Wouldn't be surprised if they would finish last in the relays on the men's side. I'm insulted you didn't make fun of our pole vaulters...

Gudžius will not be starting, Palšytė injured, that's already at least 20 points right there. The team is going to be announced today, but a lot of our leaders are not going to be present, so it feels as if we're not even trying this time. Is there an overview of the Lithuanian team?

Werloc 3,127 Posted August 1, 2019 #25 Share Posted August 1, 2019 So, the team from Lithuania is finally clear: Fairly weak entries from 100m, Šerkšnienė is recovering after an injury, weak women's 1500/3000/5000 and men's 5000, tragic women's 100m Hurdles and only third best Lithuanian for 400m. Hurdles, not very good for the men's side either. Bad 3000m SC from the women, and the high jump, Baikštytė is injured. Don't need to say anything about Pole Vault, Gedrimas might get something better now that he jumped 5.00. Second/third best athletes for both long jumps and weak male triple jumper. Throwers are overall fine, except that Gudžius is not participating, on the other hand, our women's hammer is now capable of 60m, not 48, so that's nice. 4x400 women's relay should do well, other relays, well, not so much. 100 m Karolina Deliautaitė 100 m Kostas Skrabulis 200 m Agnė Šerkšnienė 200 m Gediminas Truskauskas 400 m Modesta Justė Morauskaitė 400 m Rokas Pacevičius 800 m Eglė Balčiūnaitė 800 m Benediktas Mickus 1500 m Monika Elenska 1500 m Simas Bertašius 3000 m Loreta Kančytė 3000 m Simas Bertašius 5000 m Loreta Kančytė 5000 m Egidijus Adomkaitis 100 m b/b Gabrielė Čeponytė 110 m b/b Rapolas Saulius 400 m b/b Erika Krūminaitė 400 m b/b Rapolas Saulius/Artūras Janauskas 3000 m kl/b Evelina Miltenė 3000 m kl/b Justinas Beržanskis Šuolis į aukštį Urtė Baikštytė Šuolis į aukštį Adrijus Glebauskas Šuolis su kartimi Vitalija Dejeva Šuolis su kartimi Osvaldas Gedrimas Šuolis į šolį Augustė Regalaitė Šuolis į šolį Marius Vadeikis Trišuolis Dovilė Kilty Trišuolis Paulius Svarauskas Rutulio stūmimas Ieva Zarankaitė Rutulio stūmimas Šarūnas Banevičius Ieties metimas Liveta Jasiūnaitė Ieties metimas Edis Matusevičius Disko metimas Ieva Zarankaitė Disko metimas Aleksas Abromavičius Kūjo metimas Agnė Lukoševičiūtė Kūjo metimas Tomas Vasiliauskas 4x100 m Karolina Deliautaitė 4x100 m Kostas Skrabulis Augustė Regalaitė Gediminas Truskauskas Aistė Unskinaitė Giedrius Rupeika Gunda Jakimavičiūtė Mantas Šeštokas Agnė Šerkšnienė Valentinas Bukovskis 4x400 m Agnė Šerkšnienė 4x400 m Rokas Pacevičius Modesta Justė Morauskaitė Benediktas Mickus Eglė Balčiūnaitė Darius Križanovskij Erika Krūminaitė Einius Trumpa Artūras Janauskas Rinktinės vadovė: Nijolė Medvedeva Valentinas Bukovskis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werloc 3,127 Posted August 2, 2019 #26 Share Posted August 2, 2019 With the final entries available now, we have an abundance of twelfth places looking at season bests: 12. Men's 400m 12. Men's 5000m 12. Women's 100m Hurdles 12. Men's 400m Hurdles 12. Women's 400m Hurdles 12. Women's Pole Vault 12. Women's Long Jump 12. Women's Hammer Throw 12. 4x400 Men even without the SBs A lot of 11s and 10s all around as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Gonçalves 23 Posted August 2, 2019 #27 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Portugal SBs puts them (without the 4x100 and 4x400) in an average position of 5.61 for men and 5.17 for Women so I guess we can expect a 5-6th position and victories in both sexes in triple jump and in women discus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis 600 Posted August 2, 2019 #28 Share Posted August 2, 2019 On 31/07/2019 at 18:46, Dennis said: Just posting some predictions without even really looking into the teams. I think it will be pretty close though between the teams. Norway might have the advantage from the home crowd. After seeing the entry lists, my predictions haven't changed much. Maybe I'd swap and for places 4 and 5 and swap and for places 8 and 9. I expect to win all relays which could help them win this division, but has some very clear favorites in the men's 1.500m, 3.000m and 5.000m and in the women's 3.000m, giving them so many guaranteed points that they could rival for the first place, especially in front of a home crowd. I think the closest events should be the men's 100m, men's 200m and women's 400m. On the other hand, some events such as the women's shot put, pole vault and discus throw have some very poor entry lists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlympicIRL 4,769 Posted August 2, 2019 Author #29 Share Posted August 2, 2019 I've done a quick calculation based on the season's rankings of the entered athletes (obviously SB are themselves problematic as some athletes are being entered in events they didn't compete in this year). There may be a couple of miscalculations but it's a rough guide... also these are without the relays.... 259 ------------------ 256 246 238 234 230 220 ------------------ 197 181 170 146 Looks like the bottom 4 have a lot of work to do based on that. Teams like Romania and Turkey will probably perform better than SB lists as they tend to do. Some teams had an experienced athlete with no SB so that will obscure the table too and as I said, that is without the relays. Norway has home advantage which should lift them to gain a few points more than expected here and there. I don't see Ireland getting out of the relegation zone as we don't really have any scope to improve on the track as we already gain many points there and we are just too weak in the field events.

OlympicIRL 4,769 Posted August 2, 2019 Author #30 Share Posted August 2, 2019 (edited) And my predictions are as follows: Edit: I originally was going to say Norway for the reason they have home advantage and will pick up a lot of surprise points, but in a league so close as this, I just realised how weak their relay teams are and that's 4 big concessions right there. So based on that, I think will bring it home. Relegated teams: and . There are a lot of strong teams in the field events this year (Belarus and Hungary) and Turkey and Portugal are proving to be good across the board so will be tough for any of these 4 teams (each with weak areas) to make up the difference. Romania may be the most likely to cause a surprise as you never know how their athletes truly are in terms of shape, but those would be my picks.
