Haha, what a funny race, i am shocked by how bad Kaya was today ...

Very sad that the Girls from Greece and Israel will probably win a medal, it wouldve been much better to see the Girls from Poland and Portugal on the Podium.

Really weak times in mens 4x100m relay, GB should be much faster, considering that they have 3 Sub 10s runners. I dont think any european Team will win a medal in Rio.

We obviously dont want to win mens 4x100m relay, we apparently decided that a Gold medal isnt worth anything, so we decided to Sub in one of our weakest 100m runners ...

Papahristou has a very interesting Progression, its always nice to look at the IAAF top lists from 2004 ...

Storl might win Gold here, but he has no Chance for Gold in Rio and even a medal might be difficult.

Haha, what was Hassan doing? Even someone like Cichocka was able to beat her and Muir, Kipyegon, Dibaba and the other Girls didnt even compete ...

Where? In General i am very skeptic about all the athletes who werent able to get the Standard all year Long and now suddenly do it, only a couple of days before the qualifying period Ends.

Nooo, we were so Close to Gold, congrats to GB. I dont have much hope that one of the british Girls will be caught.

Its completely stupid that you can qualify a relay by running 2 fast times in the same competition on a super fast track. Nigeria, Russia and Ukraine had their two fastest times in just 2 days on the super fast track in Beijing.

Whoever planned the start of the half-marathon is extremely stupid. The kenyan guy who now competes for Azerbaijan actually wanted to get russian citizenship, but when it didnt work, he just became a citizen of Azerbaijan ... I think EAA should just expel Turkey. If Turkey wants to continue with this embarrassing shit, then they should try to do it in Asia (or better Africa). At a global stage this doesnt really bother me, because Turkey wont win any medals at olympic games or world championships anyway.

Results of the second german national qualification event: Toba 88.075 Nguyen 86.750 Bretschneider 86.000 Dauser 85.900 Hambüchen 44.325 (he only did high bar, floor and vault) Toba, Nguyen, Bretschneider, Hambüchen and Dauser will go to Rio. I wouldve preferred Rittschik instead of Dauser, because he has a difficulty of 7.1 on pommel horse and couldve reached the final there, Dauser on the other hand has no chance for an individual final. Our team score will probably be better with Dauser, but we wont win a medal anyway, so we shouldve nominated those guys who have the best chance for an individual medal. Floor: Hambüchen 15.2 (6.2), Bretschneider 14.975 (6.0), Nguyen 14.750 (6.0) Pommel horse: 14.425 (5.7), Dauser 13.350 (5.6), Nguyen 13.275 (5.2) Rings: Nguyen 15.425 (6.4), Toba 15.075 (6.4), Bretschneider 14.625 (5.8) Vault: Toba 14.550 (5.6), Bretschneider 14.525 (5.2), Dauser 14.050 (5.6) Parallel bars: Nguyen 15.975 (6.9), Dauser 15.675 (6.7), Bretschneider 14.700 (5.7) High bar: Hambüchen 16.000 (7.1), Toba 14.900 (6.5), Dauser 14.125 (5.8) On the womens side Seitz, Schäfer, Scheder, Bui and Alt will go to Rio. Scheder 58.066 Seitz 57.498 Bui 57.266 Schäfer 57.099 Alt 57.065 Vault: Alt 14.666 (5.8), Schäfer 14.566 (5.4), Scheder 14.200 (5.0) Floor: Bui 14.133 (5.7), Schäfer 14.133 (5.5), Scheder 13.833 (5,3) Beam: Alt 15.200 (6.3), Scheder 14.700 (5.6), Schäfer 14.500 (5.9) Uneven bars: Seitz 15.466 (6.6), Scheder 15.333 (6.6), Bui 15.033 (6.3) On the mens side pommel horse will kill us again and on the womens side floor will kill us. 4 individual finals on the mens side (2 x high bar and 2 x parallel bars) and 4 individual finals on the womens side (2 x uneven bars and 2 x beam) would be a great result for us.

No, its a different Yasemine Can, but maybe i just didnt understand the irony ...

Great ,,, He seemed almost too fast to be non-african. I guess there is no chance that a real european athlete will win a medal in mens half marathon or mens 5000m.

Fastest entry times in mens half marathon: Kaan Kigen Özbilen (competes for Turkey) 59:58 Evans Kiplagat (competes for Azerbaijan) 59:56 Tadesse Abraham (competes for Switzerland) 1:00.42 Fastest entry times in mens 5000m: Ali Kaya (competes for Turkey) 13:00.31 Ilias Fifa (competes for Spain) 13:05.61 Hayle Ibrahimov (competes for Azerbaijan) 13:09.17

Tomorrow should be a good day for Germany, with 3-4 golds. Turkey should win 2 more golds thanks to their kenyan athletes and they might really win the medal table, but i doubt that they will win any medal in Rio.

Disappointing result for Tesfaye, he just doesnt know how to run tactical races. I still would bet a lot that he will be the best european runner in Rio.

Harting with the same stupid mistake all the time. He throws shit in the first 5 rounds, then wakes up in the last round and misses a medal by only a couple of cm.

Haha, the ukrainian girl in womens 800 just sprinted easily past everyone in the last 50, what a joke. I think she is the only one who could trouble Semenya, Niyonsaba and Wambui in Rio.

I hope Kovago wont win a medal. Ryzih didnt even try to win gold, she just ended the competition after she cleared 4.70m. Without the two russian girls and Büchler the level of competition has been pretty weak, but i think Stefanidi will also win a medal in Rio. So far the level of competition in field events has been pretty weak, especially in womens long jump, womens high jump, mens long jump, mens pole vault and mens triple jump.

Its funny that there are two turkish girls with the name Yasemine Can. One of them (the 10000m runner) is naturalized, the other one isnt. Most naturalized athletes seem to get the name "Kaya" anyway.

Hopefully Pinto will be alright. Yesterday she said that she got injured before womens 100m final during warmup and therefore couldnt race as fast as expected.

Yeah, thats what i remembered him for. I always thought that officials didnt know if Sheryf was his first name or his last name and thats why they "gave" him this weird name.

I think i will cheer for the british womens 4x100m relay in the final, if this would be a model contest, then they wouldve already won it, no matter who competes in the second heat.

Correct, sadly i dont have a prize for you ... Do you also remeber his former name (without looking it up)?
