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.

Or did you mean the oldest German NR? That probably dates back to the unholy deceased DDR It's safe to say Marlies Gohr, Marita Koch and Heike Drechsler will keep their records for a while yet

Probably Vetter's 94m in the javelin last year?

Daley Thompson said Duckworth is "a jogger" with that PB. Don't take my word for it, maybe Thompson doesn't have a clue about decathlon either? It's decathlon, 10 000m results don't mean anything here.

I never said Guba will win a medal the Olympics It's exciting for us since she's on target to beat the oldest T&F NR. Obviously that means nothing for you. Germany will always be favored to win more Olympic medals than Poland because a) you have a bigger population and b) you have more financial resources. Our athletics programme hinges on private sponsors and not much else. You're just stating the obvious, we all well aware how powerful Germany is

4:58 is jogging pace. No way he fights for future medals with such a poor run.

Duckworth really blew the last two events

Ribbentrop-Molotov pact took care of all the responsibility. Besides, Stalin would have started WWII himself ca. 1941-42 to take revenge for the 1920 failure anyway.

Guba is at the peak of her performances right now and she will probably only get better. Schwanitz was nowhere near her best but that's not our problem. German athletics generally is on the way down but I have no idea why that happens.

Guba over performing? You think Polish shot putters aren't allowed to post scores over 19m?

Polish commentators giggling in the booth like they've had a bottle of vodka in there...

Poland steals one from Germany on German soil
