I'm literally disgusted by today's 20km running events (just can't say "race walking") wasted time... frankly, it doesn't make sense to keep this farce in the T&F schedule

@rafalgorka you can try the postimage website to create a forum-shaped link for your pictures

it's not a miracle, it's only about younger coaches who travelled, studied, have updated themselves and their knowledge going abroad, becoming more and more "global", bringing new up to date training methods, instead of an old generation being stuck to old, surpassed and less effective theories (and this can be applied to many sports increasing their success rate in the last 20 years, swimming just to name one) add to that a few guys with better genetics (yeah, the "new Italians") and you get better results, also in disciplines where you were not used to (sprint & jumping, to name a couple) some of these might also be occasional, thanks to a generational talent (Jacobs and the 100m), some others might be repeated because of an established "school", like the many good high jumpers however, we've always had a good number of kids practicing athletics, it's not a miracle if we start to become more successful the miracle is having people winning titles in sport like slalom canoeing or speedskating, where we only have a few hundreds of guys practicing the sport and no more than 2 or 3 places where to train professionally in the whole Country

no, I don't think so, since the total number of lifters is still the same

by the way, the director of the Organizing committee, a couple of days ago said that they are quirte satisfied with the ticket selling so far and that more than 880k tickets out of around 1.2 million have been sold

who cares? we still have no chances to even look good in this sport I only hope to be able to watch some great competitions in a wonderful Winter environment in a beautiful stadium filled to capacity...that's only what I need in Predazzo

who knows? last February they would have been good, both in Valtellina and in Cortina & Antholz luckily, in Milan all the action is indoor, because outside normally it's hotter than in Sochi

so, we are going to have just 10 starters per weight class on average that's a shame! unacceptable

for those who are interested, Yesterday in Predazzo the Small Hill competiton of the Summer Grand Prix was held on the Olympic Hill all the action is on Discovery+/HBO (or whatever it's named in your Country)

don't feed the troll

@hckošice Zapletalova!!!

Kershaw and Kopi basically at the same time I don't know if I can keep up with that

sorry, I misread the post I wanted to answer

Strachan looked injured at the end of the race, I don't know if she can run anyway

I think she'll go for the double 400m/400m HS there, so most likely she'll have to save as much energy as possible record attempts will happen only if someone is going to push her like Paulino did Today, but I'm not sure she'll be able to run faster in 3 years time my fear is that we won't see her in a single race next year and only in the 400m HS in 2027, before the final showdown at home in 2028 (after that, I'm pretty sure she'll retire)

well, at least he has some (small) space with photo... better than Furlani here in Italy

it's Marita Koch's exorcism

well, he got the Italian passport in any case because he's married to an Italian woman (and because of the rules on the foreign players in club competitions, this would help him and the clubs where he plays) being called up by the NT, instead, it's a completely different thing and you have to ask De Giorgi why?

told ya'll more than a year ago I saw him on the roller skates in the past 2 seasons and man, he's the modern version of Chad Hedrick if he wants, with time (and some work in the gym) he can become also a great 1500m skater, not only a 5 and 10km specialist

if they want, they can manipulate also that, see London 2012

haven't followed a single second of this "thing" I'm just watching the final medal table right now and I see that, out of 10 men's weight classes, have won 6 gold medals and 4 if before it was a suspect, now it's a fact: WB = IBA (AIBA) = rigged farce more than ever, boxing is just something else, it has nothing to do with this
