I think this was the worst event were results still are nowhere to be found, at least correct and complete results. How is this possible?

Ca. 31.000 spectators at the Kamila Skolimowska Memorial in Chorzow tonight. That's pretty impressive! (free tickets and a great weather surely helps ;) ).

 

Gudzius 66,15 in the discus so far. Lisek vs Barber for PV win at 5.85 (Lavillenie & Wojciechowski out at 5.80)

That's what I call "long-term bet" :roflmao:

 

My bet on Wozniacki to win a Grand Slam took me 7-8 years to be paid out :p

Christian Taylor - the triple-jumper - just finished 3rd in the 400m Hurdles :whistle:

 

Steven Gardiner wins in 44,43 (only 0,02 slower than his silver medal winning run from London last year).

    • Yep. Not sure if it was the NOC or the biathlon federation (I assume the latter) that put him in the Livigno training 'world' with a former Italian biathlete as coach, but they can definitely also be blamed:  almost everyone involved in that shitshow got the motivation just sucked out of them by the methods and shitty atmosphere until they either retired or changed country

    • Lots of injuries, including often just pure bad-luck stuff like a fall from a set of stairs, illness, and of course the Sochi tragedy in 2014: one of her biathlon friends, young Julia Pieper, killed herself with a biathlon rifle early during the Olympics (she wasn't on the team, but was a training partner of both Preuss and Dahlmeier). Obviously a hard hit, which led to terrible Olympics for Preuss, with a DNF, awful results in her other individual races and a relay where she was the first runner for Germany, but fell early on, got snow in her rifle and broke a pole and ended up losing almost 3 minutes, which in turn resulted in Germany being off the podium for the first time ever.   After that came all the injuries and illness and everything. So glad to finally see her have her big individual global gold, that is so well deserved.
    • Dave Ryding's Sixth was the best from a  man since 1934!  We actually have two Women's Golds in the 1930s.
    • first win for the Italian men's relay since 2007      very good Home stage for us   if only the organizers didn't set the finals sessions at 2 p.m. (especially on Saturday), there would have been a lot more spectators on the seats
