anyone attempted this shit here, they would be thrown out immediately.   And now  are wanting from her mother to return all finances they gave them, which she is refusing, so they will probably sue them. They will also inform other RG Federations about this situation, so they don't hire them.   My 2 cents on this is most likely Krasnobaeva was happy in BG and was forced out by her mother, so now she is sabotaging the move and be done with it.
    • Honestly Ruka is my favourite World Cup event of the whole season. Everybody is there. Later on there is always someone who skips one weekend or another . Not everybody takes part in Tour de ski. But here everyone shows up.
