Those 'Ticket to final' signs

Ordoñez

That was disappointing from Vukicevic, go back to Norway.

Belgian commentator: "Running for the Netherlands, Vukicevic in lane 1." Thanks dude, we have an extra athlete

Go Demireva Or anyone jumping over 2 meters, at least the gold shouldn't be decided by 1.98 or something

Yeah but he was missing first

There he is!

Where is Dal Molin?

I'm now reading Arndt is suspected to have a concussion, nothing about Grauvogel apart from a general bit of news saying they both 'probably' escaped major injuries (their bus was hit).

Damn, that is awful...I hope we'll soon hear some alright news come out of Berlin.

Yes

How on earth can he be so happy to see Schippers? I guess it helps that she probably won't have many interviews with Ukrainian TV

@Agger I was only joking mate

List C for the Southern Pacific Ocean, there she is. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tropical_cyclone_naming

Austra Skujyte has the decathlon world record, so there's hope

No! How can you even think of sending someone who projects that much negativity to a place with that much positivity? Might as well send another Hurricane Maria/Irma that way, that'd do less damage.

Wonderful idea! Buy her right now if possible, Tokyo 2020 won't fall within the 3-year deadline so that'd be good

Ever since switching from heptathlon to full-time sprinter, she's become more and more and more 'arrogant', irritating, angry at everyone, blindly mad as soon as anyone says a fact like 'hey, three years ago you were faster'. She has become pure madness and surely the average Dutch person likes her (because she wins a few medals and coincidentally has the same nationality in her passport as them, so hey, gotta cheer for her!), but among athletics fans (in the Netherlands) she is very, very quickly losing her popularity. Basically she is one of the most negative people we have in the Dutch world of sports.

I wouldn't want to do that to @Xander, although it is amusing when she gets shoethrowingly mad.

It's sailing.

I truly wonder why women's decathlon is not being added as a 'thing' yet. I mean, awesome events are being thrown out of the window left and right to make space for women's events (even if they're not competitive), all in the name of gender equality, yet women still have to accept doing 'only' 7 events, jumping over lower hurdles (and a shorter distance), throwing lighter weights and so on. The whole thing of these special women's weights/heights and only 7 events says "women are not as good as men", which is quite odd to be accepted nowadays.

Hassan is actually quite likeable as well, always friendly and polite to everyone and always being quite modest about herself. Too bad she's training with that shady dude in the US though. Churandy Martina and Liemarvin Bonevacia are some of the most chill athletes ever (I guess the Netherlands Antilles have a positive spirit) as well. It's just a matter of waiting for Turkey or Azerbaijan to please help us get rid of Schippers.

Actually it's quite a decent result (not 'great', could have been a meter or so more, but not bad), her 58m is just a huge outlier

Told you

Excellent throw for Schäfer
