Lol, i just walk away 10 m, it will take him half a day to catch up with me, probably he will have to stop on his way to get some fast food.

Edit: Also sorry for speaking the truth.

The truth doesn't matter. Otherwise Carl Lewis would have been exposed as the biggest doping fraud in the history of athletics

Says the guy who was caught for doping before ...

Go and say this into his face. Let's see if you come back in one piece

didn't want to record a DNF. Labor camp otherwise?

beats for bronze by just 0,08!

This is of course a fair question, but Bukowiecki himself already had 22m shots, which were nearly impossible to reach at least for Europeans for a long time. So I think, he is kind of part of the new Shot Putter generation, isn't he?

He is but I consider him a choker in global events. Haratyk's injury gave him confidence but this could be short-lived. He was supposed to be the face of Polish shot put after Majewski but Haratyk who was significantly inferior to him in juniors has taken over that spot tbh.

The girl Gemechu has an interesting progression. Before this year she didnt have a single 5000 m/10000 m time and between 2017 and 2019 she improved her 10 km road time from 33:07 to 30:15.

Old news for They compete in cross country races or road races all the time. It's not like there are many meetings staged in stadiums back in Africa. Plus they have such depth you can pick 25 random girls and they would all be Top 5 in the world IMO. Just like Chinese in table tennis.

Bukowiecki is straight out pissed when talking the level of shot put's competition. Says he's sick of this event looking at the results.

11 PBs among 15 runners

That's 2/3 for my predictions. I picked the wrong Kenyan for silver

Ibarguen jumps to bronze with the final effort!

Nice, so the level improved by more than 1 m in 4 years ... more than 5 %. Just imagine at one world championships it takes 2.30 m to win a medal in men's high jump and 4 years later it takes 2.42 m.

Technique improved, that's all. Like the Flosbury Flop in High Jump rocketed the heights by default. Athletes finally understood power isn't as important anymore. 1,80m guys rotating > 2.05 guys using the old push-off. Elemba couldn't even reach 20m in quals using the push-off technique. Majewski retired at the right moment and Storl is pretty much cooked as well.

How many times did they broke the old CR today at shot put? Lol

Officially just twice - Walsh & Kovacs.

The longest throw not to win a medal before today was 21,58 (Walsh in 2015)! Romani and Hill would have won medals at every other WCh before Doha!

22,91 - 22,90 - 22,90 for shot put medals. This will be equally legendary as the 1991 WCh 100m used to be before the Bolt era.

Kovacs 22,91!!! Waaat??

Joe Kovacs might steal it!!!

Lel, even the german commentator sees Hassan as african ... he said that Muir might have set an european record here ...

Kazankina, Ivan & Dvirna have run faster than Muir so she's a long way off the "real" ER

Tatyana Kazankina's 39 year old ER has fallen

Incredible time without a pacemaker!

PBs will tumble here!

Hassan in full control.

Muir is cooked, Epic failure for the BBC hype!

3:51.96! That destroys Tomashova's CR!!!

Let's see if Simpson can steal a medal again?

Crouser 22,71m! 3 cm off PB.

Well, I'm not sure about this USA exchange so we'll see

No way gets screwed! They got away with the 4x100 exchange so it's no case here.
