Ździebło is one of the most difficult words to pronounce in Polish. It means grass stem in English. There's no way any of the foreign commentators get her name right

England leads NIR 2:0 a half-time with 80% possession. Norway had 1 shot on goal vs Austria in the first half. I suppose they are much worse these days than I thought and the Hegerberg return makes no difference at all.

I assume rugby is more important in Fiji? All the fastest guys go into rugby, no need to waste their talents for something called athletics?

Austria takes the lead in 37th minute so Norway needs two goals now...

is faster than in 4x400 mixed. Quick! Get Martyn Rooney back from the couch!

Duszynski is in worse form than he was in 2021 and Baumgart is basically #4 among the Polish women.

and advance from mixed relay SF1. So it's obvious Kaczmarek will replace Baumgart in the final.

Norbert Kobielski picked up a foot injury during one of the training jumps and has WD from the HJ quals. Anna Kielbasinska won't start in the 4x400 mixed relay. She was supposed to be in the final line-up only but WA rules state there can only be one change from SF to Final and it will obviously happen with someone else. So Kielbasinska would have to run both SF & F or don't run at all. It will be the latter.

Business as usual in US politics restored. Joe Biden can stop pretending they don't need Saudi Arabia oil and human rights are more important or whatever https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-62173934

I watched BBC athletics for two days once. Even Michael Johnson sounded bemused by the ammount of nonsense spoken by the other pundits. That was the last time I would ever watch athletics on BBC. It was unbereable to listen indeed.

I'm not interested in sports where lawyers decide what the final result is. Sorry to disappoint you.

I'm not gonna argue a case from 1912. If you want to retroactively change the results then go ahead. It won't make my life any harder. I see people only want to win the argument for the sake of it. Good job. You win the argument. You get a cookie or something Who knows, maybe in 2178 people will wake up in a world when Ben Johnson is the 1988 Olympic gold medallist again

Schranz & Stenmark were banned on the same reasoning - they were deemed not amateurs. If IOC can change results from 110 years ago I won't be surprised if they change some of those 1970s or 1980s Olympic Games either and award Schranz and Stenmark honorary medals too. It's only a matter of time. The door for tampering with history has been kicked wide open with this decision. I wonder how many past results will be changed in the future now? If the history is only subjective then was Yezhov on that canal bridge or was he not?

Will they give honorary gold OG medals to Karl Schranz or Ingemar Stenmark next? In like 70 years time? On the base IOC rules were inappriopriate "at the time". Or will a new scientific research in 2145 claim some of these dopers didn't actually profit from doping and people living in early XXI century didn't have enough knowledge to come to a fair conclusion? You NEVER tamper with history or else something bad always comes from it. Always. Like that Nikolai Yezhov photo with Stalin. Now you see him and now you don't.

Wojciech Nowicki 79,22 and qualifies for the hammer final with one throw.

medals chances: men's hammer (duh!), women's 4x400 relay, mixed 4x400 relay and maybe Malwina Kopron in the women's hammer given some of the absences in that event. So anything between 3-5 medals overall.

Yeah, re-writing history is never good. Never.

France hangs on to win 2:1. Belgium defended much better than Italy and only need to draw vs Azzuri in the last game to progress (I don't believe Iceland can even get a draw vs France).

France get a handball penalty but Renard is saved and then has an EPIC open goal miss

France scored in 6th minute and has like 80% possession but Belgium scores an equaliser!

Match ends in 1:1 draw. Just not enough offensive quality from Italy, they lack a new star even though Bonansea hit the post and looked sharp enough to try and carry the team in the second half. Just not enough to beat Iceland so Belgium might fancy advancing from this group if they don't lose by 5 goals to France in the evening game and avoid losing to Italy in the final match.

Iceland almost scores a second but Italy equalizes a minute later. 1:1.

Nothing like a goal off a throw-in. Iceland needs three minutes to take the lead vs Italy.

Yeah, this made the news in Poland since it will be Dinamo Batumi which plays Lech Poznan as a result
