There are more athletes than spectators in the stadium ... Qatar should naturalize some fans ...

Canadian men are on fire. How many medals would the US have if we would give them all the medals that basically belong to them anyways thanks to singlehandedly developing the canadian athletes or Duplantis for example?

What? Maybe it would be easier for you to express your thoughts in german?

Good to hear, i only follow olympic events, so i missed that. Congrats!

Mayer is probably the biggest favorite here, so he should be safe. I wonder what happened with Diniz, did he shit himself again? I thought that he would win gold, but he had a stinker once again and i am not sure whether he will be able to handle the conditions better in Tokyo next year, especially given his age.

Lol ... 1) Roleder won't win a medal 2) Kaul is the favorite for bronze in men's decathlon 3) Vetter is the favorite for gold in men's javelin + Hofmann and Weber could also win a medal 4) Schwanitz has a good chance to win silver or bronze 5) Linke could win a medal in men's 20 km race walking 6) Germany is the world leader in women's 4 x 100 m relay 7) Klosterhalfen is one of the favorites in women's 5000 m So ... there are a lot of medal chances left for Germany, even without Mihambo. Of course it didn't help that athletes like Gierisch, Jungfleisch, Dutkiewicz, Schäfer, Heß or Storl couldnt even be bothered to compete here.

You won a medal?

Or GB (unless Gemini pulls off the miracle) ... are you even british? It seems as if most of your comments are about Germany ...

Hussong only has herself to blame. She had a lot more in her, but she probably put too much pressure on herself by aiming for that gold medal. I hope that she will take back what she deserves next year.

And no medal for Italy ...

Very nice performance by the young australian girl. This probably was the only medal chance for Australia, so you have to be happy for them. I wonder why there is noone who can dominate womens javelin, it seems as if there is a new champion every year. Spotakova, Obergföll and the russian girl used to dominate, but now results are all over the place.

Kolak lost a lot of weight, i think this didn't help her performances. She should gain weight again!

Women's javelin is ultra weak, i expected Hussong to throw around 68 m, but she clearly lost her nerves.

No, actually he is from Algeria ...

Great victory for NOP. They deserve good results one last time. Brazier is the champion that this sport deserves right now!

Come on Hoppel! A guy with a name like that deserves gold!

Men's pole vault was really weird. I never thought that Baehre could finish 4th with just 5.70 m ... I hoped that Lisek would win gold, since i don't like Duplantis, but Kendrick would also be an ok winner, at least he hasn't been caught cheating before like many of the other american medalists.

Duplantis is more american than some of the actual american athletes (Bor for example).

Really sorrow performance by Pinto once again. I think if someone would have told her that it was a heat and not a semifinal she probably would have finished top 3 or top 2.

It is interesting to see how enthusiastic the swedish fans are about someone that barely has any connection to Sweden. It would be great if the qatari fans would be as enthuasistic about their own athletes at least.

Lol @ Jacob Ingebrigtsen diving at the end of the 5000 m race to save his 5th place ... Qatar got a lot of criticism because the attendance is/was so bad, but i think it is actually a positive thing, because it shows that Qatar isn't a dictatorship and can't force people to attend the competition. It was also great to see how happy the thousands of ethiopians were when their compatriot won the gold medal. It really paid off for them to get vacation just for this and to fly all the way to Qatar, i wish that people from other nations would be equally enthusiastic.

Sad to hear that. I think there arent enough race walking events. IAAF should introduce 100 km race walking instead of the 4 x 400 m mixed relay.

Interesting questions for tomorrow: 1) Can anyone beat the chinese girl in womens javelin? 2) Any chance that the medalists in mens pole vault wont be Duplantis, Kendricks and Lisek? 3) Any chance that the US wont win 2 golds in mens 800 m and mens 200 m?

Which race walking event will we have tonight?

Lol ... no. Not everyone is doping and even if that would be the case, it wouldnt be fair, because in some countries (North Korea, Kenya, Russia, China, Kenya, Jamaica, Uganda, Ethiopia, USA, Kenya, South Africa) it is far easier to dope and because more talented athletes who arent willing to dope would never get the chance to reach their full potential, because less talented athletes who are willing to dope get the funding instead.
