Right before the start I wrote this on a Dutch forum:

 

"I think we'll see everyone together until 600 meters, after which Semenya accelerates, Niyonsaba follows her and eventually finishes second two seconds behind Semenya." 

 

Too easy :p 

:lol:

 

but this is really not "normal"

I'm disappointed we didn't see a 1:55 yet :p 

 

The Dutch commentator: "1:53.28 is the world record though and that will probably never ever be broken."

 

I think it will, this year.

Considering her "improve 2 seconds per month"-rule this year that's slow :p

Margaret Wambui takes the 800m win in Huelva...she might be the only one capable of staying reasonably close to Semenya and Niyonsaba this season and we all know why.

Nuria Fernandez just did 15:24.17 today in 5000 in the Huelva meeting. SO CLOSE. I can't believe Spain has now two athletes that there are not in times for Rio just for half a seacond in the same distance (Lidia Rodriguez 15:24.25 in 2015). And sadly there's no realocation in long dintance races.:facepalm:

 

 

I hope both can reach the time in further races :cry:

We've got the Diamond League in Birmingham in a little bit :)

 

Some interesting races, for example Niyonsaba in the 800 without Semenya this time and the new huge talent Baboloki Thebe of Botswana making his big league debut in the 400 :)

:( IBARGUEN (14.56) :COL defeated by RYPAKOVA 14.61 :KAZ at Birmingham meeting DL 

Bad day also for VILJOEN :RSA  finish 7th  (58.54)

 

Good results for :yes Yarisley SILVA :CUB won with 4.84 (WL) and Conseslus KIPRUTO :KEN  8.00.12

 

However 3 days after Rome meeting other meeting with same events (not all but many....) is little bit bizarre   :wacko:

    • Trump will attack Iran soon , maybe tonight   
    • Yep, that was really unfortunate, but well, such things happens. Anyway this amount of lugers is really impressive.   Congrats and good luck at the Games
    • Yeah, Qualifying a team for the summer olympics is completely out of the question. Not going to happen for a long time. In Sydney 2000 we had 3 teams W Basketball, M Football & M Water Polo, it was already insane and this was even in a totally different era. Nowadays it is just Utopian. We have none to be at a high level in Europe to aspire for a qualification to the Olympics.   W Handball is really the most obvious chance in a long shot. The U17 girls showed last summer that it is possible, who knows maybe in Brisbane if the planets allign well.    Paris 2024 was a nightmare I do not want to remember. The worst games I experienced in my life. point.
    • Khm, do we know the fate of the  license in pairs? I did not see confirmation of their entry.   If they fail  must get full license (team + individual) and one more place for team event will be available, am I correct?
    • Honestly, we did not expect more than 8. 2 additional places happened just becaues your double could not grab it due to the injury(?).
    • Vivat Slovakia    But in all seriousness, it's been repeatedly stated how important it is to qualify in a team event for the next Summer Olympics. However, I have no idea if we even have a realistic chance.   We only have one fewer individual athlete competing this year than we did in Paris, so individual quota spots aren't the main issue. Where can we find a competitive team, like we do in hockey? Maybe the women's handball team could start something big, but that's still far in the future, very likely unachievable in just two years.   And to be clear, as horrific as our medal tally from Paris looked, those were some of the unluckiest Olympics for Slovakia I have ever seen. Finishing in the top six seven times (!) is absolutely insane.
    • Biathlon (6 - 2W; 4M)   Anastasia Tolmacheva Andreea Mezdrea (our media put her in)   George Buta Raul Flore Dmitri Shamaev George Coltea   Bobsleigh (4M + 1 reserve)   Constantin Dinescu George Iordache Mihai Păcioianu Mihai Tentea     Figure Skating (1W)   Julia Sauter - flag bearer       Luge (7 - 3W; 4M)   Corina Buzatoiu Carmen Manolescu Raluca Stramaturaru   Denis Serban Marian Gîtlan Eduard Craciun Valentin Cretu     Ski Jumping (4 - 2W; 2M)   Delia Floea Daniela Haralambie   Daniel Cacina Mihnea Spulber   Alpine skiing (2 - 1W; 1M)   Sofia Moldovan   Alexandru Stefanescu   Nordic skiing (3 - 1W; 2M)   Delia Reit   Paul Pepene Gabriel Cojocaru   Snowboard (2W)   Kata Mandel Henrietta Bartalis   For me it’s a very special edition because two of my friends (Edi Craciun and Gabi Cojocaru) made it. So fingers crossed for them and for the whole delegation.   We don’t expect to much as usual in winter games (1-2 top 10 - luge team, women’s doubles luge, 2man bobsleigh, and maybe Julia Sauter if she will skate clean both programs)
