I'm sorry that this is too late to change the design, but I think that there will be only one (mixed) team competition at the Judo World Championships, ... my prediction is for the mixed event, but I'm probably the only one who noticed it so I guess that team events predictions will not count.

There are 3 teams tied for the 2nd place at 6 points: HUN, JPN, CAN. So you have to follow this procedure: 1) decide which team is 2nd...the tiebreakers are the results among those teams: HUN - JPN 17-6 , HUN - CAN 5-8 , CAN - JPN 11-12....All teams have 2 points but HUN has the best goal difference (+8), so HUN is classified 2nd in the group; 2) at this point you have 2 teams, CAN and JPN, that are tied at 6 points for the 3rd place...the tiebreaker is the match between them: CAN - JPN 11-12, so JPN is 3rd in the group. (after Step 1, results against HUN do not count anymore)

They also had a runner vs "walker" competition...

French swimming coach Romain Barnier suspended for 6 months for preventing a doping control on three swimmers https://swimswam.com/romain-barnier-suspended-from-coaching-for-6-months-for-alleged-anti-doping-rules-violation/

Probably not the first...Shooting World Championships will start on August 31

Perkovic

Bosworth, what a fool...he had already shown his beautiful technique in the 1 mile race walk in the London DL...surely not one of those who want shoes with sensors

I wrote "all"(those constantly shown).

Except that they were all to disqualify...and as I already said even the Italian medal is worth nothing...

No conspiracy...Italy got a medal but until they introduce technology and objective rules this is worth as a medal in synchronized swimming (next to nothing), not athletics. Two events today were a spot against race walk.

And Lyu refuses to stop

LOL Gonzalez running...and they disqualify Lyu, what a shame Edit: Ok, they were all horrible

Only 4 women finished. Randall, who caused this event to be added this year with the help of her lawyer, had a gap of 42:26 after 40 km. Now they insist for it to be added to the Olympic programme to reach gender equality. IAAF face more threats of legal action as Tokyo 2020 set as next target for women's 50km walk As the article says, " Gender equality could be achieved by adding it at Paris 2024 but it could also be done by dropping the men's 50km race walk from the programme."

Marco De Luca despite being called Lorenzo for the whole race has decided to keep his original name

Yin lapped Yang and commentators still thinking that they are fighting for silver

According to BBC, Warner was also ill and had been quarantined for two days.

Why? Is Fajdek injured? It's true that he failed in Rio, but he is 23-2 against Nowicki over the last 2 years.

The next Giro d'Italia will probably start in Jerusalem, the first time outside Europe. http://www.velonews.com/2017/08/news/giro-start-jerusalem_445586

Yes, all three robbed (because obviously they are the guilty ones, not those who male the rules if you think they're wrong) Bishop at gunpoint.
