  Wolfgang Perner (biathlon) has died aged 52 after long illness (probably cancer).

He was involved in the doping scandal at 2006 WOG together with W.Rottmann.

Not sure if it was really a foul from Mayer

It seems like his left foot stepped out so it was a foul IMO.

I suppose she has UK citizenship now too? Quite handy given the Brexit mess

Richard Kilty's wife is quite a looker

Mayer looks to be done here. Hamstring seems to be the issue.

Kazmirek stumbles in the hurdles and is OUT!

Meanwhile Ortega's appeal was rejected:

How come both athletes share bronze medal if Halasz attempt proven to be wrong? 

They said Halasz achieved that result in R1 and he would have approached the rest of the competition differently had he known it was a failure. Polish team agreed that awarding two bronze medals was the best solution and IAAF concurred.

Shubenkov is a former World Champion, his silver isn't a miracle

Btw, Wojciech Nowicki has been awarded bronze medal since Halasz's 78,18m throw has been proved to be overstepped in the circle. Since the protest was lodged after the competition ended, he gets to keep his medal too.

Meanwhile Bernie Sanders has had a heart procedure and halts his campaign. Geez, you tell me a 78-year old man has health issues? Shocking!

I see posts getting deleted. Can't erase people's memory though

Which athlete are you talking about?

D.Ferguson & Kambundji, obviously.

I don't even want to know what you think of Cydonie Mothersill winning Cayman Island's only WC medal ever in 22,88.

Like i said, you are incapbable of leading a serious discussion + you apparently think that you can read the mind of other people. You are just beyond help.

And you have zero respect for an athlete's career achievements so I can't treat you seriously either.

Just now, OlympicsFan said:

Sure ... no point in trying to lead a discussion with you.

Debbie Ferguson wouldn't be talking to you either so I'm in good company

Ortega got impeded there. Nothing he can do about it tho.

McLeod will be DQ.

McLeod clattered like the 2nd hurdle and lost the rhythm from there...

Epic shitfest from McLeod. Shubenkov 2nd, PML bronze.

So ... ?

So you have little idea about the event's history

Disgusting result in men's hammer throw. Another medal for a (confirmed) doper. I feel sorry for the french people that they are represented by someone like him.

Also nice by Fajdek to set himself up for another monster choke at the olympics next year.

Expected gold for DAS in the absence of SMU, SAFP, Ta Lou and Thompson. I don't see her winning more than a bronze medal next year, so this probably was a once in a lifetime chance for her. Looking at the other girls in the final i would say that she is the only one with a realistic chance to make the final in Tokyo next year. Absolutely ridiculous to see that 22.51 is enough for bronze, very hard to imagine this not being the worst medal winning performance here. Schippers will probably cry herself to sleep tonight, considering that she probably could have run 22.51 on one leg.

Nope. She'd have won gold in 2001 with that time (after Marion Jones DQ). Debbie Ferguson's time was 22.52

Nowicki blows it and stays 4th. I picked Halasz to win bronze so he better doesn't screw this up!

DAS clocked an impressive time even if this was one of the most expected golds at these Champs.

Meanwhile the men haven't won a single WCh medal at 200m since 1993 (John Regis)

Bronze for  

The rest is irrelevant.

I have a slim outside hope Kambundji wins a medal here

Why did i predict the gold for Nowicki , he is weak 

He's always been Scottie Pippen to Fajdek's Michael Jordan tbh

Bigot 78,19 into second by 1 cm.
