Do you know why there have been Polish athlets wearing a black ribbon or something? Did someone in/around the team die recently? Dutch Eurosport commentators were wondering. 

Guess nobody has heard about Irena Szewinska in Netherlands?

Why they refused to measure this attempt ?

Javelin probably landed too flat to leave a mark?

Poland underperforms in a relay? Didn't know that was possible.

We'll have two fastest guys back for the final and of course Krzewina isn't even here. That SF relay featured three back-ups

Talent can be easily wasted if don't backed up by hard work. Holzdeppe never struck me as a titan of work tbh.

Except that Thiam is underperforming in each event so far.

Which shows how much of a cushion she still has! KJT is better in five events but still isn't a favorite to win the gold. It's the old saying, you're only as good as your weakest link.

Martin Gillingham said she need a PB in the javelin to have a realistic shot at gold.

Holzdeppe out. The Germans are having a weak champs here

KJT only 8 cm better than Thiam... 113 pts ahead before javelin. Thiam can gain ca. 200 pts there?

So, the TV pictures indicate Thiam's jump was valid by 0,2 but she still gets the red flag?

A new low for Polish club football, Legia Warsaw lost at home to Dudelange FC  1-2

Or Ennaoui for Morocco ...

I would be willing to trade one Lukas Podolski for Iga Baumgart or Maria Springwald, but thats all youll get.

I doubt Morocco would take Ennaoui back

I see you have some interest in rowing

Herman ze German, maybe therer is a chance to get her to compete for Germany in the future.

Or maybe Dutkiewicz competes for Poland?

I think Talay wished Herman didn't win that

Herman spoils the German party...

Guliyev 19,76!!! Fuck!!!

Of course i picked Vetter to win gold here ...

I picked Hofmann/Vetter/Roehler

Also Gemili for 200m bronze...

Just now, OlympicsFan said:

Why?

The prediction sheet had KJT finishing 4th

Just now, OlympicsFan said:

I am surprised you say that ... Germany has been doing nothing else than helping GB the last couple of years? Why else do you think that Germany quit the football world cup that early?

Too many Turks playing there

I have a very bad feeling about mens javelin throw, the estonian guy or one of the czech guys are about to spoil the party imo.

Is there any polish guy in there?

Yeah, even two but they're irrelevant

Germans hoping KJT blows the javelin hard!

Grauvogel helped KJT a lot   Germany helping GB? That's a new one.

in b4 Wlodarczyk, Fiodorow, Nowicki and Fajdek all coming from that corner of Poland

Fajdek is from Niederschlesein (Freiburg in Schlesien as the Reich called it). You'e too late

Just now, dcro said:

 

So, not much hammer throwing in south-west of Poland?

It's Niederschlesien as the Germans call it. It used to belong to the Reich until Stalin & Roosevelt had drawn a new map

I think most people west of the Oder don't even know what on earth 'the Oder' is  

Exhibit 'A' :

But if 12.931 would be rounded down to 12.93, then they would have to round 0.1 down to 0.0 and we all know thats its impossible to travel instantly, so its clever to round up everything when it comes to running.

They used to round .001-004 down and .005-.009 up so I have no idea what happened with that?

True, althoug Poland is doing a pretty good job in hammer throw.

It's a low-hanging fruit. Nobody takes hammer seriously west of Oder

I picked Warholm/Copello IIRC but don't remember the bronze
