a raw footage from the competition 

Another story from my days in . Every year there was a national sports meet, of which the highlight was the Slow Bicycle Race, sort of like a track stand. For many years consecutively it was won by the father of the Monarch, the elderly Seri Begawan Sultan, who somehow always managed to beat the cream of the nation’s young, fit, jungle combat-trained Army Officers.  People in Brunei are very polite, everyone clapped.

Ah there it is. The magic Almaty competition.

Derek Drouin is doing it wrong, that's where he should be chasing the Olympic standard.

What exactly is wrong with Khodjaev's performance? Sure it's a PR, but looking at the past years (including bigger events) it's not that insane at all

let's say that results from KAZ and UZB meets recently haven't been very trustable...and not only in Athletics...

I'm aware of that and plenty of results are dubious indeed, but this specific one is not some impossible record or something  

 

I mean, it's not like in other competitions he never reached 70m.

It's still an obvious result fix which will result in a deserving athlete missing out.

 

He only threw further than 74 m outside of KAZ/UZB once, at the 2018 Asian Games (74.06).

 

In 2015, he magically threw 78 m in July (KAZ), but then at the World Championships merely weeks later he was suddenly at 71 m.

 

Ugh.
