Wait, I always thought Emil Zatopek was Polish 

 

Discovery of the day. 

You gotta be kidding...  Poland had Janusz Kusocinski back then

Perkovic stopped trolling...

no, it's the supervisor of all throwing events for our team, but he's not a "field coach" (not even for hammer throwers)...

Right, they showed him on TV so I thought he's Osakue's coach.

Perkovic trolling around like Demireva yesterday?

Okay, the BBC hype is back on!

BBC will probably explode after that Ugen failure...

Nicola Vizzoni is a coach in women's discus? That's strange

Now let's see what Kszczot has for these guys   POL medal alert...

Good guess.

That's our relay gold chances gone...

Obviously Swiety smelled blood here, she beat her PB by 0,64 secs   She'll probably send the Greek girl a Xmas card now...

PB for Baumgart too... grrr... that was unneccessary

Baumgart will probably take it easy to save energy for the relay, Swiety might do likewise if she's outside Top 3 after 200m.

Noo, she will be ok. She said she would have only treatments (without surgery)  and the coach just said it was just partial damage

Sounds fishy tbh. I have a feeling these non-surgery recovery plans always end bad... pain eventually returns and they have to go under the knife regardless.

Yes, unfortunately. She wrote it on the instagram now They just did a magnetic resonance. But if I understood it well only one part of achilles tendonis damaged (her coach said that). Probably no more competition this year for her.

Probably? Sheesh.. if that's her take-off leg then she might struggle to recover come next season's WC tbh

Does it mean we have 11 finalists or the 13th gets a start?

I still remember when they had the 10km walk for women in the stadiums. And men used to walk the 20km in the stadiums as well.

I miss the times when they had a loop in the city and the finish at the stadium. Hopefully that comes back one day.

Lithuanians in 4th & 5th

Palmisano kicked some Irish guy out of the way

Russian has kicked it up... Bosworth down to 4th and losing ground.

I picked Lewandowski for silver so I'm cool with that.

The 17 yo kid won?

Okay, so maybe Lewandowski can snatch a medal for Poland

Czykier in 4th kinda exceeded expectations but the times were SLOW!

Big success for Sabat with that 5th place in her first major championship.

Lithuania gets that medal in the javelin.

Warholm will probably go off like crazy. Zalewski chasing him might be too much...
