Men's decathlon could get really interesting behind Mayer. LePage, Warner, Kaul, Shkurenyov and Victor all could win silver/bronze.

Why ...? Coleman and Lyles are both better than him at both the 100 m and the 200 m and as far as i know they both plan to do the double next year. I think absolute perfect case for him would be to win 2 bronze medal. Realistically he should either not win any individual medal or only 1 bronze.

The 2nd semifinal in women's 1500 m was much weaker. I think out of that heat only Houlihan has a medal chance.

Sorry, but why do the biggest retards always have to be judges at athletics competitions? Kaul clearly jumped over 7 m and they measured 6.32 m. How can they not notice the difference?

Maggie Ewen in women's shot put also with an ultra suspicious progression ... 16.82 m in 2016 and then 19.46 in 2018. If you follow athletics, you can't expect to see clean athletes, but when it is that blatantly obvious, it is just disrespectful.

On the one hand i am happy that Mayer will probably prevent a canadian gold medal, on the other hand i am always sad to see an athlete with such an ultra suspicious progression. I think Canada could very well win two medals in men's decathlon.

It says a lot that you have to specifically mention that a canadian athlete was actually born in Canada.

Please tell me that Lyles isn't really seeing some Dragonball characters as his role models ... ?

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.
