Matusevicius with XXX in the javelin Q  

 

He is badly injured, after breaking our national javelin record, he damaged his elbow and couldn't throw. In those two months until the World Championships he only appeared in Lithuanian Championships and U23, those two appearances was the only throwing that he did during his injury, so he couldn't work on his technique.

Wambui beats Sharp. Will we see tears now?

[Майкл 561]

Wambui looks manlier than Semenya, tbh

For Airinė Palšytė this is only the second competition after a bad injury two months ago, she had troubles with 1.90 after that, but hopefully she'll make the final.

What day for us  Furlani 1.80 and awful 800m for Santiusti, only Trost can improve my evening. Our athletics is a crap, really

Okay, we're safe over 1.89. It's actually very sad how I have to be worried at 1.89 for a person that jumped 2.01 a couple of months back Injuries took out around 30% of our team and when our numbers are small, it really takes its tall. Edis and Airinė were the only ones who decided to participate during rehabilitation of their injuries, whilst other 5 athletes declined participation and a few capable ones were taken our earlier in the season.

She tried to change her 'always attack like a madwoman and then fall back in the last 100m'-tactics, but that didn't work out neither

She was locked by the Ugandan athlete  That's what I was talking about

 

Arzamasova won't defend her title.

@dcro Would've been fun to see Vlašič in this one. On the other hand, what happened to Šimič? She looked very good a couple of years ago, but recently has been struggling around 1.90
