  1. Believe it or not, victory is the main prize of a sports competition. Therefore athletes need to give it respect. Because, after all, that is what everyone strives for. Higher places are not the same thing. We see athletes having fun in such battles at every Olympic marathon, and it's always inspiring and fun.
  2. Having fun with someone in a battle for 56th place is entirely different thing than forcing a shared victory...
  3. Oh please, now you're just talking nonsense. This has absolutely nothing to do with one's nationality.
  4. Says the person who never goes to the beach. There are lots of climbing opportunities near sea, both natural and artificial...
  5. I thought urban kids never leave their homes? Let alone go in the country? Indoor rowing makes a lot of sense when you think about it.
  6. Because you can find many boulders in the city?
  7. Well, athletes should hope that their federations are not stupid enough to still count this as a selection event. Although, to be honest, triathlon is usually mostly about running anyway, so I guess it was nice that swimming and cycling became a bit more influential, at least for this one competition...
  8. Basically all nations that won medals at karate worlds are "usual suspects".... Taekwondo has Niger, Gabon, Ivory Coast, Afghanistan and such winning medals...
  9. When does the final start? There is some meh concert going on.
  10. I don't think it was harsh at all. With this result fixing, consequently they could have shared available prize money and/or ranking points. And that just comes on top of making a mockery of competition and being disrespectful to other racers.
  11. What's so sportsmanlike in trying to force a tie between you and your team mate?
  12. I'd argue it's still better than Eneco Tour.
  13. Interesting, I didn't know of Top 50 requirement for wild cards. So it looks as though only would be eligible. Benin is ranked 50th so they can easily drop out too. Despite all the hype, karate is really not as globally competitive as taekwondo...
  14. You should be mostly worried for Bolivia. Last time they had 6 participants in athletics. Due to more demanding standards, they'll be lucky to get 2 this time.
  15. Seeing how IAAF got strict with Universality places, some of these nations' numbers could really drop.
  16. Oh, look, the most boring WT race of the season has started.
  17. Michael Jung won the test event. Getting ready for Xth Olympic title. Full report
  18. Definite entries are out. Teams - Individuals -
  19. Interesting. https://www.insidethegames.biz/articles/1083410/peru-target-more-international-events
  20. Andrew Hoy took over the lead after cross-country. Full report p.s. Next year the obstacles will not be so boring.
  21. Sad news for Austria. Victoria Max-Theurer's father passed away suddenly, causing the leader of the Austrian team to withdraw from the championships.
  22. It's not working for me either at the moment (looks like the whole equestrian section of Longines Timing has crashed ).
