Interesting result to finish this competition off ... Two no-names and the house troll on the podium while the two french guys and Kristoffersen all had horrible performances.

"That's the world's fastest junior time this year and one of the fastest in the world in at least the last ten years." Of course we have to take into consideration that in the US/Jamaica indoor athletics is almost non-existant. Seedo has been known as a huge talent for at least 1 year now. Outdoors is a completely different story of course, but it will be interesting to see what she will do in the summer. 11.40 - 11.50 seems possible. Candace Hill ran 10.98 as a 16 year old in 2015 and Jodie Williams ran 11.23 as a 16 year old in 2010, so far they both haven't done anything noteworthy at senior level. Last year Briana Williams and Tamari Davis both ran 11.13 as 15 year olds. It's a bit worrying that she only improved her 60 m PB by 0.08 seconds, at this age you would expect bigger improvements.

Nice gold for Germany, although men's 5000 m and women's 3000 m were the least competitive events here. I am very disappointed by Stirnemann, she didn't fulfill her potential this time, hopefully she will do better next year.

Yeah sure ... more like 29. Watch him disappear in a couple of years.

How do you know that it wasn't the other way round?

I think pretty much everyone had that prediction ... The same for tomorrow: 1) Shiffrin 2) Vlhova 3) Holdener I think we can already congratulate whoever is first in the prediction contest right now, it's a done deal.

Austria without a single medal on the women's side and it may very well stay that way until the end. What a disaster performance for them.

Because Hirscher is winning super g/downhill races? Also Hirscher will be gone soon while Shiffrin will dominate for many more years. Shiffrin won 6 out of 7 slaloms, Hirscher won 4 out of 7. Shiffrin/Vlhova went 1-2 in 6 out of 7 races, theres in no way anyone can not call women's slalom the most boring discipline of all (apart from men's/women's alpine combined).

Gladly there are other athletes, although apparently you only seem to care about those two. Have you ever heard of something like "Men's alpine skiing"?

Yeah sure, Shiffrin is better than her in all disciplines, so i am sure this will become an interesting battle ...

Is Vlhova weighing more than the other 2 medallists combined?

Another black day for sport. Dominance is always boring, but Shiffrin winning every GS is a thousand times better than this joke.

I think top 7 can all win gold, let's hope that Rebensburg won't choke again. I am a bit disappointed by Bassino, after her breakthrough 2 or 3 years ago i expected her to constantly finish top 3, but until now she didn't live up to that promise.

Today we might finally see a decent result for Germany, but Rebensburg has to secure the first place for that. Let's hope that Vlhova won't win a medal here.

I think it's not impossible to win more than 6 medals in athletics, more than 4 medals in track cycling, more than 6 medals in equestrian, more than 3 medals in swimming and more than 2 medals in tennis. Winning the same number of medals as in 2016 might not seem bad, but will all the new events being equally successful as in 2016 would probably mean to win 46-48 medals.

On the womens side i think all the best athletes competed, but where were Hirano, Hiraoka, Davis, Ferguson, Hablützel, Ravnjak on the mens side? (also maybe White will come back for 2022)

Nice to see that Flukedecka wont steal another medal.

Black year for sports already. Freestyle skiing world championships, snowboarding world championships and alpine skiing world championships have all been completely pointless, all those results have absolutely zero value going forward. Maybe in another decade or two we wont have professional winter sport at all anymore.

Very happy for my man Pat Burgener, totally deserved medal for him. Wish Hablützel could have been there too ...

No

Great winner, super fast times! As someone who has been supporting Bittner for many years now i am very excited about this, winning on her home track must be very special for her.

Very weird race on the womens side. Eckhoff insanely fast and Kuzmina slow like a turtle? At least we dont have the same boredom as on the mens side, but its still sad to see the level of competition, just thinking about how easily Dahlmeier in decent shape could have won the overall world cup this year. Boe takes the whole fun out of watching the mens race, Fourcade was never as dominant as Boe is. The sad thing is that he is still so young and apart from a doping ban i dont see anything that could stop him in the next couple of years.

Whats wrong about what he said (only going by the headline)? Of course olympics are easier to organize in dictatorships.

And people wonder why the US is so dominant in swimming and athletics ... First they got rid of russia in athletics and now they force the whole world to adapt to their biorhythm. I think its a great idea to modify the race walking program, 50 km race walking has always been one of the most boring/unnecessary events of the games. The best solution in my opinion would be to only have womens 20 km race walking and mens 20 km race walking.
