Not a good start for us tonight. Expected a lot more in all three disciplines so far. Luckily we didn't get a single NM

Austria sehr schnell. New NR along with Bosnia (DQ)and Andorra

San Marino used their pole vaulter as a starter and they still finished 2nd. E: They got DQ

Those hurdles were painful to watch. That one guy didn't have the strength to jump over the last hurdle. He just went straight at it.

Am I blind or does the results page lack the option of selecting your nation, which in turn highlights all the events where athletes from that nation compete on a given day?

Damn, I was hoping Čurin Prapotnik would run a PB, still decent from him.

It's good that all of our worst disciplines are over first

Kristjan Čeh threw 71,86 m in discus today in Estonia (Heino Lipp Memorial), which is the furthest anyone has thrown in the last 15 years! It's apparently the 4th longest throw ever made!

Sadly not. Only for the OG.

Sad news for us. RTV prefers showing us commercials rather than live content. And when they will show us something, they will pick and chose those few sports that get them ratings, while not even bothering to mention the others. As of this moment they don't even have a single live showing scheduled, while their tv calendar is full until 23rd of June.

From the results, this was one of the best diamond league meetings in recent memory. Of course I couldn't watch it as it was on a channel (Sportklub) almost nobody has in this country. But I did enjoy it through the live results!

Sources say there were more than 10000 Slovenes on the road today.

HI, just wanted to ask, does this forum have an option to switch to a darker theme? If so how?

Same here. The only difference is that It's on a channel only 15 % have.

Ramona Siebenhofer (alpine skiing)

Some really good results today. It's a shame they had some technical difficulties during broadcasting. Our guys just decided to end the whole broadcast all together after the mens 800m final.

I just watched the replay of men's 109kg + category and was so confused when the commentators spoke how good these championships was, apart form the opening. And they didn't explain more on the subject. That being said Lasha reigns supreme for the 7th time in a row! Very good from the spectators too who cheered him on despite his main rival being Armenian.

Even so, from what little live footage that I saw, the commentators talked about her not eating or drinking as it's Ramadan. All this makes it much more impressive for me.

At the end of the day Johnson isn't entirely wrong. Track events belong together as do field events. I think athletics should look towards the winter sports for inspiration, where you have say alpine skiing but you don't necessarily have all the events at one place. Like you have Schladming just for slalom, Kitz just for speed disciplines and so on. This way you could have a long jump competition with more than just 8 athletes take place in say Greece, while the next day you would have a track event (with all track disciplines) in Great Britain, the next day a hammer throw in Poland... Athletics and the diamond league could create a similar cup where athletes score points for a overall globe title. Have 10 different meets in the season each worth 100 points for the winner and a point for last placed. Events like 100m and so on would have qualifiers, semis and finals on the same day. Thus preventing athlets from competing in multiple events. I dunno, it's an idea.

Sundling should go all out next season for the overall victory in the standings.

Next season is going to be interesting. I wonder how Tandervold will handle being the leader of the Norwegian team. Who will lead Germany in the standings. Will Oebergs finally win the overall globe. Will Soukalova return (there were hints that she might, Czechs are hosting the world championship after all). Will Anamarija Lampič get better at shooting? And there's loads more questions. Exciting season ahead for sure.

I think it's worth mentioning that Ema Klinec jumped one meter less with 5 gates lower starting ramp than Loutitt.

And then you have Bjorndalen and Gwizdon who continued well into their 40s.

I doubt Fak will retire as long as he our number 1. He's also the most marketable biathlete here, which makes it financially beneficial for him to continue on.
