Tamberi likely to miss Olympic games, it' s absurd, we had only 2 very good athletes both in high jump and both will miss OG.

Dont panic just now, you should pray for him instead. I am positive that everything will be alright for him and that he will win a medal in Rio. Some might say that he was stupid to continue jumping after he won, but i think no one should be punished for being ambitious. Lets hope that he will be fit in time for Rio and jump 2.40m there.

Oh I'm now reading that his coach/father said for now it doesn't look like he has a serious injury, that would be good.

In the end i prefer men winning the medals in womens 800m over doped women winning the medals in womens 800m, so i will cheer for Semenya, Niyonsaba and Wambui. The hypocrisy of some fans is just shocking.

IAAF cant fight Doping on the one side and allow men to compete against women on the other side, its obvious that women will just dope more to have even a small Chance. I think we can all agree that no clean woman can beat a men in womens 800m.
