Patrik super. Koukal jsem na ten závod LIVE na FB ISSF. Obrovské překvapení a posílám na Slovensko velkou gratulaci!!

I live already 4 years in China. I tried to contact customer service of Eurosport that I am an European citizen, provided them my passport scan and explained my family and work situation that I currently live in China but I would love to be using Eurosport player to watch various events as I used to it in Europe. They expressed their understanding but refused anyway no matter what explanation I gave. I did not dare to buy and then pray whether it is gonna work with VPN or not. If not would be just waste of money. Regarding these broadcasting rights, I suppose that Eurosport has some kinda better technology to find out the real IP address compared to some national TVs which do not really care that much about this thing.

Let me clarify one thing about this issue. As you mentioned, there was B Final in 4x400 m where Czech Republic finished 3rd, total ranking 11th. Thanks to DQ of US team they moved up to 10th place and directly qualified for WCH. This is what I am happy about, proud of. But one thing about qualification from WCH in Doha to SOG Tokyo. In the qualifying standarts is nowhere written that "ALL FINALISTS" will automatically qualify. I think, this is a small misunderstanding that IOC or IAAF should correct a bit. If a team in Final A has DQ or DNF, it means that the team has no final results within the championships. It has qualifying time/place to the final but in the final itself could be for the team either DQ or DNF. In this case, if somebody has really no result in the final, the 8TH DIRECTLY QUALIFIED TEAM for Tokyo 2020 should be the team, which is basically 9th in the final ranking - 1st team that did not make it to the Final A. To clarify, I am not saying how is it gonna be. This is just my common sense point of view how I think it might happen. In my opinion it's the most logical way.

Let me point out something. All these discussions about doping cases are just useless for us. Why? We all gather up here for one reason. We love Olympic spirit, Olympic Games and everything connected with this sport event. This makes us happy, excited, enthusiastic about that. And if we gonna discuss who might have used some substances some time in the past and doubt somebody's results, this is not really gonna help. This may just disgust us from being part of the Olympic community. Let's enjoy people's results and achievements that they have done something incredible. And if they are caught that they achieved something using some banned substances? Well, let's talk about our personal dissapointment but life goes on. There are and there will be many sucessful athletes who compete clean and they can achieve something big. And just an addition..... As WADA keep widening the list of banned substances. Sooner or later, all athletes will be afraid of eating ANYTHING.

I wish all the best to Czechs Jiri Liptak and Tomas Nydrle to earn the Tokyo spot :-)

Nice buddy, it worked! Thanks a lot!

Guys, there are just discussion without any proof. I honestly do not believe that Bolt has ever used any shit on purpose. We would have to be saying that everyone who is world class athletes dops? Anyone who breaks a world record dops? That is just nonsense. Let them be ..... One guy from WADA, forgot the name, said couple months ago that the current status of doping tests is that they catch those "stupid users" who are not careful enough and those, who really use some crap for years and keep winning, might be far ahead the current technology. But of course, this might be just a hoax. But who knows......

I was wondering, I tried to download these documents from you but the system always tells me that there has been an error due to location restrictions or something like that. Any idea why is this happening? Thank you

Hi, I guess this will start probably after WCH in Doha. It would be useless to publish it now because most of all relays will qualify for Olympics from Doha and smaller amount of relays according to the time. If I am correctly informed, there will be no world ranking for relays but I think there will be qualified rest relays that will not qualify from WCH according to 2 fastest times. Those times are probably counted in the period from March 1st 2019 - June 29th 2020. I am not 100% sure about all these information but 75% sure it should be this way. You can still check the results of relay on IAAF webside in section REcords & Lists but I guess you would have to make that average and all other counting by yourself.

This is one big amazing piece of work! Thanks for doing it! Wish all international assocciations had that resposibility :-)

Cool, thank you very much :-) Better done than the IAAF. Information is more or less the same as on IAAF. But this helps much more!

Hey everyone, I was trying to search for something like LIVE RANKINGS for Tokyo 2020, meaning like who would be currently qualified for Tokyo in what discipline - updating maybe every 2 weeks or something like that. Of course I might figure that out according to IAAF World Ranking, but is it really correct if I select maximum of 3 athletes per country and then I check what athletes are spotted where? Or is there any other link collecting this data? Some sport associations have that, such as UCI, Judo. Thanks for any respond!

UPDATE MAY 13TH 2019 CURRENTLY QUALIFIED CZECH ATHLETES (4) Jan Micka - Swimming - Men's 800m and 1500m Freestyle Simona Kubová - Women's 100m Backstroke "Jakub Tomeček" - Shooting - Men's Skeet (Quota per NOC) "Filip Nepejchal" - Shooting - Men's 50m Rifle 3 Positions (Quota per NOC)

So everybody - who your favourites for earning Olympic quota? I wish Czech Ondrej Teply will make it!

Čeští judisté se toho nebojí a je vidět, že v nejlehčí váhové kategorii máme nový příslib do budoucna! DAVID PŮLKRÁBEK získal v kategorii do 60kg na Grand Prix v mexickém Cancúnu skvělou BRONZOVOU MEDAILI, čímž si připsal výborných 350 bodů do olympijského žebříčku. Celkově se tak již dostává téměř na 700 bodů a aktuálně drží bez problémů postupové místo na OH mezi nejlepší desítkou!

The risky thing is the season preparation for many athletes. Those in winter sports undergo tough physical trainings - gain the muscle, condition, etc. In autumn, final preparation for competing and december starts the season. Could you imagina that they would have to end previous season March and right away start prefect preparation for Olympics which would be held some time August/September and then prepare perfectly for the new season? This is kinda impossible. Many athletes would have to give up winter season for Olympics (might not be prepared enough) or they would give up Olympics and would participate usual world cup. This would be real mess in their common seasonal routine. I am not saying that South America is bad place for Winter Sports or Winter Olympics. But because its geaografical location it might br hard for most athletes to prepare for the games.

Argentina/New Zealand - the games would have to be in summer or early autumn. Regarding winter season I guess that it would be too risky for many athletes. Anyways, I agree that voting 2026 might be disaster. They did it right to make 2024 and 2028 host cities. For me, the highest possibility of election has the Italy. But I would not be surprised if all 3 candidates pulled out cause of high costs or referendum.

Barbora Seemanová poplave o další medaili na OH mládeže! Na kraulařské dvoustovce postoupila do finále 4. nejlepším časem!
