Tereza Ďurdiaková makes it as only 4th Track & Field athlete from Czech to match the qualifying standarts. I truly believe more will come before June ends.

Marathon, Dresden

 

:GER Simon Boch 2:10,47

 

He's the fourth German runner to get the standard in marathon. In case there are more than three Germany will nominate the three fastet, and Boch is currently third on this list. But Richard Ringer has Another chance in April at the Hamburg marathon.

I posted this in another threat the other day, and I said I smelled something fishy. Well, now it deserves to go here, cause there is something really fishy behind:

 

Quote

 

A new record in marathon for :HON was set last week in Germany by Iván Zarco with 2:17:46.

 

Nothing groundbreaking or weird to this, except for the fact that it wasnt Iván Zarco running. Photos of the event show that it was spanish athlete Camilo Santiago running with his bib. Idk what happened there, but WA is giving it as a national record for Ivan when it wasnt even him racing. I smell something fishy.

 

 

Apparently, the real Ivan Zarco is injured and couldn't run the marathon, so :ESP Camilo Santiago put on the bib and the outfit of the honduran athlete (Camilo even used long sleeves and high socks, what he never does while compiting, to cover his recognisable tattoos) and run the marathon not in his full potential (has a 2:09 PB), but in a good enough time so he beat the Honduras national record and Ivan Zarco would be frontruuner to be selected by the Honduran federation to be the universiality representative of the country at the Games.

 

The fraud was on for a few days, the :HON federation posted about the record and the WA published Ivan Zarco's time and everything.

 

But, someone, watching pictures of the Dresde marathon, recognised Camilo Santiago with another bib, and it got to the spanish press.

Camilo Santiago defended himself in Social Media, he said that he was doing a test for an upcoming marathon for him, and that someone stole his clothes and his bib, and Ivan Zarco, who allegedly was in Dresde but wouldn't run the marathon due to a fasciitis, was kind enough to let him borrow his clothes. And that they asked for permission to the Marathon Organization and they accepted it, but they forget to change the name of the bib in th final race result.

 

However the Dresde organization has spoken today and denies Camilo Santiago's facts. They didn't have knowleage about Camilo running with another bib, cause they wouldn't have admitted. They DQ Ivan(Camilo from the race and have proceeded to notify the relevant authorities.

 

 

This is a big scandal that could had end with a cheater in the Olympics. (Of two, since Camilo tecnically had chances to be selected for the Spanish marathon squad). I guess World Athletics should take hands in the matter and do a propper investigation, and sanction the wrongdoers.

    • Yes, he is ones of the first supporters of Milei, owner of one of the most important stock market of Argentina (Bull market), he was peronist and for "unknown reasons" start to be libertarian.   Even being libertarian in my case, i have to admit that him is one of the dumbest of "Milei supporters" and a clown when  he is in TV, he made me feel  embarrassed in many occasions.   Camila Giorgi being with him is.......inconceivable.
    • Ya but the replacement is Pat Bondi, a choice that is only better in so far as Pat Bondi isn't credibly accused of having had sex with multiple underaged girls.   Also, you might recognize this name: Pete Hoekstra has been nominated to be the US ambasador to Canada.
    • Camila Giorgi has a new BF Ramiro Marra. Apparently he's some politician/journalist from Argentina. One of Milei's supporters dare I say? @LDOG@konig            
    • Skeleton Tour moves on to Yanqing  this weekend.  Asian Cup races tomorrow, then the World Cup on Saturday, and then possibly more Asian Cup next weekend before everyone moves over to Altenberg for the start of the full Skeleton / Bobsleigh tour again. 
    • 2-1.   But it's good to have a great champion in the squad. I've been waiting for this my whole life. I wish we had such stars in every sport.
    • But he beat Mouat, who seems to be almost unbeatable 
    • Argentina has a really solid lineup, especially if they have prepared seriously for this event. Of course they don't have a champion like we do, but in this format it is enough to win 1 match to play the decisive doubles.
    • Today we must to beat Argentina. It looks like Sinner will have to win all the singles and doubles for us to defend the title. So far, the 2nd and 3rd favorites before the tournament have already been eliminated: Esp and USA.
