Looks like Glavan can't keep this pace. 4th place incoming, after finishing 4th in both 2013 and 2015.

 

Was there ever an athlete who finished 4th at three consecutive World Championships?

 

400m runner Chris Brown finished 4th in the world championships 2005, 2007 and the Olympics in 2008, then 5th in the world in 2009..... very tough streak.

No points for Lorenzo De Luca, actually in 9th position and in crisis, what bad championship for us :facepalm:Our last chance are the 20km

Marco De Luca despite being called Lorenzo for the whole race has decided to keep his original name :p

Only 4 women finished. Randall, who caused this event to be added this year with the help of her lawyer, had a gap of 42:26 after 40 km.

Now they insist for it to be added to the Olympic programme to reach gender equality.

IAAF face more threats of legal action as Tokyo 2020 set as next target for women's 50km walk

As the article says, " Gender equality could be achieved by adding it at Paris 2024 but it could also be done by dropping the men's 50km race walk from the programme."

    • 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
