it happens because the official results table updates the athletes' scores according to their finish in the 800/1500m therefore it might happen that someone having a slow run is added to the final results list only a few seconds after someone who just had a fast run but he/she's behind in the ranking and I agree, it does generate a lot of confusion and false hopes...they shouldn't show the updated scores until they have them all

yes, our TV (sky Italia, I don't know what our public TV did, I never watched them) did show the best throws of that competition (in double screen during the 10kms race, especially after the LJ was over) and the reporters always updated the situation, giving decent attention to the competition

that's what they always do on the Italian TV networks...how do you feel? let's re-watch your race and tell me what's gone wrong/great (depending on the outcome) finally, what are you going to do at tonigh't party (if it's over and you got some remarkable result)/what do you think you have to do to improve next time (if there's another round or if it's over and you haven't got a good result) they never go out of this scheme (in every sport) that's how I really hate those post-races interviews that are only covering the action on the field

or the IOC might cut their requests for "cathedrals in the desert" down... I think Budapest already have a lot of venues more than suitable for the OGs and if only the IOC could accept to host some sports in temporary pavillions in an "Exhibition Complex" in town (which would host any sort of activity as a legacy after the games), then also smaller Countries like (or ) might be able one day to enjoy Home Olympics otherwise it will be more and more difficult for them to find a big city really wanting to spend so much money, except maybe for some Nations under dictatorships in search for propaganda

in the end, it was a very enjoyable afternoon of athletics my highlights, the men's Hammer Throw and above all the KJT vs Anna Hall duel in the 800m of the women's Eptathlon...what a race! what an effort by a likely injured Hall and what an answer by KJT luckily, I didn't watch that on the BBC

yeah, Balaton Lake is perfectly suitable for sailing they already hosted European and World champs of Olympic classes in the past (actually, just Today won the ILCA 6 World Title thanks to Maria Erdi )

mixed Team Skeet Gold: United States 1 (Austen Jewell Simth & Vincent Hancock) Silver: Ukraine 1 (Iryna Malovichko & Mikola Milchev) Bronze: Great Britain 1 (Amber Jo Rutter & Ben Llewellin) Full Results https://www.issf-sports.org/competitions/venue/csevent.ashx?cseventid=18351

these mixed team events are really more than just the addition of a couple of individual performance, there must be some kind of feeling between the 2 shooters, otherwise the disaster is just behind the corner and the mental aspect, being contested the day following the individual finals, also plays a complicated role from an Italian perspective, despite the good performance of the men, we've just been killed by the bad day of our girls

a capital mistake cost the gold medal, with coming back from hell and making up good 8 points from the Swiss girl in the medal race, so to overtake her in the final overall standings the best, closest and most exciting medal race of the championship just at the end, despite the very difficult weather (almost no wind)

women's Dinghy (ILCA 6) Gold: Maria Erdi Silver: Maud Jayet Bronze: Anne-Marie Rindom Full Result https://worlds2023.sapsailing.com/gwt/Home.html#/regatta/leaderboard/:eventId=03b11a50-8446-43e9-878c-6cb60dc75715&regattaId=Worlds 2023 - Women's Dinghy

very weak wind today... it was just painful watching those boats struggling so much to sail at an at least acceptable speed they were just at the limit of the rulebook

men's Dinghy (ILCA 7) Gold: Matt Wearn Silver: Michael Beckett Bronze: George Gautrey Full Result https://worlds2023.sapsailing.com/gwt/Home.html#/regatta/leaderboard/:eventId=03b11a50-8446-43e9-878c-6cb60dc75715&regattaId=Worlds 2023 - Men's Dinghy

done it! well deserved gold medal for Alexander Schmirl

bronze to vs for gold (but it's a formality for the Austrian, unless some Emmons syndrome catches him)

out medals for and

and out, no OQP for them Today's OQPs go to

I fear (for them), yes but it's not the first time it happens, it's their attitude...save as much as you can for the Olympic campaign (an Olympic medal is the only chance for the US athletes to change their life and try to pursuit a truly professional career in athletics, anything else is just not so important)

I don't think so...the mixed relay has (despite they try to slight it everytime in every way) and (despite yesterday's accident) way, way above the rest of the field (and with this format it also has another problem...the women are way too important compared to the men, having a strong woman finishing the last leg is way more decisive than anything else) the gender relays (at least the men's) are way more competitive than that sh*t

men's Individual 50m 3-Position Rifle to the Final Aleksi Leppa Anton Rizov Petr Nymbursky Alexander Schmirl Christoph Duerr Akhil Sheoran Serhiy Kulish Yu Hao still fighting for the 4 Olympic Quota Places available
