Not so fast! 
 

Got to go to 2.39 now.

Yeah, Nedasekau with his Charles Austin moment right there.

Tamberi 2,35 and probably a gold medal.

Three men from 4x400 relay have tested positive. I have no idea who's gonna start in the final since Dobek runs in the 800m final and Czykier has the 110h hurdles SF and probably a final.

Maryna Gasienica-Daniel with a career-high bib #9 for today's GS!

Bekh-Romanchuk steals gold with the last jump 6,92.

Mihambo only silver.

Bol 50.63 NR

Predictable silver for Swiety-Ersetic.

Okay, Femke Bol to spoil the Polish party next.

Husillos fends off the Dutch armada

Mironchyk-Ivanova 6.72... and of course fixes her hair immediately after the jump

Bekh-Romanchuk 6.80 SB.

=

wins women's 1500m. Spanish women with the Johnny Grey tactics and Johnny Grey result.

We are really generous then. Watch Femke Bol DQ in 400m final to make up for all of this.

400m hurdles speciallist Patryk Dobek into 800m final.

@Wumo Did you count the transfers before NM sprint? I still have listed 2 despite making more yesterday.

Sadly a pointless event (just like the speed skating world championships) without the Asians (and Seidel). Obviously none of the results can be taken seriously. It would be like having table tennis world championships without Asian countries, absolutely pointless.

Table tennis has 90% non-Asian nations fielding naturalized Asians anyway so your point is completely wrong to begin with

Of course these six nations are the only ones where ski jumping is being taken seriously around the world

Austrians admitted they used some new suit sleeves with golf ball-like layer technology or something. It was apparently tested by FIS at Planica many years ago and now Austrians went back to it. Polish trainer Dolezal said he knew Austrians were doing something with the suits but they didn't want to copy anything so close before the championships. So, ski jumping is a tech race as usual.

Swedes totally blew it. They let Weng on the inside before the climb and then Karlsson took the same lane in the sprint. How woeful was that? Andersson 4th.

Stadlober tailed off... looks like Karlsson vs Andersson sprint for silver again.

Johaug leads by three minutes... blah...

Obviously Weng has no chance in a sprint for silver... I hope Stadlober doesn't finish 4th but she probably will.

Hello, no DQ for

Poland and Hungary always stick together

I suppose she knows winning GS tomorrow is out of reach?

Are you kidding?  They show hype videos instead of actual races.  

I watched BBC coverage once, Colin Jackson was talking all over the place, even Michael Johnson seemed bemused and wanted to talk about actual races. Idk who they have in studio now?

Livin’ up to the hype Hollywood-style!

I suppose BBC doesn't broadcast TVP Sport footage?

Poland has her lined up for when Kszczot retires.

Kszczot's name is basically pronounced Zzzzzzzot by most Anglo-Saxons Skrzyszowska is higher on the difficulty level

TVP Sport with a Karolina Koleczek hype video
