    No, she was Norwegian Champion in the track 10000m last year, so it’s not just a stunt.
  2. Grassmarket
    That was how Roger Banister broke the Four Minute Mile though. Duplantis not really serious at 6.01.
  3. Grassmarket
    Sorry, picked it up from the BBC, don’t know what went wrong. Well, you can go back & watch it over the weekend.
  4. Grassmarket
    We are desperate, good to see anything, but they could have done more. Problem is not really that many good Scandi athletes beyond the big names.
  5. Grassmarket
    Did not really work, but a good run from Jakob.

    Off we go....love the guys who have hired a cherry picker to watch. Windy day in Lavillenie’s Garden Stadium. Would not be a good time for his neighbours to do any nude sunbathing. Busy evening if you are the person responsible for updating Norway’s National Records In Seldom-Run Events. Now does Warholm’s time count as a WR? My understanding has always been that a WR must be set in an actual competition to be valid.

    Youtube link for Oslo. Some territories may be geo-blocked.

    Don’t want to be pedantic but.....

    Summary of various worldwide tennis events coming up in the next few weeks. Novak Djoković’s Adria Tour gets lots of Eurosport coverage this weekend. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/tennis/52784833

    Convenient. Just in time for the 2040 Olympics. And the horse? We have heard those excuses before from horses. I never trust ‘em.

    Actually the Impossible Games are on BBC Red Button 19:00 on Thursday. Probably somewhere else as well.
  12. Grassmarket
    Kontiolahti is guaranteed snow though. Or at least extreme cold.

    Some action over the weekend! https://www.worldathletics.org/news/report/krista-tervo-hammer-spanovic-halasz https://www.worldathletics.org/news/report/korte-1284-lahti And more good news - seemingly the BBC are streaming at least some of the Oslo Impossible Games from Bislett on Friday, which probably means there will be other streams as well.

    Actually it is not....she had already missed three tests before the last World Championships, so should not have been running there at all, if the rules had been properly applied.
  15. Grassmarket
    The problem all sports have is that it is impossible to get rid of the guy that controls the money. National Federations know they’ll get cut off if they vote him down at meetings,
  16. Grassmarket
    Seemingly she missed four tests, and it was well before the pandemic. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/athletics/52956011
  17. Grassmarket
    Sort of. “It was all a mistake, but the Norwegians were worse!” Usual stuff.
  18. Grassmarket
    See, you shouldn’t be soft about that kind of thing. Dig your heels in! Learn from the North Koreans! https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-18991619
  19. Grassmarket
    Well, that’s me sorted for the next couple of hours. The 2019 European Tram Driver Championships from Brussels. Geez, not wanting to give away any spoilers, but if I ever go to Stockholm, I’m sticking to the bus. They must have a lot of amputees.

    Women get their own pseudo e-race, to replace the Women’s Tour of Britain. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cycling/52922599

    The three key findings from an independent report into the IWF https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/weightlifting/52922604 1) IWF is monumentally corrupt. 2) Positive doping results covered up. 3) The sky is still blue.

    Plans to restart the NBA season at the end of July. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/basketball/52924523 Will depend on the basketball players’ Union being less stupid than the baseball one.
  23. Grassmarket
    Exactly. The other events are just the Marbling equivalent of indoor five-a-side football or pre-season friendlies. Only the Marble League is the prestige event.
  24. Grassmarket
    Would you believe that Jelle’s Marble Runs are now being shown on ESPN Sports here in the UK? Talk about barrels being scraped!

    International Cricket to restart on July 8th, with England playing the West Indies. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/cricket/article-8380393/Cricket-England-play-West-Indies-three-Test-series-July.html
