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

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

Exhibit 'A' :

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

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

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

Good lane for Dobek!

Yeah, it's fairly uncommon for Polish women athletes to take a double name. Holub married her coach, Swiety married a Greco-Roman wrestler and Baumagrt married a football goalkeeper.

You don't mess with the athletics school of DDR!!!

These three all got married during the past 18 months or so hence the double names

Looks like one bridge too far for Grenot...

They keep mixing up the FL times on TV

Well done Iga!!! PB right there!

Epic failure for Holub!!!

Thiam 15,35 PB!!! BBC ain't gonna like that!

Koleczek in the final! Gotta say that was unexpected!

But your forget about the HYPE!!!!

Compared to Thiam of course. Let's face it, BBC only thinks of the gold medal for her and Thiam still remains the #1 favorite. The KJT hype is heckuva annoying.

Do you work for the BBC or something? How much KJT will lose in the shot? I say ca. 2 meters

Mironchyk-Ivanova is back to the long ponytail?

From volleyball: Milad Ebadipour has extended his contract with PGA Skra Belchatow and will remain with the team in the 2018/19 season.

Hmm... I don't see it tbh. It's right up there with Schult's WR and it would be a huge upset if anyone goes beyond 73 or 74m again. Malachowski had like one epic throw in Hengelo and that was "only" 71,84m. It seems pretty similar to Sedykh's WR in the hammer. We've had three guys capable of throwing well over 80m in the last 20 years but they won't get nowhere near that record.

Does Lithuania honor the USSR period records?

I'd care if we're talking about Gohr, Koch or Drechsler records! Our women's shot put record is from June 1976, second oldest is Irena Szewinska's old 400m World Record from Montreal OG and that will probably stand for the next 40 years Our SP record holder says she's got a special bottle of champagne ready when Guba finally beats the record (she's 20 cm short atm). I don't care about fencing and swimming, these sports are rather boring though we've had success in both. But we probably have a better shot at winning the overall medal table than Germany here

BBC experts are the worst when it comes to cheering for UK athletes so Thompson's comments are actually not what you'd expect from them. Just wait until they hype KJT like she had a solid shot for gold vs Thiam Besides, we're not talking normal people here. Steve Backley also said about Duckworth that you can't have 9 good events at this level hence they really understand how bad his 1500m time is. There's just no way to defend it.
