Yes. Worst ever winning height at U20 worlds: 4.20 m in 2000 and 1998 (the first two times this event was contested) Worst ever height needed for bronze at U20 worlds: 4.10 m in 2000 and 1998 For comparison the marks that won gold/bronze at the last 3 U20 worlds and the result you would have gotten with 4.15 m: 2018: 4.51 m, 4.35 m, 9th place 2016: 4.55 m, 4.40 m, 7th place 2014: 4.50 m, 4.45 m, 9th place At 2018 U18 Euros it took 4.26 m to win gold and 4.16 m to win silver. At 2021 U20 Euros it took 4.30 m to win gold, 4.20 m to win silver and 4.15 m to win bronze. I think this event clearly suffered from the absence of the german and american girls.

i see it works , here women's pole vault https://www.worldathletics.org/competitions/world-athletics-u20-championships/world-athletics-u20-championships-7136587/live#timetableDetail/Result/27626

Livetiming doesn't work today, but RAI shows someone with pole on the background

It was about 'this will not be good for Paris 2024 because a historic sport will not be on the program', which led to how it most likely won't matter at all for Paris 2024 as a whole.

The IOC would never scrap one of the most popular sports no matter how corrupt and doped the governing body is.

yeah, that will be simply devastating. A total blank, emptiness a national disaster that will be really difficult to overcome. yeah I think something like that yes, or maybe something like in Basketball this year or failing to qualify for last WC in Russia..and probably even more painful

And before tiktok it was snapchat, before that Instagram, before that twitter, before that Facebook, before that chat rooms and before all of them video games and before that even TV was being talked about as a reason for ‘the youth’ being less interested in sport People have more choices than ever before but sport and the Olympics is still huge

I will root for the ians even more so as they are not going to play against :D I assume this is similar to you as for us not qualifying in water polo (never happened since 1924!)

I think Slovakia is more likely to win the qualification tournament than O'Toole is to be the next PM...

I honestly can’t see how anybody could have any sympathy for weightlifting They've had years to try and clean up their sport

Olympics are for all fans all over the world not for those from France only..

because a historic sport will not be in program

For which they are receiving shit tons of (deserved) criticism inside their own country.

A couple of European nations not exactly covering themselves in glory in Kabul. https://pjmedia.com/instapundit/468309/#respond Always first in line when it comes to giving lectures on human rights to the Americans & Israelis, of course.

Confirmed around 7000 tickets will be available for sale for every game of the Bratislava tournament. Condition - vaccinated, or with a negative PCR test from less than 72 hours before the match or a person who had covid in the past 180 days. The team started the training camp in Zvolen for the young AHLers, from this weekend the whole team will move to the "bubble" in Bratislava and the tournament classified as the absolute biggest and most important sport event of the country in this year 2021 will be able to start

Another federation with old flags, IBU-style Georgia No Yugoslavia yet though.

Hey fellow Totallympians I have an announcement to make about my role as Prediction Contest manager and the future of prediction contests. From the beginning of the next year, I would like to step down as sole Prediction Contest manager. As my time at the university is coming to and, I would like to focus more of my time on applying for job positions from the beginning of next year. Also one of the reason behind my decisions is that I have been much less active in the threads since I became Prediction Contest manager. Especially during the Olympics with five prediction contests which took most of my time during the day. I felt quite stressed during that period. But I knew the period would be short and end a couple of weeks later. For Beijing 2022 I definitely need some help, as there would probably be more predicton contests than during Tokyo. I know my life will change with more time focused on applying for a job position. Plus I have a personal life that means everything to me and I would like more time for that. I plan to still be part of the prediction contest group, but I would mostly only be able to manage 1 contest per month. I would therefore like to ask if someone or more people on the forum could be interested in being my co-manager/s from the beginning of 2022. I would guide the person/people in how to run the prediction contests. Make prediction design, etc... And by time, that person/people will take over the role as manager/s. I hope by getting a co-manager/s, and by time stepping more down, I will find a balance to both manage my work and private life. Also additionally, have more time to be active on this forum in other ways. My passion is athletics and I want to be more active in that thread and also have time for especially winter sports who also gives me great pleasure to follow. In short, I would like to seek for one or more co-managers at first by the beginning of next year. If anyone is interested to become co-manager or hear more about it, you can send me a PM and we can talk about it. I hope there will be at least someone who would like to take over my role by time. I really enjoy these prediction contest and I know many really appreciate the work me and all those before me have made to make these contests possible. I hope these contests can continue to bring together the community on Totallympics. That's all from me, Wumo

Pole dancing should be added next after breakdancing. Viewership among youth will reach 100%.
