    Things change way too quickly in sports to make predictions for a decade. She definitely has a shot at bronze in Tokyo in the 400 m hurdles. Wouldn’t make sense for her to also enter the 400.

    Amazing competition. 5 teams with a chance for gold at halftime and Norway isn’t even one of them. Far more competitive than cross-country and Nordic combined team competitions.

    Sadly a pointless event (just like the speed skating world championships) without the Asians (and Seidel). Obviously none of the results can be taken seriously. It would be like having table tennis world championships without Asian countries, absolutely pointless.

    Stadlhuber not winning a medal might be the biggest surprise in the history of sports!!!
  5. OlympicsFan
    I hope Stadlhuber won’t medal, but since she is Austrian and this is 2021, she probably will. After the doping scandal in Austrian winter sports, they aren’t any less suspicious than the Norwegians.

    How the hell do you get lapped when one lap is 6 km? The equivalent in a track 10k would be to be lapped 5 times after less than 9k. There is no way that someone like that should be allowed to compete at worlds. I am sure you could find hundreds of hobby athletes in Norway or Sweden who would do much better but will never get the chance to compete. „Athletes“ like that are ruining the track for real athletes.

    Very brave of her to protest the hijab ban in some European countries this way.

    At the world championships they weren’t exactly flying either in the sprint. Alimbekava had the 22nd best time (46.6 seconds behind Chevalier-Bouchet), Tandrevold had the 14th best time (37.1 seconds behind) and Davidova had the 12th best time (36.1 seconds behind). Today Davidova was 12th, Alimbekava was 11th and Tandrevold was 10th, so they actually did better than at worlds, you could say that they rather overperformed today.

    Here is my prediction for Austria: Biathlon: 0 golds (obviously) Nordic combined: 0 golds Ski jumping: 1 or 2 golds Alpine skiing: 2 golds at best This year they won 7 golds in those sports.

    Yes, but very unlikely that the new fluke is from the same nation as the current fluke. Also I was talking about alpine skiing, biathlon and Nordic combined as well.

    It is not a handicap obviously, it helps with aerodynamics and also prevents him from getting a sunburn.

    No point in him competing without Lewandowski. Obviously his only job here was to push Ingebrigtsen so that Lewandowski has a chance to beat him.

    Please update after every heat. We need more updates! Thanks!

    Didn’t know that he was still active ... Has he done anything since his fluke gold in 2011?
  15. OlympicsFan
    The year of the insane fluke performances continues for Austria. They must hope that this year never ends. Too bad that they won’t come even remotely close to those results at the Olympics.

    Will be interesting to see if any Portuguese born athletes will win any medals for them. First Dongmo from Cameroon and then maybe Pichardo from Cuba ... At the 2008 Olympics their only athletics medal was won by Evora (born in Ivory Coast) and Obikwelu (born in Nigeria) won a medal for them at the 2004 Olympics, so it has some tradition there ...

    Don’t think that bronze for France is a surprise, although they are much weaker than they used to be. The truth is that there are only two good relays on the men’s side. The second Norwegian/Russian relay easily would have won bronze here. At least on the women’s side you have 3 good relays (Norway, Sweden, Russia). Hopefully Sweden will get back to their best to make this event at least somewhat competitive in the future. I think Norway now has won this event at every worlds since 1999 (when they lost against Austria of all nations) ...

    Clearly out of shape. Very much doubt that she will get close to her best from 2019 again. I think she will be around 6.90 m in the summer, which might still be enough to win a medal.
  19. OlympicsFan
    Can’t agree.

    Great work by the Fincham-Dukes twins! Please explain to me why it seems to be a requirement for all British athletes to have two last names?
  21. OlympicsFan
    Great detective work! Isn’t that the official streaming website?
  22. OlympicsFan
    The Dutch runner Vastenburg in women’s 3000 m looks almost exactly like Prince William. Really spooky.
  23. OlympicsFan
    Please explain? I don’t care about plush history and don’t know anything about it.
  24. OlympicsFan
    Expected medal for Finland!

    Never heard of any of them ... GB obviously sending their reserves, which is smart. Compared to the Olympics, this event is irrelevant.
