Athletics IAAF World Championships 2017

Susan Randall from US, PB 4:54 is now listed in the entrys in women's 50km. ¿Why? She clearly didn't reach the mark. I mean Spain has a women in 4:47, why can't we send her?

Yep, with help from a Belgian-US lawyer (the one who travelled from the US to London earlier to lobby with all IAAF Council members to try and keep the 50k on the schedules) :p

I thought it was the IAAF having some criteria and accepting more women to enlarge the field... poor peruvian women who came second in that race being left out.

Well yeah, but area champions apparently are qualified, so that's the way it is.

6th in European champs a year later (but nowhere near the time he had in the 2013 final), then in 2015 he had exactly zero serious results (5 races, 4 of them really slow, 1 DNF), and after that DNF in June 2015 all I can find about him in terms of results is an indoor 500m (not impressive) in January of this year, so literally nothing last year.

 

Now I'm curious as well about the reasons for all that :p

    • After all, Trento is the capital of Alto Adige... For me personally Trento is nicer places than Bolzano, but I haven't been there for many years, so maybe I would have a different opinion now.

    • A comeback would absolutely be doable  - Joe Pavey, Mara Yamauci  & Georgia Hunter Bell all rejoined the sport very successfully after many years out with careers or family.
    • That's great, congratulations to both of you! I wish her a good recovery. 
    • This is not a full retirement, but kind of a break/sabbatical due to...reasons.    For those who have been following @brunamoura's journey towards and last February eventually, finally, at the Olympics, this might be an interesting update. The 2030 Olympics are still in her sight, but next year's world championships in February seem...unlikely.   She still needs to do at least two surgeries, one on her nasal cavities due to a chronic inflammation that has been bothering her for years, and one on her legs. In the Olympic season she struggled immensely with pain in her legs, which in the freestyle technique made her sometimes just not even able to move and therefore finish or even start the races. The Olympic 10k freestyle was hard and painful, but she managed to get through it. We knew she was dealing with compartment syndrome, which is quite serious and certainly needs to be dealt with surgically, but the recovery time for that meant that doing so during the season would likely jeopardize the Olympics - again.   The plan was to do the surgeries this year, but that's unlikely to happen now...    
    • My admittedly tiny sample at least made it feel like the safest and nicest place     Milan....I was very glad to be out of there, Bologna almost felt even worse, and I was also happy to leave Trento behind after barely a day there   Livigno didn't feel bad like that, the issue there is that Livigno people seem to believe the world outside of Livigno doesn't really exist.   Every time I have been in South Tyrol though, it always just felt...lovely, cozy, nice, friendly, and so on.   But obviously that is all a matter of opinion. Besides that I mostly went on statistics and Alto Adige generally scoring very high in things like quality of life and low crime rates  
    • Very interesting Article, not a lot of vast shocks in it, but great that she's found some happiness. She switched allegiance to Ireland from the US quietly a few years back, but I'd say the odds on her acting on it are pretty long - still, it maybe feels like a little statement of emancipation to herself, in which case, good on her.
    • That Kazda´s first goal was also something else
