I hate being a gay man with these sprint slow-mo repeats of the races.... I lost my focus all the time

Or for @dcro when they showed the horse

BBC commentator pronouncing the name of Jesus Angel Garcia as the English 'Jesus' and 'angel'

Man, we miss those blue DDR jerseys, are we?

I like it, because that's usually where the Canadians are

Pretty much my opposite, since I run more like a pregnant hippo.

Nice interview though with Busby and Dabó, the guys of yesterday. Busby called Dabó the greatest man with the greatest heart he ever met and said he is an angel, Dabó said he is still very proud of himself

I feel like "politically correct" is just a term to be thrown at anything people don't like. What is "politically correct" about the mixed relay? I guess you'd have to define "politically correct" to begin with. To me, politically correct would mean including a women's version of an event even if there's not enough competitors. It would mean including competitors from every continent even though they are not the best in the world (something that is already done). I don't see how a mixed relay is politically correct.

Tracey's gold chain must have been heavier

huh ?

No problems queuing for hot dogs and beer though! If there was beer. Or hot dogs.

Or for @bestmen when they show the 10000m women

and those big women with moustache... they were so lovely...

Socrates ?

Great job once again from the graphics department. It's crucial that we constantly know who is ranked 12th-21st.

Can’t believe we are in the finals of Mixed relay.

Worst Japanese strategic mistake since attacking Pearl Harbour.

Final for

Hopefully after then next race he will just be a L

LAHOULOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Yeah, because that would be 100km (50km to the bakery, and 50km back again )

How much did Netflix pay you for this comment?

New rules from this year, first time they used it at the Panamerican games, 3 red cards means pit stop for 5 minutes, another red card is DSQ

What cars? One Duracell is enough to dominate women's cross-country skiing...

She just won gold at the World Championships of Athletics. What have you done this week?

Now then, I'll pretend to be of a certain age too and follow their example.

Auferstanden aus ruinen

Podium for De Grasse, i'm really happy for him Good result for Tortu too, 10.07 and new SB

So happy for De Grasse!

not that it was unexpected...but still, this win by Coleman (followed by Gatlin) is another big loss for the sport...point. and it's not just a personal opinion...

iaaf should seriously take into consideration to choose a title sponsor like Hoffman AG, Novartis, Pfizer, Sanofi, Bayer... and adopt a new logo...

SVK

Any news on Mike Powell's comeback?

Gayle 8,69!!! 10th result all-time!!

I predicted that

Watching the female hammer throwers celebrate is nice.

Out of the answers so far, I understand this the most. It does seem like just another opportunity to give medals to the same countries. I don't really follow the "no history" answer, because that can be applied to everything new in order to prevent progress and innovation. I mean, steeplechase has history but is it a natural event? Are hurdles necessary? It's just for entertainment, it's not like any of these events have some sort of intrinsic value outside of athleticism.

I suggest you watch short track if you want to see mass starts. In speed skating it's just boring as hell. Nothing happens until the last lap. FIS wrecked the cross country with 50km mass starts which are downright horrible and mass starts in speed skating are equally repulsive tbh.

Why is mixed relay any less valid than normal relay?

I like that mixed relay

Lavillenie bombs out Time to hang 'em up!

UNBELIVEBLE! Final for Pippo Tortu

It is like women downhill skiers with long ponytails, completely crazy was to slow yourself down when .001 can cost you a Gold Medal.

They think they are too fast. So they gotta grab some weights with them to slow down

game over! Australia win the game 9-3 and qualify to the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games... Softball is the first team sport to have a complete field...now we know all the 6 teams that will play for the Olympic Gold medal: and

Australia wins and qualifies. Softball becomes the first sport with all quota decided.

The Canadian who finished in the top 10 (Lyndsey Tessier, the over 40 national record holder) did not previously meet the standard. Pretty sure her qualification is somewhat of a surprise tbh.

@Wumo Quotas and Olympic qualification if needed for:
