Well, it will be a 15k stadium after the WCh, the white seats in the upper level will be gone and that level will be turned into a 800m running course and shops. They will probably be able to expand it again if we ever have a similarly big event. 15.000 seats will be plenty enough for most athletics events here, Hungarians don't show up in huge numbers for athletics. 

It's more than enough pretty much anywhere these days tbh.

Is it supposed to turn into an olympic stadium if ever Budapest was to host the OG ?

It looks more like a 50-60K stadium than a 36K one !

Anyway, that's the first permanent athletics stadium (10k+ seats ) buit in Europe in a very long time. I would say since Charléty Stadium in Paris (1994) but I'm waiting to be corrected.

Meeting in Sotteville  live (VPN needed probaby)

Meeting de Sotteville en direct avec de nombreux noms qu'on a cité ici. Pour eux, ce sera une première occasion de réaliser les minimas pour Paris

A part Renaud Lavillenie je sens pas les autres

The real heroes pf today's stage will be TV commentators around the world who will have to speak about nothing for about 4 hours. Chapeau

Toute la question est ; es ce que la fédération française d’athlétisme va imposer ses propres minimas comme elle l’a fait auparavant sur les autres olympiades où elle laissera les minimas IAAF ? Et le classement mondial comment ça va se passer ? Au jo de Tokyo la Fede n’avais pas repêché grand monde via le classement . 

Les minimas olympiques sont déjà bien hard... A mon avis, tout ceux qui auront réussi les minimas seront pris (ne serait-ce que pour s'éviter une mauvaise presse). A voir pour le ranking.

Il est vrai que ta méthode de "classement" est encore meilleure ainsi ! J'ajouterais quelques noms ici ou là (que j'ai cité dans mon propre tableur), mais super boulot !

 

(et je supprimerais Pierre-Ambroise Bosse qui ne reviendra jamais je pense, entre les blessures, la concurrence qui fait de meilleurs chronos que lui ces dernières années, et la motivation qui ne semble plus là 

Je crois que Floria Guei a arrêté sa carrière vu qu'on n'a plus de nouvelles depuis 2 ans, mais pas certain)

 

D'ailleurs j'avais cru lire que Teddy Tamgho avait repris l'entrainement, je me demande s'il arrivera à se remettre à niveau d'ici l'année prochaine.

Deuxième grossesse, mais pas d'annonce d'arrêt. Source : twitter en réponse à un gars qui se posait la même question que nous.

Pour PAB, on verra bien.

Ah ah, j'ai repris ma liste initiale, et effectivement entre les arrêts de carrière et ceux qui reculent d'année en année (les sprinteuses françaises ), j'ai dégagé près de 40% des noms

q : Qualifiés

!  : Qualification probable

? : Qualification possible

It’s not like baseball, cricket, or flag football are much better though. I think those four are the “frontrunners” from what I can discern. 
 

LA28 has held their cards very close though, so who knows? 

Quotas-wise, that's not possible unless IOC change its rules.

Lol, we have one semi-active club in the country...

J'ai en effet du mal à déterminer des "médaillables" autres que Kévin Mayer, Robert/Tual ou un hurdleur, mais le temps est encore long jusque Paris 2024 et nous ne sommes pas à l'abri de l'explosion d'un talent d'ici là ! 

 

(sympa cette fonctionnalité de pouvoir créer un sujet de discussion à partir de messages d'un autre topic!) 

Bigot, Chevrier, les relais. Et je pense qu'on a fait le tour. 

Peut être la longueur H suivant l'évolution des gars. 

Tiens d'ailleurs en voilà un qui se rapproche méchamment des minimas pour les Jeux (45.00)

On aura sans doute jamais eu aussi peu de médaillables (un favori jamais à l'abri d'un zéro et 5 ou 6 outsiders max) depuis très longtemps... Si on arrive à gratter 2 ou 3 médailles en athlé, ce sera déjà très bien.

(et je ne fais pas partie de la team misérabiliste/défaitiste)

So Madouas, olympic champion then.

Tomorrow the Tour starts from my hometown 

Wouah, that's so funny and edgy !

something exciting? yes, for the combat sports fans those disciplines are exciting (and point fighting could be also for newcomers, more than the other disciplines under WAKO management...not only, there might be less "manipulation" than in the other events)

 

 

That's the important part. Combat sports fans are allready well served by the olympic program as it is. Adding Kickboxing would only marginally improving that. If you want to bring newcomers to these sports, only some form of MMA would do it.

 

I don't see what kickboxing would add to the olympics table ? Money ? No ; Fans ? Not really ? Something new and exciting ? No And it's not like you can have the sport at the olympics without adding a load of extra quotas.

Maybe if god-awful TWD was to be kicked out of the olympics (one man can only hope), they  might find a way to remplace it, but that's it.

Right, hands up everybody who had Cofidis for the win?   Thought so.

15 years it didn't happen, it was bond to happen eventually

But, not necessarily this way 

How on eath this cross shit has been validated by IOC ? Did they see it or just heard the pitch from ICF ? It's only a random chaos thing with no spoting values. As @hckošiceputs it, it belongs to Jeux Sans Frontières.

Marjorie Delassus who was leading the whole semifinal has been disqualified for too heavier boat ... last time I heard this was the Clarke who tried to cheat with adding something into his boat a couple of years back and won the race to being later caught and DSQ

Thanks, I was curious why she was DSQ.

most of them being non-olympic events of olympic sports or just non-olympic sports (sometimes they're olympic events, but only if we can benefit from many absent stars -see diving/shooting/fencing/gymnastics with no Russians, for instance).

 

next year, our Olympic total won't be as good as i Tokyo, I fear

Italy easely won the European Championships last year, is heavely dominating this European Games, more than doubling CONI medals target. At that point, the country is seating on an very healthy 44 medals and 17 golds on the world championships medals table 

Italian sport is on an amazing upward trajectory. Anything but an historic record of medals and golds in Paris would be a major dissapointment.

I'm sorry mate, but you won't be abble to counter-jinx your country out of it

no no France has not lodged any dispute!

Actually, we did 

A swiss fencer (Favre) went out on an injury during the SF, before turning again for the final. Apparently, he should have seeked medical consultation for that and that was not the case.

Final decision to be made in a few days.
