Konrad is 19 yo, he didn't get a medal in European Championships; do you think he'll get it at Olympic Games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah when posting that I completely forgot that of course it's in Poland, so it's logical that he's here I think he has a chance at the Olympics. I don't think he is one of the main favourites, but if one of the big guys fails (which is always an option) he definitely is one of the guys that could step in and grab a surprise medal. Realistically I'd say he has like 15% medal chance if he is in top shape in Rio.

You're very close to my estimation: 15%-20%; I think he doesn't yet have the mental power to battle those big guys (Kovacs, Crouser, Storl, maybe not even his countrymen Majewski and Haratyk). But in the future, if nothing bad happens, he can become one of the great performers of this event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in the future, if nothing bad happens, he can become one of the great performers of this event. I even literally wrote "15-20%" but edited my post to only 15% Yeah, that he is talented is very clear to anyone. To win a medal in Rio he will have to improve even more, but especially for a young guy that's definitely not impossible (unless his nerves are a problem), and then have some luck with other guys not throwing as far as they can. Which will probably happen because I doubt everyone will throw PB-distances, so that's where I think he has a decent chance If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

I see Konrad in the 4-6 place range at Rio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
