Yes, you're a little late to the party because someone else posted that as well :p 

 

Nonetheless, you're of course still welcome to the party :evil:

 

Definitely, we might as well get to know yet another Yasemin Can during the last day of the Champs :d

Oh dear... Turkey going for gold in both half marathons. This is so far away from being an European Championships. EAA must do something immediately before Turkey completely destroys European athletics.

Unlikely, considering that she's in 88th place (2 min behind leaders) after 5km. :p

Whoever planned the start of the half-marathon is extremely stupid.

The kenyan guy who now competes for Azerbaijan actually wanted to get russian citizenship, but when it didnt work, he just became a citizen of Azerbaijan ...

I think EAA should just expel Turkey. If Turkey wants to continue with this embarrassing shit, then they should try to do it in Asia (or better Africa). At a global stage this doesnt really bother me, because Turkey wont win any medals at olympic games or world championships anyway.

Its completely stupid that you can qualify a relay by running 2 fast times in the same competition on a super fast track. Nigeria, Russia and Ukraine had their two fastest times in just 2 days on the super fast track in Beijing.

    • Vittozzi- Wierer in 2019 or even some later. They are still not close friends and do not train together: Vittozzi has been training alone since last season, Wierer with the men's team for 4-5 years and the rest of the Italian team still separately - Vittozzi trained with this second group until she suffered an injury in the autumn of 2024.
    • So far, the Russians haven't even reached the Dnieper River, so don't worry. Poland has the same problem as Ukraine, in that there are no major geographical obstacles to the east: mountains, lakes, rivers, etc. The terrain is quite flat, but to reach Warsaw in a few days, the country would have to fall apart, the army would collapse and the authorities would have to escape from the country. 
    • Probably 0% but in 1939 Germans reached the outskirts of Warsaw after only eight days (the border was more to the east than it is now i.e. they had less ground to cover). The ugly truth is NATO would most likely bide their time in response so the entire eastern Poland would be a battle field for a while.
    • What was the Italian conflict? I can't quite remember.
    • And is there any chance that the Polish president would have escape within the first 2-3 days of war? Probably 0%. In 1939, the authorities escaped, but after an attack from 2 sides, the first being the German attack.
    • Hmm, and were they wanted to capture Kyiv in three days? Since middle of 2022, their run has been slow, so I don't think they'll be using any rapid maneuvers on the future. They surprised Ukraine at the very beginning on the war and were close to success. Zelenskyy only needed to flee the country in the first 2 or 3 days of the war. And Russia could have counted on this happening, because Zelenskyy wasn't an experienced politician or soldier and could have do however they wanted. In my opinion, Zelensky's role in Putin's plan ruined everything for them- he, as a populist and inexperienced man, was to escape from Kiev in the first few days of the war. Then Russia would have put in one of its own- Yanukovych? and Europe and the USA would probably have approved that.
    • Fortifications could only work for illegal immigrants but not against drones. We're wasting missiles worth millions of euro to shoot down drones worth 10k. It's anyone's guess how quickly Russians would reach Vistula River if the invasion came from two sides (Kaliningrad & Belarus). It would be days and not weeks...
    • Shocking news 😔 We just saw him competing 2 days ago in Annecy. 
    • Yes, and Ukraine is very important to Putin- far more important than the Baltic states, Georgia or even Poland. Without Ukraine, the restoration of the former USSR will be impossible for Putin. Another thing is that with pro-Russian Ukraine, Poland will have its entire eastern and northern border (Kaliningrad) with unfriendly countries except Lithuania, so it will basically have to militaries the all entire eastern part of Poland and build various fortifications there.
