Mohammed Ahmed is just as Canadian as me. We are a nation of immigrants, including my family. The topic is done.

guys, can we write only about athletics, please? I think we've gone way too far with arguments that should be discussed in the Politics thread and not here...thanks!

Germany have a lot to be proud of here. You are equal with Burkina Faso in the medals table.

I agree - I apologize and accept responsibility for participating in this and furthering the discussion. I should have just ignored the trolling and provocation of some posters.

Why are posts being deleted? @OlympicsFan should face the consequences for the stupid and provocative posts that he regularly makes.

You should come visit Canada. Lots of Ahmeds here.

My prediction : Klaebo, Hegstad Krueger, Johnsrud Sundby

The Nobel prize of idiocy who invented this schedule

Guys this is close. The medals could or or even

I guess it was just because of the shit dog on his skis, Norwegians clearly looked struggling with wax tonight

All you need is to read the posts of some users on this forum in this thread alone, and it's very easy to understand why extreme right-wing populism is running rampant across Europe

That’s an understanding of Canadian-ness that is completely foreign to Canadians.

It's an extreme right-wing talking point, and frankly I'm disturbed that such views are being expressed on a site that's supposed to represent sport at its highest level. These people need to leave their politics at home and stop trying to tell me what Canada is and who a Canadian is.

It's so funny to read your first post, and then have you follow it up with this garbage. Canada, and most western nations do not buy athletes. They are either born there, or settle as immigrants or refugees and then compete for their adopted nation. You are right, facts certainly do not matter when it comes to your posts and comments.

Exactly. Same thing as, for example, Sifan Hassan. Or Mo Farah.

Lets be real Ahmed would not have won this medal had he not CHOSEN to move to and live/train in Canada.

Somalia but he moved to Canada when he was 11 yo

And lots of orange men in the US. Names mean nothing

After 4th in Rio, noce to see Ahmed medal

Dance Dance Revolution is not really my thing.

2 Canadians into the final!

Bassant Hemeida is the 1st Egyptian woman to pass 1st Rd ever in a major Athletics event really great job by her

That´s fine, not really important. but have you heard the rumors apparently they brought 6000 doses of Asthma medication This was the next one, you stole my joke man

The good news is there’s still some asthma medication left in Doha

Brexit Virgin Islands

47.42 being disappointing only shows how insane this event has been in the past two years

Açaí is life!

Thankfully we now have the new European Commission for "European way of life" and traditional values to be preserved in Europe.

In fact, he could fit Carolina Kluft inside himself.

Stahl reminds carolina kluft

Actually (luckily) the populism in Europe looks to have reached its peak and started its way down.

I'm just saying that nationality and citizenship are two different things. That's all. But I can see a difference between Ahmed and for example Guliyev.

How lovely to see Winnie celebrating with her team mate, despite finishing 4th.

as they wrote, he moved there when he was 11...he's been raised, educated, trained his entire life in Canada...how can people not consider him fully Canadian? OK, his blood is not from there...probably his heart's still bleeding because he had to leave his native Land, but he must be considered Canadian at 100% in any case...

To be honest he is not. You're Canadian, he is Somalian with Canadian passport. But he was raised in Canada and probably training in Canada so he's "fruit from your garden" and that's fine with me.

I agree. With all the naturalizations it becomes kind of pointless to have a competition based on nationality. They should just have world championships for teams and not for nations.

Henrik had troubles with waxing today apparently

Got more wheat on the flag than they had in the shops.

Qatar will host everything all what you want I wish my birthday too

Ivet Lalova still looking mighty fine

Based on history, I bet everyone's using doping but only some get caught. And let's be honest, there's a special emphasis on countries like Russia, China or East Africa while the Western countries are able to get away with it. The last major doping scandal involving track & field athletes from USA only got exposed because it was so big it stretched beyond this single event. Imagine if Coleman was Russian or Kenyan. He'd be eaten alive by all the Western media. Now it's just finding excuses for him. Few years ago I used to hate Dwain Chambers but at least he was honest about his doping. No typical bullshit we hear all the time now.

hey, guys! It's not a secret that I'm not the youngest user on this forum... but, despite my age, I'm not so decadent yet... and actually, I still have a pretty thick hair (all natural, no colouring nor any other trick)...

Indians in Action ATP Tour 500 Tour Japan:-Rohan/Dennis, Divj/Artem play in Rd1 ATP Challenger Barcelona:- Ramkumar plays in Rd1 Ramkumar/Sergio play in Rd1 Campinas :- Sumit plays in Rd1 Sumit/Federico play in Rd1 Nur Sultan:- Sasi plays in Rd1 Ramkumar/Evgeny move into QF

I told my wife (chinese national) and her response: Why the hell you automatically think when we are good at something that we must cheat Well let's see 2 chinese in top 50km walk and 3 chinese in top 20km walk ..... Something does not smell right and I guess everybody with common sense must spot that.

I mean, even Russia never used to sweep race walk events, and look what happened to them...

@TomJa don’t go down that route. This thread doesn’t need 45 more pages.
