Irma claimed the lift of Xavier ‘Dag’ Samuels, an athletics coach from :IVB. 
 
"Samuels has guided the career of McMaster, who this year, ran a world-leading time of 47.80 seconds at the Jamaica International Invitational on May 20."

This is where the IOC should step in and protect athletes.

For those of you interested in the Puerto Rico situation they sent me this:
 
The guidelines to participate are highly subjective. 
 
Because all Puerto Ricans are U.S. citizens, the Puerto Rico Olympic Committee is very sensitive to mainland U.S. persons using them as a back door into the Olympics. In an Olympic year, I typically get a couple of e-mails from people who think our federation is some sort of sports fantasy camp, and promise to “promote” Puerto Rico if they go to the Olympics. So, to answer your question, with the current political environment, a prospective Olympic competitor for Puerto Rico would have to be born on the island, have multi-generational Puerto Rican ancestry, and be somewhat of a threat to win a medal. We had a native-born 50-point slalom skier who should have gone to both Vancouver and Sochi; however, because she was more American than Puerto Rican, they wouldn’t send her.
 
Charles Flaherty is definitely American. His family are bona-fide residents of Puerto Rico, but he’s still facing an uphill battle to go to Korea. We hope he can convince the Puerto Rico Olympic Committee (COPUR) to send him, but nobody is holding their breath… :-/

Urban, too. Don't forget about urban canoe.

Not happy with women's canoeing just for the sake of adding it, but the possibiity of 2 gold medals is hard to get mad at. 

Of course I wasn't serious, but anyway I would like to see what results Ledecky would have training in our system  I hope this girl is drafted by american university soon, the further away she's from here the better.
 
The 1500 wasn't her best race... until yesterday. In fact, I was very surprised by this time, I was expecting something like 16:10 at best. I'm also surprised the american Sullivan made such a weak time here being that she made monster 15:57 just two weeks ago.
 
I know about the chinese girl not being here but I feel that girl's results will mysteriously get worse in a few years
 

won the 4x200 by 6 seconds!! And a new world junior record! Taylor Ruck also with a world junior record in the women's 100m back. Just amazing.

Johaug out!!! What a beautiful day!!!

Wow Andorra, 

Men:  are guaranteed a spot at the 2019 Pan Am Games in Peru. For women  

welcome in the club

No it's all coincidence 

Dutch interviewer asking Makwala in the mixed zone: "Are you sad you didn't get a medal in the end?" 
 
No, I'm sure he's dancing in the streets to celebrate his not winning a medal! 

Azerbaijani winning for Turkey, this is freaking hilarious  

Stop this spam

@bestmen you are the only one complaining  here, have some patience and remember i'm not a robot either... the results will come soon !!!!
first i need to post the results of Tour de France, then swimming then Women's Euro then Athletics ...

sure...that study was funded by people who wanted to cancel the gender rules...it's obvious that they stated such big lies...
the proof...when Semenya was forced by the rules to take medicines to correct her level of testosterone could only run 2.05 in the 800m, when she's free not to take any medicine to lower her masculine level of testosterone she's able to run 1.55 (and better)...
 
the same with Pamela Jelimo...she looked unbeatable (and ran 1.54)...after she started to take those corrective medicines, she basically had to retire...
 
well, I know a couple of people having gone trough sex change procedures...and I can tell you that even after having completed the transition (so, after having taken tons of medicines, estrogen and things like that), they still have uncommon strenght and physical ability than "natural born" women...
 
nobody will never make me change my mind about the fact that women not biologically born as women can play sport against other "real" women in fair conditions...they will always have a big advantage (and trust me...it's not a question of being racist, sexist or anything else...it's just like things actually are)...
 
 
by the way, the official clinical definition for Semenya, Wambui and Nyonsaba's cases is "androgyny"/"hyper-androgynism"...

is officially qualified now! Will make a reappearance after its only appearance in 2006.

Matt Hughes 6th what a great race from him, he had only had one race this year before worlds, due to smashing his knee on a fire hydrant during a training run

Costiera Amalfitana in Italy, i live 10 minuts from here  

 
And here Montecarlo, one of the best city that i see for now in my travels

 

No. Certainly no
 
The fun thing was that actually this happened during the Day 1 of the Games, which was one of the most memorable and successful day of our sport, since only few hours before this match Nastya won our first historic Gold at WOG in Biathlon Sprint.

correct!! but i should choose only 3 from the best. The diving gold was unexpected since both favorites chinese and russians failed in their last attempts

C´mon
If there a country that is still exceptionally prepared for the olympics, it´s surely Canada. you´ll again medal almost everywhere
 
and about women´s hockey, yes that old known song..USA winning world champs titles year after year, but then came the olympics and Canada score the overtime finals winning goal

The shock diving gold in 2004 and Ilias Iliadis winning gold in 2004 are my top moments.
