    If Johnson-Thompson loses 2 meters to Thiam on the shot put, the world is normal. Because that is the expectation.

    I don't, but I am always slightly annoyed when watching BBC and hearing them talk not about Jessica Ennis-Hill, but Jessicarennis Hill (or not Dina Asher-Smith, but Dinarasher Smith)
  3. heywoodu
    Compared with what? She is currently in bronze medal position and around 12.50m should normally keep her there, I don't think she'll lose 2 meters on that.
  4. heywoodu
    Finally on her way to really being the new Jessicarennis Hill?

    Reports coming in from Berlin about broken eardrums right after Vucenovic's throw.

    Cachova over 1.86 That makes her the number one favourite for 5th place all of a sudden, with even a very real shot at 4th.

    Domination

    Vermeulen fighting for bronze, I had no idea she was already this good in open water Very nice fight for gold between Van Rouwendaal and Gabrielleschi, kilometer after kilometer.

    They did that yesterday I guess? Because yesterday evening when I wrote my 'report' on this event, I already wrote his 2nd best attempt was 8.00

    Wow, Vetter is having the most impressive high jump competition I've ever seen from her..
  11. heywoodu
    Pretty cool photos
  12. heywoodu
    That was not so smart from Mujezinovic.
  13. heywoodu
    By being exhausted beyond a level of exhaustion us mortals can even imagine?

    If she forgot her lap and stopped one lap too early, why should she be DQ'ed when in fact she didn't finish, which is not breaking a rule?
  15. heywoodu
    It did look like several athletes had jumps that were longer than the result, Nilsson Montler being one of them. Possibly the lines and stuff are not very well lined up. Anyway, again: too bad it's still 1935 and measuring technology isn't automatic yet.

    Even with doping I don't believe it's realistic

    Forecast for the heptathlon that starts today: http://www.ten7events.com/2018-ec-7/standings-sorted-by-forecasts/

    Empty beach = best beach

    I'd love a bet with Christoph about whether or not he'll break 80 meters. I'm hoping for his sake he's got a bit more realism in his bones than thinking it's actually legtimitely possible to go 6 meters further than they did in the heydays of doping yourself up with everything in store.

    All Austra Skujyte makes me think of nowadays is a bookmaker once offering odds per individual decathlon/heptathlon event, and giving odds of between 3 and 4 for Skujyte to win the shot put (as in, €1 turns into €3 or €4 if you win the bet, which of course was the case because Skujyte)
  21. heywoodu
    That depends on the championships. He already scored 8336 points with a poorer run than today. Without improving his 1500m 8400 points is very much realistic for starters (even 8500 maybe, seeing that he's still only 22 and can improve in every event one might say) and that can, as we're seeing right now, be enough for medals.
  22. heywoodu
    By the way, respect for the two French dudes bombing out in the 2nd event of the decathlon, but following that up by completing all 8 remaining events in style, including the killing 1500m.
  23. heywoodu
    Especially because then you get people thinking "oh you're in 2nd place, you're in clear medal position!", not knowing there's such a thing as, well, being good or less good in certain events.
  24. heywoodu
    Not really. He ran a PB in the 1500 and didn't lose that much in javelin. Long jump is where he blew it mostly.
  25. heywoodu
    I don't know which events you did and did not watch, but for me the last time is about a year ago at the world championships.
