Athletics IAAF World Championships 2017


Recommended Posts

No conspiracy...Italy got a medal but until they introduce technology and objective rules this is worth as a medal in synchronized swimming (next to nothing), not athletics. Two events today were a spot against race walk. :)

Me neither, and I'm 99% sure almost all race walkers want this as well :) 

 

 

 

Surely not "almost all race walkers". :p

'Most race walkers' then. All I've heard/read of race walkers is them saying this would be a welcome addition and that then they'd simply change their technique slightly so they would fall within the rules, much like they do now.

The Lithuanian race walkers would probably be up for electronic shoes, we rarely get any warnings during competitions and I don't really remember if we were ever disqualified in race walk. Anyways, 2 girls in top 20 is a pretty great result for us.

Well, it's a shame, not for Antonella, but becouse they run!

 

I understand the frustration, but when you complain about all the other top athletes in this race and not your own, it kinda enters "conspiracy theory" territory.

I don't care about italian results or about conspiracy theory. I'm not a fan of the italian athletics team.. but this is too much for the race walk, not for Antonella or for Italy. I don't know if you will see the race (or maybe you have already see it) but you can see that they run.

Except that they were all to disqualify...and as I already said even the Italian medal is worth nothing...

As it was said before, every athlete does some "lifts" now and then, some more visible than others. Only changing the rules for this not to happen.

Including the italian? Or you're saying that all the other top athletes should be disqualified and the italian should've won gold?

    • 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
