Athletics at the Summer Olympic Games 2020


Recommended Posts

Just noticed Canada's fifth gold medal in the decathlon means that is the second highest at one games ever (third if you include the boycotted 1984 games). For having the worst restrictions with Covid19 this an unexpected result.

That's it. Dawid is last Olympic champion on 50km race walk! What a beautiful story :cheer: 

 

@Monzanator @Adriano We can count his medal as always at least one surprising medal which always happen at each Games, like Sylwia Bogacka in London or Oktawia Nowacka in Rio :d 

Nowacka wasn't that unexpected since she won medals at World Champs before. The most unexpected I saw was probably Rzepkowski in skeet in 1996.

Hope all athletes will have a last celebration walk together after the race. This is the least they deserve.

Hey, IOC wants 12 year olds kids doing tricks for 40 seconds. 50km walk stands no chance versus the urban crap :mad:

That is maybe a silent protest by Villanueva: He doesn't want the 50km at the Olympics to end and go the way of C2 Slalom and Individual Track Cycling Pursuit.

 

 

Awesome protest would be to keep walking, perfectly abiding by the rules, but taking 7+ hours to finish :d

    • Women´s World Championship 2025 (Brno, Ostrava  )   DAY 8 - 13.12.2025     Semifinals   -   1-0 -   3-6      5th-8th Places Semifinals   -   4-3 -   4-3 After OT
    • Sooooo, after day 2 :     No change. To clarify, Thorup confirmed she was not going to the Games. But she still collected three quota for  that can be used by any other athlete. Still, Lindenskov has not achieved any minimum qualification time so she's not eligible.    Braun just had to finish the race. She could have started and bailed out like a couple of skaters did in the 500m. But she went all the way and got DQed  So only one Polish skater and Smedding is in (she would have received an additional quota anyways).   Horikawa was given the huge edge of starting in A division thanks to a couple of Dutch skips. Despite running 3s slower than Yang she still retrieved a comfortable amount of points to secure her spot. Yang benefited from the quartets but things could have gone to the wire if they ran in the same division.    Italy not starting. Failing to qualify while they only had to be top 12 (with 14 teams competing) is a huge blow.    Nope Nope Nope   It was tense. Before last pair Semirunniy Lorello and Snellink (in that order with the tie breaker rule) were tied with 110 points, ahead of Henriksen. Meaning that Semirunniy was in and Snellink in too but only in the SOQT ranking, thus depriving the Netherlands of their 9th man. But Eitrem, ranking 0.07 ahead of Semirunniy, and a few seconds later Dawson, 0.10 ahead of Lorello, reshuffled the rankings completely, saving both countryman Henriksen and Dutch matrix selectors.    So Semirunniy, as the world leader in the 10k (not the same event indeed) and 4th of one of the three WC qualifying races is not going to race in Milano. I guess the easy answer is to put that on him. But Sasaki, with 6'21, 13'30 and 6'21 is qualified, because he managed to be a tad faster in the first race of the season on the fastest track in the world. Semirunniy mismanaged his efforts in a flawed system that allows time quota in a World Cup circuit with huge track discrepancies, which works with unfair divisions rewarding way too much already established athletes. Like, look at those injured skaters not even going a hundred meters banking more points than 95% of B division, and yet still taking a spot next week. Erin Jackson could pull this till the end of the season and remain top 16.
