  1. I noticed that. Are they sending they own cameras to the non broadcast events?
  2. On Channel 4 they have predicted that the medal total for will be broadly the same as Rio in terms of Atheltics but maybe a bigger drop for swimming. In terms of the total medal table there is chance of top 5 for
  3. I think some of the matches are going to get cancelled next month because some teams really won’t want to have to play without any European based players.
  4. Certainly the British ones will. Not sure about the Aussies through they traditionally their swimmers love the Commonwealth games Canada seem the only realistic hosts for 2026. If they don’t bid then the games will possibly end.
  5. Quite a good tournament for it seems particualy in the juniors.
  6. Apparently Norah Jeruto and a few other Kenyans are in the process of becoming citizens of Kazakhstan. Looks like the next country to follow the likes of Turkey and Bahrain in buying athletes from East Africa.
  7. I doubt she will be competing next year - either the rules get changed or she will somehow get bared from Eugene.
  8. The thought of Thomson - Herah testing positive must be Coe’s worse nightmare. Athletics popularity is already pretty damaged - lots of top doping scandals could finish the sport off financially.
  9. Would the diamond league be happy if the British meet was permanently in Gateshead or Birmingham with the London Stadium looking likely to lose its athletics track.
  10. Will be known by the end of the month if NHL Players will be able to participate or not. Doesn’t sound overtly likely to me. https://www.insidethegames.biz/articles/1111808/nhl-beijing-2022-winter-olympics-hockey
  11. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/athletics/58293627 I guess another round of CAS hearings will now follow as they debate this data amendment.
  12. There are loads of convicted and widely suspected ex dopers coaching including some very prominent athletes,
  13. Sadly age cheating has happened many times in junior sports for reasons that don’t really make sense.
  14. The IPC should really have funded the quarantine for them.
  15. Who do the Ethiopians at this event not usually have date of births listed. Are they cheating.
  16. Apparently the substances are all fairly similar chemically and would be able to be taken in one dose.
  17. I’m actually wondering if he will go with poisoning instead if contaminated supplements can’t be proven.
  18. Not her first positive test as she tested positive for Melodonium in 2016.
  19. I have a feeling are in the end not going to send anyone. Whitlock is clearly not going and Fraser and Regini Moran have just had surgery. On the women side I think all four that went to Tokyo are going to take a break before a busy 2022 with two major home championships. will be there as Rhys McClenaghan has confirmed he is going.
  20. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/athletics/58256515 More shoe debate.
  21. Mboma and Maslingi are going to be the story of Athletics in the coming year. I can’t see WA not wanting to try and have them out before Eugene.
  22. Canada is effectively 50/50 atm. The election result might well decide if Team Canada turns up. Way too many people are convinced a boycott will not happen.
  23. The IOC would never scrap one of the most popular sports no matter how corrupt and doped the governing body is.
  24. It seemed reasonably popular in the UK as the BBC had two dedicated commentators cover the highlights of every final including the majority that had no British participants. For some sports like Artistic Swimming the highlights used OBS commentators.
  25. Slovakia might well get to replace Canada who look fairly likely to withdraw from the games because as it looks I think the next PM of Canada is pro boycotting the games on safety grounds.
