I’m sorry, but I can’t take any of her results seriously when she was one of the 23 Chinese swimmers who tested positive for TMZ…

FIG finally updated the World Cup ranking. the 2nd Vault quota goes to Olfati , he scored a zero in his last event (landed on his head !!) and finished last. needed a miracle to qualify and that happened. first ever quota in this sport.

HOLY. FUCKING. SHIT. (sorry for swearing) Katzberg WITH A HUGE PB OF 84.38m in Round 5 of men’s hammer throw

and now it's official! the IJF has officially registered Kim Polling's switch from to now she can represent with immediate effect Polling's words on the social media (in Italian...google might be helpful): "Ciao a tutti, mi chiamo Kim Polling e posso dirvi che da oggi posso rappresentare l’Italia. Sono super orgogliosa, grata, contenta e non lo so… ancora mille parole in più per darvi questa notizia. Vi parlo un po’ di me, vivo da otto anni in Italia, mi sono sposata un italiano che si chiama Andrea Regis, anche lui è stato un judoka. Abbiamo una figlia, Aurora, che è nata quasi due anni fa e viviamo a San Mauro Torinese. Ho fatto quest’anno la richiesta all’IJF di cambio nazionalità ed oggi è arrivata la notifica che è stato dato l’ok. Sono davvero super orgogliosa, grata e voglio ringraziare l’Italia, ringraziare l’Accademia Torino, la palestra in cui mi alleno da sette anni e non vedo l’ora per il futuro. Vedremo quello che riesco a fare."

Chinese Olympic trials begins tomorrow. The rules is to choose the any best result of 3 events to compare: 1: 2023 WCH individual event finals and meeting OG standard A 2: 2024 WCH individual event finals and meeting OG standard A 3: 2024 trials individual event finals and meeting OG standard A So based on the past 2023 and 2024 WCH, following swimmers already have eligible results and green parts are almost safe enough to guarantee the tickets before the trials. For relay swimmers, mainly considering trials results.

Update. Doctors have discovered that his condition is acute pancreatitis. It was severe at first (hence him being taken on an ambulance in extreme pain) but his condition got better after time. Today, that all changed, he got worse again and was taken into another wing of the hospital. He’s expected to stay there for about a couple of weeks, maybe even longer. Really hoping he can get well soon, it’s heartbreaking to see him in his current state

Audrey Leduc 10.96!!! In the women's 100. New NR and Olympic quota! Time is legal!

Ethan Katzberg with the meet of his life at the Kip Keino Classic. By a fucking mile. Before today his PB in men’s hammer throw was 81.25m at the 2023 World Championships, where he became a surprise World Champion. Starts off with 81.79m in R1, then 82.06m in R2, 81.50m in R4, 84.38m (!! yes you heard me right) in R5, and 83.26m in R6. That’s 5 marks under his previous PB (the other one was a foul), and a 3.13m improvement. Edit: Also moves him to #9 on the all-time list, none of the athletes above him are still competing. Not to mention he’s only 21 (!) years old, in an event where athletes don’t peak until later on in their career. @intoronto @Topicmaster1010 @james89 @orangeman @NearPup

And Kaila Butler with her third best throw ever (and beat all her throws from 2023) as well. She may have an outside shot at Paris.

Rowan Hamilton with a new PB in men’s hammer throw of 77.16m at the Mt. Sac Relays! Almost half a meter over his previous mark. What a day it’s been for Canadian athletics. Well minus Mitton who had a bit of an off day.

If you can't beat them, make fake sensationalist story about them.

Jillian Weir with her farthest mark in women’s hammer throw since 2022, throwing 71.13m at the LSU Alumni Gold! Mariam Abdul-Rashid also clocked a 12.83 in the women’s 100m hurdles.

I'm not sure where I should post it, so, I will do here Our NOC presented a very good looking promotional video of Olympic Games with using AI, where everything looks so real, imo it's worth to watch. To watch it you need to click link below, as recently I can't added in normal way posts from instagram https://www.instagram.com/p/C5-uHzdI--2/

I am still fond how people who don't like sports are working overtime today to spam the forum.

82.06m in Round 2!!

Is someone genuinely asking why Eastern bloc countries fell off in terms of sporting results after the arrival of democracy? East Germany only competed in 5 Olympics in rowing, but they won 48 medals, including 33 gold. They were only overtaken by the US in 2016 in the all time medal list (and they’re still ahead of the rest) In Athletics, there’s still several European records that exist since the 80s with East Germany, Czechoslovakia, Bulgaria and the USSR all involved. This isn’t a slight on the fine people from Eastern Europe on here and the current athletes doing their best. But the answer to why they were so strong in the 1980s is doping. No one disputes this.

The country is growing in every aspect, bar the sporting one. And this has nothing to do with the EU, as the change started happening already in 1990. It just took 15 years for everything that was built in the prior decades to fully crumble. All results in the 90s and up to Athens was the last pipeline, that was structured in the old system. The truth is, like JoshMartini mentioned, that sport funding, country wide structuring and people's mentality completely changed in one day after the old regime fell. The next day and upcoming years no one was thinking about sports as an important issue. On the contrary, it became the bottom of the barrel. Which is true to this day still. Every time there is a new Government, in the 20 or so Departments, that are structured, the Sports one is always not taken seriously and the sports Minister is looked like a joke amongst the rest. There were even years, when there was no Sports Ministry and sports were added as a backburner in the Education or Youth Ministry. Regardless of the money aspect, i have talked in length before on the old system and how it will never be duplicated. In those days, for every kid, from every town and village, it was mandatory to do sport already from 1 grade. Lots of sports, after school sports, not your typical 2 hours a week killing time, like in the present. Then there were agents, or a special committee, that had a job to go to every town, to every school and scout the best children and navigate them to which sport will be best suited for their abilities, so that they can start specifically training in their pre-teenage days. After that they were taken first from the local coaches, again every big town had training camps for a dozen sports, it wasn't just the one camp, where you could go train for gymnastics etc. Then there were selections between the different regions and only after that you were elevated to National team status and get the full system structure. Nothing like this is being done today. Kids are not only not encouraged to do sports, everything in the system actively tries to discourage them. Any top level athlete we have is purely based on the individual person's desire and a small team around them. I can also add the notion, that kids in the 70-90s were waking up and going to bed with only the thought of playing sports. It doesn't have to be on an organized level, just your regular play with friends. You couldn't find a street, where the neighboring children weren't playing. Even in my teen years, in the mid to late 00s, you had to wait your turn for a football field in my school, even though there are 5. Each of them were always taken, from schoolers to people on their 50s playing matches. You make a goal post on the street and play, it was a luxury to get a normal (concrete) pitch. You walk in the school today and you would be lucky to see 10 children play after school. Everything is phones, tik tok, instagram, video games, cafes etc. Who wants to sweat doing dumb sports. Multiply that for the grind and dedication required for how many years before you become an elite athlete, garnered with non-existing funding, crumbling facilities, not enough knowledgeable coaches and staff in general and you get and optimistic prognosis of 5 medals. And yet, it would still be better, than a huge part of the World. People may laugh, but if we had even 40% of the system and desires from the 80s, we could be fighting for a top 20 in the medal table at least.. (Or you could still say it was only magical potions and mushrooms..)

Both have been nominated to Canada’s Olympic team.
