Bronze for Ta Lou!! Okay, okay....

I've developed a severe case of Azerbaijanitis. Every time I see a naturalized athlete competing for Azerbaijan, I immediately get sick in the stomach.

He's like 85 years old and will have to get up to pee in 30 minutes, no worries. He'll be back.

IAAF authorities upon receipt of the transfer from the Qataris ...

if your idea of "healthy" is being as skinny (anorexic/bulimic in some cases) as long distance runners/road cyclists and any other endurance sport or stuffed with steroids/artificial hormons and other devilish medicines like sprinters or weightlifters or any other sport that requires a bit of power and strenght... well, I take as a better role model those "morbidly obese" people all of my life... p.s. you look at the half empty glass (and being racist, because this is a form of racism as well)...just change for a while your perspective...think about how much they can do for all those people who are heavily depressed and unhappy because they are discriminated just for their size/aspect... kids should learn education and respect, not only "healthy" habits when it comes lunch/dinner time...

Right. From Ouagadugou, Normandy.

Ignoring a couple of users goes a long way in keeping my sanity when I post here.

Also, no users' reports in 176 pages. Amazing!

Though it ruffles many a feather to think they have added this while a great event like the 50km walk is going to be tossed to the kerb.

Don't know what was more wild, SAFP hair or that performance

Nice liar, but there's a good search function on the forum... 5 August 2017 after men's discus throw with no medal for Germany "I think we have to face reality: An event where 3 fat guys, who probably couldnt run 100 m without a heart attack, win the medals cant be called a sport."

Quick explanation: In which athletics events do heavier athletes usually compete? Hammer, discus throw, shot put. Which country's performance in those events is getting worse, going from always winning 3,4,5 medals at every WCH edition to 0 medals in 2017 and maybe 1 this year? Germany. Therefore: hate on the "obese people" who win medals in those events, they set a very bad example for children. Who is the most evident example of top athlete who is extremely and unhealthily skinny? Klosterhalfen, a German. Therefore: no problem with dangerously underweight people, they're not such a bad example for children.

I agree. This modern idea that skinny = healthy has really done damage to so many lives in our society. I've lived in East Asia where the majority of people are very skinny. And if you ask many of them to help you move a 20 lbs desk they'll faint from exhaustion. Not to mention the mental health damage they endure from endless ridicule if they eat more than 3 bites at dinner. There are healthy and unhealthy people of all sizes. I'm always amazed at the concern some people suddenly have for the health of strangers, especially women. But let's be real here, it has nothing to do with health and everything to do with hate, discrimination and selfishness. If it were about health, these people would care equally about steroid abuse, smoking, drinking and mental well-being (and thus wouldn't be so mean to strangers). Not that it should matter, but she lost 50 lbs over the last year. Again, if people actually cared about her health they would know that and be celebrating her progress rather than attacking her. But as I said, the hatred has nothing to do with concern for her health. In any event, DeAnna Price was on the American softball team, played 4 sports at the elite level in college and just won a gold at the highest level. Meanwhile some troll on the internet who probably struggles to scratch his own ass is trying to attack her because she doesn't fit his fantasy of the perfect woman. Who is the winner and who is the loser in this situation?

I live in Dublin since the beggining of September and I hear a lot of people discussing about the match against Japan. I can tell you that the disppointment is big here...nobody expected this.

That's because we are too busy arguing with each other than to report

Ahh, nothing like a mixed event to bring the forum together

And what about Burundi?

8.45! Wow

in 30 min the snow could appears , you 've never been in antarctica or what

Can we have a 'Buuuurn!' reaction button?

I am pretty sure the release date of the background video doesn't matter if the audio is old. We are voting for the songs/recordings, not the videos, which are just a "bonus" because we are using YouTube and not, for example, Spotify.

F1 and all motosports are crap. Just driving circles and noise and pollution. Apart from Formula E, where it's just driving circles.

In this world, only death and taxes are certain, and that the IAAF will organize a championship in a country that has as much in common with athletics as bald with a comb.

I fell down when I read it. It is not healthy to laugh at night, my lungs still hurt

WCh needs to go to Nairobi damn soon to make up for this.

She reminds me much more of David Coulthard.

You just searched for 'pedophilia'? That's shady man

Well, as I said I have no sence of humour

Oh come on, bronze for a tiny sports nation like Burkina Faso is worth much more than a few points in a prediction contest

Taylor, he did that to Claye again

Like comrades said "it was a good plan, but execution failed"

Alison Felix becomes the most decorated track athlete of all-time I believe...

Asking a woman to sprint against a man is just too much. This was very uncomfortable to watch to be honest.

ee, upper volta

Zango 17,46 and he's on 3rd place now!

When the team name was abbreviated to SVN, played very well and won the first set. When it was changed to SLO starting with the second one, Serbia dominated the game and easily won. COINCIDENCE? I DON'T THINK SO.

Damn 8.45!

Made in china

Hopefully just one jumps over then.

8 tied girls winning gold would be cool and urban

The last time a German complained about a broad group of people, it didn’t end well... just saying

The W 20km Race Walk tonight was moved due hot weather by "unbelievable" 29 minutes from 22:30 to 22:59

Berlin Marathon, Men: Guojian Dong 2:08,28 Peter Herzog 2:10,57 Yassine El Faathaoui 2:11,08 Matt Llano 2:11,14

Garcia, what hero

Great final 5km! Congrats to everyone, but Dunfee's charge in the last 10km was crazy!

what a performance for 40 years old Vieira

Adding the 50km walk for women to the Olympics would be far better than a pointless mixed 4x400m relay. The leading women in this 50km race are about in the middle of the pack in the men’s race so this is a way more valuable event.

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