Grassmarket 2,786 Posted September 3, 2021 #131 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Oh dear, Niyonsaba slashes through a strong 5000m field again. Strange thing is that the Drummers of used to be a highlight of the Brussels meet, yet the one time they were needed… Nboma wins the 200m easily. Oh dear again.

And it doesn’t seem as easy for World Atheltics as they could well see Semenya back after the evidence correction stuff will probably see another appeal over the 400-1600. And then trying to use those scientists for other distances is just asking for CAS to overturn them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grassmarket 2,786 Posted September 8, 2021 #133 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Two day Diamond League final coming up starting tonight and continuing tomorrow. Tonight's events are on a special city-centre facility for the field events and the two 5000m races, which won't be official counted for records. Tomorrow's events are a throw-back to the old "Olympics in a Night" three hour format of the classic 1980s Zurich meets at the Letzigrunde stadium. The good news is that the stupid and hated "best of one attempt" format for the field events will NOT be used. Here's the full schedule. https://zurich.diamondleague.com/en/programme-results-zurich/ Ted 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grassmarket 2,786 Posted September 8, 2021 #135 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Don’t think anyone can get their heads round this 5000m track: just going to wait for the bell & race it out, I reckon. There is surely no way these shot performances should be valid for record purposes because they are throwing from an elevated platform. Niyonsaba wins that pretty easily. We can look forward to seeing her at the Worlds in Oregon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grassmarket 2,786 Posted September 8, 2021 #136 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Lasitskene 2.05 for a WL! Ted 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NMQ 222 Posted September 8, 2021 #137 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Can't think of many athletes as clutch as Lasitskene. Even when she is not at her best, under pressure, against fierce competition, she still delivers. Mahuchikh will start to dominate this event soon, though.

heywoodu 13,573 Posted September 8, 2021 #138 Share Posted September 8, 2021 The whole thing about the Diamond League rankings being useless and only the final counting to decide the champion didn't exactly work in terms of attracting great fields everywhere, did it? Especially in the men's long jump and women's shot put it truly felt like some random midweek event somewhere on a far-away field hidden from view The women's high jump though If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

opruh 129 Posted September 9, 2021 #139 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Russia dominating as usual. US should ban harder so they can win some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Americans have a huge incentive to go for the win here - automatic pre-qual to a home World Champs. It’s so difficult to peak twice in six weeks.
