bestmen reacted to OlympicsFan in Athletics 2017 Discussion Thread
I think Germany will also compete and Germany is one of the best nations in athletics ...
I think we will still see a high level of competition, in all middle/long-distance events the best athletes come from Africa anyway and i think that the level of competition in some field events also will be pretty good. Japan, China and South Africa always have some good talents there too.
We will also have the european under 20 championships this year, so except for some american athletes, everyone will get a chance to shine at the international stage this year.
Preview (30 days to go):

South African roster:
https://www.iaaf.org/news/news/world-u18-nairobi-2017-south-african-team
The stars are Zazini Sokhwakhana (who leads the 400m hurdles world ranking with a time of 48.84s, the second best athlete this year has a SB of 51.44s , he is also 4th in the 400m world rankings with a time of 46.20s only behind 3 american athletes), Ntuthuko Ndimande (who leads the 800m world rankings with a time of 1:49.69), Breyton Poole (who is first in the high jump world rankings with 2.18m), Julian Bogner (who is 4th in the 110m hurdles world rankings and 3rd in the long jump world rankings ), Robert de Villiers (who is first in the 2000m SC, an other south african athlete is 2nd in the same event) and Zeney van der Walt (who is 2nd in the 400m hurdles world rankings).
From an international perspective, the most promising talents should be:
Marisleisys Duarthe (Cuba) in womens javelin throw
Yaroslava Mahuchikh (Ukraine) in womens high jump
Heather Arneton (France) in womens long/triple jump
Britany Anderson (Jamaica) in womens 100m hurdles
Keely Small (Australia) in womens 800/1500 m
Tamari Davis (USA) in womens 200m
Maikel Vidal (Cuba) in mens long jump
Jordan Diaz (Cuba) in mens triple jump
De'Jour Russell (Jamaica) in mens 110m hurdles
Zazini Sokhwakhana (South Africa) in mens 400m hurdles
Jakob Ingebrigtsen (Norway) in mens 1500m
Tyrese Cooper (USA) in mens 200/400m
Let's hope that many of them will decide to compete.
I noticed that South African seems to have a lot of talents in events where they normally arent very good (mens 2000m SC, mens 800m) and its also surprising to see that Norway could very well win 2-3 gold medals (if they decide to compete).

I'm okay with this.. But I cant guarantee participation if it starts in a busy moment for me.
We might end up creating Continental Championships though

Again a great observation! I feel like you are one of the very few here who understood this contest, which is why you should be part of the legendary committee. For example the lithuanian song was like a really bad imitation, on the other hand the song from New Zealand was very original and should have placed higher. I only look for the "honesty" of songs when i have to distribute my points and the lithuanian song for example didn't seem very honest, i had the feeling that the artist just wanted to make a popular song, without putting much personality into it.
