Seeding should be removed from WTA...

It only makes sense for a sport with such doping problem to delete the WRs.

Haase is about to lose too.

Shockingly good 11th place for Eli Pevec in women's race walk. Too bad she's going to miss out on YOG due to Europe being awarded only 6 spots.

Still, I'm sure Innsbruck for example has everything in place, having hosted both YOG and Olympics proper recently. Why then push for some "Graz" nonsense over that?

Even so, I would rather have it in Bolivia if it would mean having everything at the same or almost same place. Imagine going to the Olympics as a spectator only to have different sports separated by hundreds of kilometers. What's the point of that? That's not Olympics anymore, that's World Championships. Such an irony that not so long ago having everything as close as possible was the thing that every bid strived for. And now all of a sudden it's the complete opposite.

I don't see what we're gaining with events organized all over Austria...

But you are not reading it properly. It's obviously boys decathlon for women.

Very similar to last time around, when our only qualifier came from girls' hammer throw (mainly thanks to Europe being awarded with massive 11 spots).

@hckosice is hyped. But apparently in all the wrong places.

Some might be excited to hear that Karlovic-Struff are 6:6 in the final set.

Dodig lost to Haase in doubles!

But Haase looks so happy.

They were apparently practicing penalties, so does it really matter?

He was WAY of the line...

Woodwork, because you know, goals are that small.

I would really like to see GKs making pebalties.

Those are some VERY fast shots.

Our team will play against Russia. Our team?! That will be a bloodbath since they are nervous enough even without the whole stadium going against them.

Honestly, England and Belgium are the only ones who really destroyed their group opponents. I can see their rematch in the final.

I thought Colombia was much better than this.
