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.

1) I think it is "White men (and women) can't run" 2) I didn't complain about Africa dominating. Even if they wouldn't dope, they would still dominate.

How can you expect your guy to win a medal if even you dont trust him enough to bet on him?

European runners can only compete in events with hurdles, in races without hurdles the african runners just have too much speed.

Yeah, while GB already has a great number of one silver medal ... Germany has more than enough medal chances left (2 x men's javelin throw, men's decathlon, men's 20 km race walking, women's 5000 m, women's 4 x 100 m, women's long jump, women's javelin throw, women's shot put). Let's see which nation will be better in the medal table in the end.

I agree, they almost look like identical twins, only that Stahl has way bigger tits.

It is no coincidence that eastern europe is so great in womens high jump. Women over there are in general way skinnier than the women in the rest of europe.

I dont see the connection, please enlighten me. Where did i say something that was contradicted by facts?

Agreed. If it wouldnt be for Africa and Jamaica, then the US would completely dominate. If the american propaganda succeeds, then those nations will be banned and the US will achieve total control over athletics.

Didn't Frerichs run 9.00.XX last year or in 2017?

Amazing to see that the american cheater didnt win gold, sadly she still stole a medal. Still a great night for the US, 4 medals in the last 3 events, when only 1 medal (for Wilson) was expected. Already 3 medals for american cheaters: Wilson, Gatlin and Coleman Way to go!

Looking at the countries of origin of most of the canadian athletes here i wouldn't be surprised if Canada tried to bought Chepkoech. Luckily she has enough pride to not switch nationalities for money.

Yeah ... who knows when we will see something like that again. There are two world class kenyan runners who weren't here, because they want to compete for Kazakhstan in the future, so maybe in the near future all women in the top 10 will be from kenya competing for different nations. Möller might even be the best bet for a white woman to win a medal in Tokyo next year.

Exactly, that is the problem on this forum. Innocent question get deleted, while personal attacks dont get deleted. Nowadays it is only about who can scream "I am the victim" the loudest, facts dont matter anymore.

Exactly. People who think that they can definitely say what Farah/Ahmed would have done if they would have competed for their home countries are just plain stupid.

I agree. With all the naturalizations it becomes kind of pointless to have a competition based on nationality. They should just have world championships for teams and not for nations.

Who knows? I think there is a good chance that one of the ethiopians will get caught and then Norway would have a medal.
