Aoki takes 5th at the line! Someone took a bath at the last water jump.

Jogging around in the 3000 SC heat one. Just a reminder there will be no fastest loser qualifiers in the middle distances anymore

has filed a protest already. Not like we lost a medal chance here, this team won't threatent the podium even if we squeeze through.

Duszyński fell on the changeover and hampered Wyciszkiewicz

Martin, Karlstrom and Bonfim takes the 20K walk medals. It only took one event for to start collecting 4th places

Martin's technique is... ahem... bad. Obviously he will get away with it...

Hall in 2nd place in 100H but Johnson-Thompson was a long way behind.

@Josh Barrondo's record in the recent global events: 2019 WCH - DQ 2020 OG - DQ 2022 WCH - DQ Last time he finished a walk was 2017 World Champs in London

He must have the worst DQ record among active walkers?

M 20km Walk will start at 10:50 am local (in two hours time)

Cleveland 250 MD is out and they somehow managed to fix the draw to have 43 year old Venus WIlliams play 16 year old Mirra Andreeva in R1. That's 27 years age gap and must be a WTA MD record in XXI century as I don't remember Kimiko Date playing anyone this young after her comeback and that would be the only other potential player at this level.

Polish athletics chief Tomasz Majewski basically confirmed Natalia Kaczmarek will skip the mixed relay due to "medal priorities".

Burning books is so 15th century. Sweden is so liberal that it allows one of the most outdated & narrow-minded things ever and calls it 'freedom of speech'

Raków Częstochowa eliminated Aris Limassol 2-1 & 1-0 and will play FC Copenhagen in the last round of qualifications. By reaching this stage they've guaranteed themselves to play in the Europa League group stage.

wins 2-1 and advances to the final

Raining goals like skittles all of the sudden

I think that's a strategic decision to play her off the bench here. The knockout stage of this World Cup has been highly tactical.

Looks like some politicians forced those comments back but let's be honest, there is no global wave of boycott coming. Ukraine played their hand and nobody will sacrifice their participation for any political gains because there are none to be gained. Moreover it's Ukraine who is reliant on outside help when it comes to military aid and this will still be the case in 2024. So they're in no position for an emotional blackmail when it comes to sport right now. Let's see if the looming war in Niger changes some of the details but I don't expect EU & USA to help the democracy over there whatsoever. If Wagner group gets involved, it's just another Russian hybrid war scenario where the military aid would be spend on other African countries planning to intervene and revoke the coup.

Day 1 in Cincinnati and we are on the second rain delay already. This tournament also looks to be a joke in the making. And it's a joined ATP/WTA event so the schedule will be a bigger problem.

Ukrainian sports minister came out and said Ukraine will be ready to participate in 2024 SOG even if Russians & Belarussians are there. No surprise. I said this few months ago when the topic first surfaced. Nobody is going to boycott the Games anymore, the 1980 and 1984 lessons have been learned. Boycotting the Games for political reasons has been proven to be worthless and only hurt the sporting legacy. https://english.nv.ua/life/ukraine-is-ready-to-participate-in-2024-olympics-even-if-russian-and-belarusian-athletes-are-admitte-50346149.html

WTA 1000 in Montreal has been a complete dumpster fire. Due to rain delays Liudmila Samsonova had to play SF and Final on the same day and has nothing for the latter winning only one game vs Jessica Pegula. Moreover Elena Rybakina picked up a shoulder injury and has blasted WTA leadership which is led by the Alpha Clown himself Steve Simon. This was probably the worst "big" tournament of the season and it doesn't have much competition for that award. https://www.express.co.uk/sport/tennis/1801856/Elena-Rybakina-WTA-Canadian-US-Open

Kasatkina's matches usually turn into some lenghty shitfests and that's primarily because of her junk 2nd serve - pretty much the worst in Top 50 ranking. Meanwhile gets revenge over as Camila Osorio takes down Katie Boulter in Cincinnati Q1
