Was this guy the one who was on the leaked IAAF list or was it his brother? In the end it doesnt even matter, we all know what is going on.
-
Lets hope that non of the european guys wins a medal in mens 1500.
-
Very happy that Wilson didnt win gold. Just a shame she stole bronze from Wambui, considering that she never should have been allowed to compete. More than disgusting that Robert-Michon always explodes at the biggest competitions, another highly suspect french athlete. Also ridiculous performance by Stevens, maybe even one of the top 3 most ridiculous performances here. Horrible level in mens high jump, just sad that the mexican guy was stolen a medal by the russian guy.

Really sickening results in mens race walking. 50 year old Diniz walks the second best time in history and wins by almost 8 minutes. In mens 20 km race walking we had a guy from Russia (self-explanatory why this result is disgusting) and two guys from South America + a no-name from South Africa (also self-explanatory) at the top. If IAAF is really planning to cut race walking from the Olympics, it would be amazing news. The performances of Diniz and Bigot make it impossible to trust any french athletes in London.

Horrible result in womens 4x100 relay and mens javelin. The german girls were horribly slow, i expected at least 0.5 seconds faster, hopefully they will get it right next year. The result in womens 3000 m SC was also disgusting, the US is the only nation that is too big to fail and therefore their athletes have nothing to worry about. The progression by Frerichs was probably the most disgusting thing in the history of sports.
-
Why not womens 3000 m SC? Should be legendary. Womens 800 m and mens 1500 m semifinals should also be interesting, those are by far my favorite track events, because there are at least some tactics involved. The three-way battle in womens 200 m should also be interesting.

Makwala stolen two golds by IAAF official cheaters? Disgusting?
-
First gold medal for Turkey at athletics world championships.
-
That is true, other examples would be Schippers going from 11.03 to 10.81 in 2015 or Hassan going from 4:03.73 to 3:57.00 in 2014.
-
Most swedish women are beautiful, so its not surprising that they have a lot of direct contact with other people and are more likely to get ill. No risk for Semenya, Wambui, Schippers, Reese or Niyonsaba.
-
Is there a morning session tomorrow? If yes, then this will be the first session i can watch this week.
-
Yeah ... but at olympics you have many different sports at the same time, so you cant compare it. You should look at the number of posts in 2015, but even that doesnt mean much, you need to look at the number of registered/active users.
-
At first i was really positive about this competition, but now i am extremely disappointed, horrible competition. 2019 wont be much better, hopefully Berlin will do a better job next year. 1) Rain, rain, rain ... 2) Doped athletes 3) Bought athletes 4) Tons of ill athletes 5) Makwaala not allowed to compete 6) Horrible level in many events 7) No morning session on most days 8) Strange progression by many athletes like Nasser or the american guy in discus throw.
-
Really hard to understand why Germany got so few votes, despite having won 34 medals in olympic events at the latest world championships, including 18 of them in gold, despite ... a) Lisa Zimmermann not able to compete b) Felix Loch missing out on a medal c) No medal in men's ski jumping team Naturally the number of golds will go down, but its hard to see Germany ending up with less than 12 golds (3-4 x luge, 2 x bob, 1 x skeleton, 2-3 x nordic combined, 2-3 x biathlon) which will be very hard to match for any other nation except the US.
-
Strange how Simpson always ends up with a medal, beating much stronger runners like Hassan or Muir.
-
Does anyone know whether Eid Naser still trains with the bulgarian coach that also coaches Femi Ogunode? It's sad to see how her appearance changed, 2 or 3 years ago she looked completely different. I guess nowadays all sprinters have to have a tattoo.
-
Macluffi wont compete? Very sad, he would have won gold. The guy in decathlon always improves very much at big competitions, so he is one of the favorites. I think the best nation without african athletes is New Zealand, ahead of Lithuania, all nations ahead of them have african athletes.
-
What about mens 1500 m and mens decathlon?
-
France and Russia are even shittier than Germany (although i didnt know that Russia was even allowed to compete). Africa is clearly the best. Kenya, Ethiopia, South Africa are top 6 + most american, british and jamaican athletes are also from Africa, so Africa is top 6. Netherlands is the best non-african nation.
-
Glad that i cant watch any more session until Saturday morning, the doping problems in athletics are almost as big as in swimming. I am just glad that there are still events where Germany can win medals just with superior training methods. Shot put, hammer throw, discus throw and all track events are pure doping events.
-
If you go back far enough in time, then you could call everyone african, so basically Africa always wins. Of course the medal table would be pretty useless if only one nation would compete.
-
Isnt she african as well?
-
And the US wins again, this sport got what it deserves, you have to pray for Russia coming back strong to end this farce.
-
Wouldnt want to meet Thompson, Ahye or Schippers in the dark, really dangerous looking fellows.
-
Didnt see any of them, cant have been that bad. You are exaggerating clearly.
