So, he changed nationality because he wanted or Cyprus bought him? 

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.

Its a very interesting "coincidence" that all favorites except for the Netherlands had to run in lane 1 or lane 8 ...

Thanks to Stahl's throw Obergföll will miss Rio 99%, she won silver in London. I am very sad for her, but Stahl is simply amazing and deserves to be in Rio, considering that she hasnt much time to train and still manages to be world-class.

For which nation did the turkish triple jumper compete before he became a turkish citizen?

(I knew that i had seen his face before and then i remembered him, because he had a very funny name)
