Plus seeing how much the 400 took out of Van Niekerk, this might make the women's 200 suck even more if the same happens to Miller. 

 

You are not enjoying Schippers' likely gold?

I would very much prefer Schippers winning silver or bronze in an exciting race than Schippers winning gold in a boring race and then cheer just because she happens to have the same flag behind her name as me

She made the final  Though she threw better in the qualies (65.64 would bring her bronze).

she always disappoints in big competitions.she got new trainer last year and had a good season so far,but to throw 61 in the final is just disapointing

And the ice is cold  Our athletes rarely deliver it when it matters.

But that's the same for almost every athlete, no matter their nationality  

 

I mean, if you have 15 competitions in a year and only one of them is really important, it simply is bloody hard to have your best result in that one competition instead of one of the 14 others

Not really  Ex-Yu athletes can win all 14 competitions prior to the most important one and then flop in it.

 

Of course it's tough, but that's what separates champions from great athletes

I'd find it hard to say Lavillenie is not a champion even though usually he kinda messes up  (ok this year he wasn't the best anyway, but still)

Time for the most unfair heats of all, the 5000m
