Persson actually builds the lead over Olsbu at 6.7...

Linn Persson 10/10 but she'd have to run a huge last lap to somehow beat Olsbu...

Hanna Oeberg misses by 2,2 secs so it will be gold for Herrmann...

Olsbu 9/10 and that could mean Vittozzi and Davidova are out of the medals...

Hanna Oeberg 10/10 and 9 secs ahead of Herrmann The race is still on...

Herrmann 10/10 and that could be gold medal. Hauser 10/10 won't be enough for a medal.

Vittozzi and Herrman also 5/5 in the prone. Chevalier-Bouchet 3/5. Bye... Elvira with another miss in the stand.

Lampic 6/10 and Fialkova also melted 8/10...

Lampic, Davidova & Fialkova with 5/5 in the prone. Elvira Oeberg one miss....

Women's sprint about to start. Lampic with bib #2 so should get a lot of TV time, likewise Paulina Fialkova with bib #5 @hckošice

Well, at least it's good to know Norway doesn't run every winter sport that involves skiing and even they can be caught out by the rules

There will be a lot of talk about nothing for some time. Politicians as usual want their share of TV time. What else is new?

Ons Jabeur has WD from Doha & Dubai so if there's any hope for some Arab support then it's your best guess now. Sherif probablt got WC line as the second best Muslim player on tour but Mattek-Sands and Zvonareva make no sense whatsoever. Muguruza has WD from Doha & Dubai anyway. Rybakina is out of Doha too. This Middle East swing is taking some hits but the more important Indian Wells/Miami double lies ahead after all.

I don't expect it would be proven especially that Kenya & India are viewed as countries with high level of poverty so they would get a free pass from WA & others. But I also expect the number of positive tests for Kenya will eventually eclipse the number of Russian ones. It's only a matter of time IMO especially that Russians are effectively frozen from doping control now so it will be easier for Kenya to catch up to them.

So apparently Norway was unaware they can enter 6 athletes for the sprint if they have a reigning world champion and someone in Top 15 of the overall World Cup? Arnekleiv was a reserve on-site anyway but Stromsheim is only travelling for the men's sprint now...

@JOSE SEIJOhad the perfect prediction for men's Super G

Yeah, the Nets have officially blown it up! The Durant mercenary tour continues but there was no other way for him to stay relevant

The excuse was that if an athlete lives & trains outside of Russia then it would be allowed to compete as neutral. That's why Klishina was allowed to compete in Rio 2016 since she lived in USA all the time. Overall it's just cherry picking at this stage. Kenya should be long banned based on their number of doped athletes especially that it's only middle-distance running they are truly focused on. India does all the doping too but they're not any good save for one success story in javelin lately.

Some results from Torun: 60m: 1. M. Kambundji 7.06 60H: 1. Skrzyszowska 7.79 400m: 1. Klaver 51.14 800m: 1. Hodgkinson 1:57.87 WL Mile: 1. Tsegay 4:16.16 800m: 1. Kramer 1.46.37 Long Jump: 1. Tentoglou 8.40 Pole Vault: 1. Obiena 5.87

The IBA Boxing World Championships don't count as Olympic qualifying event so it makes no impact on the Olympics

They really played 'Wild Boys' for the mixed relay?

QFM took the wrong turn before the finish but still held on for bronze. That could have been ugly...

Giacomel held it together so Italy should have the silver medal

Yeah, he has a younger sister who should be around for a while and maybe even in WC given our short depth. He's been around for some time but usually fighting for 68th place or worse in individual races
