Dennis 600 Posted August 10, 2019 #142 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Why was DSQ in the men's relay? The relay teams managed to lose 22 points in two finals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are the clear numbers 3 and 4 for me now. Today's losers: Maybe weird to say this as they are the #1 after today, but might be my biggest disappointment of the day. Not because of the two finals which were contested today, but because of the preliminaries in all the sprint events. Maybe they saved energy for the finals? Might not be the case though as they missed 4 of them. Promotion: still the clear favorite for me to get into the Superleague next year. and met the expectations so far. However, and are getting closer. Too bad only one team gets promoted, because these four teams would have had an intense battle for three spots. Relegation: If wasn't saving energy, then and saw their chances of staying in this league increasing, with being the favorite to stay in this division for me taking today's positive results into account. also did well compared to other teams based on how close they were to their SBs, but I still don't see them finishing higher than last place. met the expectations I'd say, with a positive outlier on the women's 400m compensating for the slightly disappointing women's 200m. My thoughts after Day 2: Positive surprises: surprised me in many events, especially in the men's long jump. and continue their good form they showed yesterday. Today's losers: getting disqualified in both relays. Looking at the races, they would have finished first in both relays, so they actually lost 22 points. Had they won those points, I would have had almost zero doubts that would be promoted. Promotion: It's all open now. and will battle it out together. Seeing how well and are doing, they might be the favorites now. Relegation: After the surprisingly good performance of today, I think they will finished in 10th place, leaving behind them. and will battle it out for that 7th spot. Right now, it looks as if might take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romania are doing the opposite. Tomorrow we have at least 3 events with 1 point (pole vault men/women and 3000m steeplechase men) but in rest our best events are tomorrow (long jump women, high jump women, 1500 women, relay women, discus throw men, javelin throw men)so maybe we have a chance to finish in top 7 ....

hckošice 13,261 Posted August 10, 2019 #149 Share Posted August 10, 2019 we all know that we will be relegated, very likely finishing dead last. Actually just a fact we did qualified here is like a kind of sci-fi thing, as a newly promoted team in 2nd division we shocked everyone in Tel Aviv and advanced to this 1st division, but the truth is that we don´t belong there, this is not the real state of our athletics, just look at the Olympics qualifiers, we still qualified 0 in athletics. but the positive thing, our athletes despite enormous handicap against athletes from all the countries they compete against this weekend are really fighting. Great team spirit and display how you have to fight to avoid relegation. Kudos to our athletics team here. even if they´ll probably fail, we can be more than satisfied with what we saw during last 2 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
