I see BBC maintains the anti-Russian bias. Shmeleva wins her third gold at these champs and BBC doesn't even mention it in one sentence!

Federation has nothing to say about that and Kszczot gets more attention here anyway. Our top athletes can set their own terms and there was no way they could force Lewandowski to focus on the 800m if he didn't want to. His main weakness was always the lack of a good finishing sprint and nobody wins global medals jogging at 1:49 pace in the 800 anymore.

In the 800m? I picked him for silver (as unnamed "any other athlete") in the 1500m Lewandowski's last major event where he focused on 800m was Rio Games, he's a 1500m guy since then.

I always wonder who follows Water Polo? I can only second guess Croatia, Italy and maybe Hungary are good at it? I haven't watched like 5 mins of that sport in my entire life

Btw, if anyone picked M.Lewandowski for a medal in the 800m then it's DOA since he will run 1500m instead

Stuy injured... ouch...

And the CYP girl gets DQ in the 100m... so much for the consistency...

Martin Gillingham used to commentate on all 400H races...

Dai Greene needs to frickin' retire. He's a complete goner.

I have the "2018 deaths" in my bookmarks myself

Only a warning for Paulina? They changed the rules again?

Yes indeed, all the cheering comes from his father's legacy! NASCAR will ride this kid as the new poster boy for the next couple of decades

Hendrick still had Jeff Gordon who was probably the most popular driver once Bill Elliott retired. It didn't help Johnson basically denied Gordon a couple of extra championships (2007 is what especially comes to my mind).

Truex run out of fuel three corners from home and Elliott nearly choked it on the last lap himself. Funny how everyone supports him when Hendrick was the evil empire with all the Johnson titles

3-0.... Oh, wait... it's four...

Golf & snooker is an individual sport

Hmm... so just how BAD is Romania at the moment? Did everyone just leave the country or what?

Has Ireland ever won a World Championship in a team sport? And I don't mean Gaelic football

Yes, but Polish is the original version. The Yugoslavian version was a copy

Huh? They changed the scoring system to mirror the pro system because everyone knows Olympic boxing is only a rehearsal before the switch to pros. Likewise with removing the helmets.

This is an article from yesterday. https://www.dn.pt/lusa/interior/pedro-pichardo-inscrito-preventivamente-por-portugal-nos-europeus-de-atletismo-9662095.html Google translate says Pichardo was only entered "just in case" IAAF rules him eligible but the POR athletic fed. president says he probably won't be allowed to start? We need someone speaking Portuguese here

Yep, we won the medal table in Amsterdam and there's a genuine belief we can repeat as the #1 nation. Fajdek or Nowicki plus Wlodarczyk in the hammer, both 4x400 relays and Adam Kszczot in the 800m are the biggest favorites for gold. Then we have several outside chances which should bring some medals (Lisek/Wojechowski PV, Haratyk Shot Put, Guba Shot Put, Ennaoui 1500m, Lewandowski 1500m).
